Ok, I took my time last night with the help of a friend tracing through everything and it turns out one of the 2 amp slow blow fuses was blown.
I replaced that fuses and we're back in business.
Woohoo!
Ah... I saw the cardboard protector, but had not removed it. The marquee light was working hours before the whole system went out.
My plan is to replace all of the fuses and see if that fixes it. Are the F1 and F2 main line fuse?
I didn't realize you could pull the peg out. When I work on the machine, I usually take some electrical tape and keep the peg pushed in. :-) Thanks.
I've seen those same reports, are there two seperate fuse holders? (Some of the threads seem to say "replace both fuse holders") On my unit I...
Hey there,
My Ms. Pacman is no longer powering up. Neither monitor or even the marquee has power. I've checked out the fuse holder on the power supply and replaced two fuses that appeared to have blown. I plan to replace the remaining two later today.
Some posts here lead me to believe there...
Thanks can someone walk me through the 101 on conversion boards like the JPAC? (http://ultimarc.com/jpac.html)
Am I correct in that I plug the JAMMA harness to the conversion board, then run a USB and VGA connector to the PC?
What I might do is buy two male connectors and run new wires from those to the JPAC, that way I can leave the additional harness for the Chicago Gaming unit intact and restoring to its original state is simply a matter of plugging it back into the original board.
I'm looking through the possibility of converting a Chicago Gaming Ultimate Arcade 2 unit that I have to run off of a PC.
Open the unit up inside reveals that the unit is JAMMA (see the photo at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffsand/3512034802/?ref=mf) for what the existing PC board looks like...
Sorry to ressurect such an old thread, but I am definitely interested in the how to. I also have an Arcade 2 from Costco and would like to do the same upgrade.
Hey there,
I own an Ultimate Arcade 2 from Chicago Gaming. (In addition to a Ms. Pacman that I recently restored - http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffsand/sets/72157607330818498/).
I was wondering if anyone has taken an UA2 and replaced the proprietary OS with a JAMMA board like the 1069 in 1...
Sorry I missed your party Full Throttle, maybe next year? (Work has been a little crazy)
I'm now complete with the restoration of this Ms. Pacman.
Adjusting the B+ and V. Lin really improved the screen resolution. I've also now sanded down the cabinet, replaced the bezel and repainted.
Here's...
Thanks again everyone. The machine is running great, does anyone have experience with the TwoBits replacement decals? If I get the machine cleaned up, my wife will let me move it into our family room.
