Very cool. I love reading company history tidbits, especially ones that include rarities like the Kasco machines.

https://www.4shared.com/zip/KsXD5Lb8ba/Ninja_Gun_Manual.html? Two varieties. One of these days maybe I'll get around to making a better copy.

To a degree...I'm no expert on these 7400/7500 series, but it seems some of the component tolerances get out of whack and cause this type of issue. So they will "work", but do this random turning on-off mess. Sorry for the craptactular video, taken many years ago on crappy cell phone. When you...

Fresh cap kit is a good start, but if it persists here are some of my old notes: (not all will apply in your case) Wells Gardner K7401 collapsing B+ Check R108 it is typically a .33 ohm 2w resistor Change R108 to a .22 ohm 2w as a replacement Check associated circuitry having to do with R108...

Works for me just fine as well. It has a "cookies" blerb towards the top, maybe something do do with that?

Damn, was afraid of that. I'm guessing it just doesn't even try to start up? Wonder if a good clean up, lubrication, belt, etc would get it going. (if it's not an electrical/electronic failure) I know these decks are a common failure, but not sure what specifically causes the failure.

I remember seeing somewhere something about two different SIZE boardsets for the DECO machines. Is that a difference between uprights and cocktails by chance? Might want to check into that before buying boardsets that may not fit in your cocktail. Tape and dongle should all be the same though I...

Original DECO kits with tapes and dongles? If so, then that ain't bad.

Awesome !! Now that's what I remember seeing on screen A LOT. Lol So you have what seems to be a working boardset and crisp monitor, almost there. If you can come up with a microcassette of any kind it might be worth popping it in just to see if the player tries to do what it's suppose to...

So this is how I see it going.

The pcb has pin #1 and #6 labeled. (circled in red)

Have you checked the dipswitches mentioned in the troubleshooting section of the manual? Or try reseating the dongle? "Blue screen" is good... just not sure what the garbage image is. I don't think the order of boards matters on these, but it's been a while and I've done lost any pictures I...

So do you have it connected like this?

Are they square pins? Or more flat like? How does the clip fit to lock it on? (can't quite tell from that pic angle)

How wide is that connector on the game pcb? Can you get an angle showing how it clips together? What monitor chassis are you trying to put in there?
