So I just went down and checked it for myself. My roommate metered the actual pin with the wire disconnected for some reason. With the wire CONNECTED, I have 3.77v. I took the board off earlier and cleaned the contacts even though they looked great. Looking like my only options at this point are...

I metered the pin a few minutes ago, and i have no voltage there with the ground lead on the metal plate and positive lead on the pin. Any suggestions on where to find a new interface board? Channel, shipping wouldnt be that bad. The gun board isnt very big.

I have not. My soldering skills are novice at best, and I believe I read that those chips are surface mount. I have 0 experience with surface mount.

Ok guys, Im back in the states and ready to revisit this game. Still in the same state as it was when I shipped out. Everything boots up, game starts, but no cross hairs on the screen from the guns. I talked with a local arcade room owner who seems to think its the guns themselves. I have tried...

Any other advice guys? The csync wire is connected to the monitor.

I tried to trace it earlier. It looks to me like it leaves the gun board and goes to the connector on the back of the main board. This is the JAMMA connector correct? Im unsure which wire is the sync to the monitor

Alright, I have some bad news. I metered the red and black wires at the hard drive and the other end of that harness where it plugs into the board. I got 4.88 at both spots. The connector has a red, black, black, and orange wire in that order. I probed the red and the second black in fear of the...

Thanks for hanging in there with me guys. This is all new to me and Im still learning. I will check the voltages and tinker with the monitor when I get back from physical therapy this afternoon. I was a low voltage tech for 8 years so I know my way around a meter, just never had to repair the...

Voltage where?

There are 2 on the interface board, but they are both labeled 85A64TK and HCT14 under that. Im guessing its the same chip you are talking about, just a different part number? Any suggestions on a reliable inexpensive source to get the chips? Also, I mislead you all and said there were 3 leds...

I printed that manual yesterday lol. We have tried the lights on and off. We cant get the "bullseye" used for targeting to show up on the screen period. I have tried making the screen brighter and darker but still no luck.

We pulled the fuses out and metered them first thing. Checked out good. Here are the best pics I could get of the gun board. Kind of an awkward spot to get into with a broken knee.......

Thanks for the welcome. I posted a thread in the tech section in hopes that it will get seen. I know on the other forums I frequent, I dont check the new members section often lol. Here is a link to thread http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?p=2143514#post2143514

Hello everyone. Im new to the arcade scene and just picked up this carnevil under false pretense of it working. The game itself boots up and works fine. The picture was a bit fuzzy and color was off, so we fumbled with the pots? and got it looking decent. My problem is with the guns. The fella I...

Hello everyone. I recently acquired a CarnEvil arcade and was misled on the condition/functionality of it. Did some google searching and stumbled upon this forum. This is my first cabinet, so I have been lurking, searching, and reading trying to wrap my head around how these things operate. Im...
