Just to clarify the whole cockpit is not leveling quite right... this thing moves around so its physically tilting to one side as "center" (not enough to make it unplayable) game plays fine an cockpit does what its supposed to, you are just always leaning to the side a bit when you you are...

I'll have to have a look inside or underneath this thing... In running the tests and working on this issue I learned that it is supposed to vibrate too... the sounds all seem to work ok, I might be missing some sounds but I cant tell. I'm hoping that the problem is at the steering wheel and not...

2 out of 3 aint bad These games are a beast... The best I could get was 3 out of six to work for various reasons... Just swapped some seats around this morning and disconnected the other two machines... I'd have thrown them out the window if they weren't so heavy. I might have some spare parts...

Working on a Sega Power Drift that is incorrectly centered... slightly left... Ran the motor tests and machine fails motor self test but responds during Bank test... the vibration motor is not functioning. Is there any way to manually calibrate this game to get it to rest where it is supposed...

Treasure Chest Claw problems, anyone familiar with these? I am working on a Treasure Chest claw machine today and I have never worked on them... first problem is the claw isn't dropping... the second problem is it just kinda keeps restarting... it is never idle but does seem to recognize when...

shit half the time something isn't plugged in all the way :) Power supply, board(s), then monitor... Often it is just a power supply issue... do you know how to use a multimeter to measure for 120 AC, +5 DC, -5 DC, +12 DC ? These are the essential voltages... some games will have -12 DC and...

Ms. Pac-man "shadow" glitch and triple red line... I am getting red "shadows" when the characters are at the top of the maze... and a nice triple red line across the bottom of the maze... neither of these really effects the game play but it would be nice to get it cleaned up especially if its...

Just got a Ms. Pac-man and it plays and looks great except for this red line at the bottom of the maze and some weird red "shadows" when ms. pac is at the top of the maze... any suggestions as to what may fix this? It isnt much of a problem but the cleaner the better.

wG K4600??? Thanks... they both look real similar, I saw the pics of the K7000 on Bob Roberts and that does look like the monitor I have, but so does the sharp... I will order the cap kit for the WG thanks again... anything I should know about the K7000 before I do a cap kit... I have some...

I am ordering some parts and wanted to get a cap kit for my Tron... I checked Bob Roberts page and am fairly certain the monitor is a Sharp Image... but I am not sure what model of Cap kit to order... anyone know for sure? Thanks

I have a Daytona USA game and here are what the screens are displaying... The one with the bars on it is player one... the other pic is a camera angle problem that is happening on player 2 (view 3) and player 3 and 4 (all angles) if they are hooked up... I just drilled out the locks and any help...

I have been learning about monitors and read a post about a G07 with a blown fuse needing to be shorted/discharged at the fuse... is this the only monitor that this is a concern on also how would you safetly accomplish this? I don't have one to work on but was just curious.

Thanks I have located the transistors on the neckboard and am going to go ahead and replace... thanks
