Thanks for the help. On P3 pin 1 I get .2v AC, everything else shows 0 (incl my 5v line to the main board.) I think my dallas chips are suspect. They're cheap phillipines chips. Recommendations on good replacements?

I do get the "Hello, I am turned on" on start up, but no knocker. I have done the dallas RAM mod. I was getting a RAM1 error message, so replaces both memory chips with the dallas DS1220AD. Still no love. If I got bad memory chips would that cause this?

P3: 1: 19.9v 2: empty slot 3: -12v 4: 11.9v 5: gnd 6: 29.9v P4: 5.01v Not sure what "AC ripple on your DC rails" is or how to test it?

Anyone have any ideas? I'd really like to get this going again!

My q-bert finally made it's way out of storage and into the new house. I fired it up and got the below: Ignore the black bars, those dont show when looking at it in real life. My PSB is putting out the right voltages, and all the LED's are lit. Help?

any other thoughts on this one? I'd like to get the game together and playable.

I moved it, but it moves the entire image - I need just the sagging part to lift.

I have a new-to-me KT-2914. I re-capped it, and in the process found that the yoke was in pretty bad shape (flopping loosely around on the neck) and there were multiple burn spots on the board. Some weird things have been done (piggbacking caps, for example.) After the work I have a weird image...

Cheers dog. Wiring in a toggle is my next step. I think I have a low 5v+ situation as well since sometimes my screen flickers and some of my controls don't work. Need to figure this out as I don't like having games down for repair :(

BTT, any thoughts on this one? Surely someone has hooked up the 8118 and can explain how to wire/connect it?

I installed a GBS 8118 2:1 switcher to toggle between a 4XX:1 and a 60:1 multicade. Everything works great, except it doesnt switch? Regardless of which game I plug into which slot, I only get whats plugged into slot2 on the screen. If I unplug the receiver for the switching remote it toggles...

Looks like a couple of issues to me. I would guess you have some kind of power problem, note the marquee light shutting on and off - thats wired directly to the power supply I believe as it runs on 120v. The bars look like monitor adjustment to me, but someone with more knowledge than me can...

As one who has seen these, I have to say they're really nice. Great work Matt. Now, how about that Qbert cocktail top? ;-)

Attract mode for Tron? Or more accurately, music/sound during the attract mode for Tron.

I'd love to participate in a kick starter campaign, or get on a list for board sales. Are you putting together a pre-sale list?
