    Pac-Man from 2 bad cabinets

    Thanks! I sold the second cabinet to someone that wanted to restore it as I don't need 2 Pac-Mans, so it went to a proper new home

    Pac-Man from 2 bad cabinets

    Hi all, as an arcade enthusiast, the thing I love most about them is repairing and restoring. I tried to pour that enthusiasm into an entertaining and interesting video, showcasing the entire process. In this particular case, I restore a Pac-Man arcade from 2 bads cabinets. I hope you enjoy, as...

    Terminator 2 sound issues

    For future reference: I bought MSM6295 chips from another Ebay seller here: https://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/126885577231, and replaced it on the sound board. This has fixed all issues. If the Ebay link should stop working, the seller is called ICinventory and has "crystal's store" written on the...

    Terminator 2 sound issues

    Bought these from AliExpress: https://aliexpress.com/item/32919983232.html but they came in and are unlabeled. I think it's best not to trust these?

    Terminator 2 sound issues

    I replaced the crystal and the issue remains. To be sure I checked a play video on YouTube and it seems that for the short time it works, lots of sounds are not being played. Replacing the OKI seems like a good idea. Are any AliExpress or Ebay sellers trustworthy for this IC? I'd order from a...

    Terminator 2 sound issues

    It does feel like some intermittent behavior is occurring. Sounds works fine at first, but stops working after some time, playing different sounds or none at all, and sometimes the screeching sound occurs. That definitely doesn't feel like a bad amp or opamps, as sound plays fine at first, but...

    Terminator 2 sound issues

    I read about the 2 TL084 opamps on the arcade repair website. Are those what you mean? It's worth a shot to replace them

    I have also just verified the sound ROMs, they are identical to MAME so that should not be the issue

    Terminator 2 sound issues

    Very nooby question, but how can I verify that? I don't have an oscilloscope, only a multi meter and a logic probe

    Terminator 2 sound issues

    Caps brought back the sound effects, but after some time this loud buzz comes on

    Terminator 2 sound issues

    I'm sorry if this didn't come across how I intended it, but I'm definitely going to replace the caps as I know it's an issue. I just want to rule out or look at as many options as possible simultaneously as I'm on such a tight planning

    Terminator 2 sound issues

    So this shouldn't be a ROM issue?

    Forgot to mention it, but the caps don't look like they are leaking

    Terminator 2 sound issues

    I know this is yet again another post for T2 sound issues, and I am going to recap the sound board as soon as possible to see if that fixes anything. However, I'm on a tight schedule to get this fixed in 1 week, so I was hoping to get a bit of a head start diagnosing what's going wrong. The...
