    MMAO - Parts: Namco System 23 board - Time Crisis 2 I believe?

    On a shelf since 2019 when I did a quick bench test - boots, and eventually comes up with "SUBCPU INITIALIZING ... SUBCPU PROGRAM Ver. 0206 SUBCPU INITIALIZE TIME OUT" - from what I've read, this is as far as it'll boot without an I/O board connected. All I have is the main board - no cage, no...

    Tube compatibility between Matsushita TM-201G and TM-202G?

    From the bit I’m finding, I’m guessing these two Matsushita’s use compatible tubes, but would like to confirm. I have a TM-201G I’ve gotten repaired, and have a TM-202G (with a tube that has the very faintest/difficult to see Pole Position burn-in) that has vertical collapse that I’m currently...

    ID PROM used on Midway 8080/BW boardset?

    Hey folks, Just recently picked up an EPROM programmer that'll handle 2704/2708 stuff, so going through a few tubes of old pulls from various Midway 8080 B&W board sets I've had forever to verify what's what.

    Gave up on the funky road lines video board a while back, and have moved on to other boards. On my last CPU board, and it’s giving me fits, so looking for suggestions. Issue is similar to some other posts I’ve found. Getting a RAM 40 message with known-good video boards, and known-good...

    Quick question on a Pole Position road graphic issue that I’ve seen before (see this video), but which I’ve found no solutions posted for. Attaching image as well for reference. Appears that at regularly spaced intervals, the right/left white sections of the road border are instead getting...

    Cinevectron: Audio/Power adapter cable build info.

    For those who have a Cinevectron and older Cinematronics or Vectorbeam games where the volume pot is on the audio board, vs. a separate pot inside the cabinet, you'll need to build up an adapter cable for proper installation. See this post. As I was the first to build up the cable, I've been...

    See this auction (seller has another here and here.). Anybody pick these up and can provide input on the quality?

    Working on a backup deflection board for the G05-802 I have in my LL, and was unable to ever get any image at all even after cap kit, all the recommended mods, going over the board and checking every diode/resistor, swapping all the smaller transistors, etc. Main board works fine, so knew it...

    My Arcade - hacking for multiple games...

    Brother got me a My Arcade Elevator Action for Christmas - nice, sturdy, and pretty well done all things considered. I’d read in the past about folks opening these up, and setting up buttons or dip switches to allow switching between 6 to 8 games total. Apparently the PCB had all the games; it...
