    Hey all! I always like to post my trials and tribulations when it comes to fixing board problems for my games when they arise in the hopes that they may benefit others in the future. So here is my latest for one of my Star Wars boards that recently decided to stop booting and was stuck in...

    Inferno assistance.

    Hey all! Well, my Inferno went dark at CAX :( . I've never had an issue with it before, but it went out sometime in the later morning of Saturday while at the show. Another KLOV'r and I did our best to try to bring it back to life, but with our limited resources at the show, we were not...

    Gorf joystick question

    Hey all! I'm finishing up some work on a friend's Gorf cocktail to have it ready for California Extreme. One thing I noticed...his cocktail has a 4 way joystick, but my recollection of playing Gorf uprights is that it should be 8 way, and the game's entry on KLOV says the latter. I don't...

    Omega Race cockpit seat removal?

    Does anyone out there know how to remove the cushion seat in the Omega Race cockpit? I'm working with a friend to restore his recently-acquired cockpit and we're pretty close to having it ready with the plan being to bring it to CAX, but the seat cushion is split down the middle and needs to be...

    Teeter Torture board repair.

    Hey all! Just wanted to post a recent success I had when my Teeter Torture board (actually a converted Venture board) developed an issue a few months back for posterity and of course in the hopes it might assist others with similar boardsets in the future. The board worked, but it started...

    Atari Disco flyback question

    Happy New Year to all! Hey, I just read something that surprised me in the WG6100 FAQ. On page 18 where it describes the flyback, it states that the Atari Disco raster monitor has the identical flyback (to the WG6100). Is this true? Can one use one of the repro'd WG6100 flybacks in an Atari...

    Rubber boot source?

    Hey all! Working on restoring an Amplifone HV cage I've had lying around for a while now. One thing I need would be the little rubber/flexible boot covers that go over the focus and screen wire connections (where the wires are soldered to the focus and screen controls). Is there a source...

    Cinematronics monitor issue.

    Hey all! Still working on a Cinematronics/Keltron monitor for a friend that was from his Space Wars. As I think the flyback was bad on the original chassis board, I ordered up ArcadeJason's bare chassis board and populated it with mostly new components as well as some of the original...

    Cinematronics monitor questions.

    Hey all! Working on a Cinematronics monitor for a friend. It came from a Space Wars so it is the earlier, "discrete" version with the flyback located on the monitor board itself. I rebuilt it but it still would not come up and I think it may have been that the flyback was bad. At any rate, I...

    Film capacitor labeling question.

    Hey all! Just a "for my knowledge" question (and in this case, a question I'm about 99% sure I already know the answer to ;) ), please see the picture of these film caps. For the labeling on the caps, I know that these are 0.047 mF, but why is what appears to be the voltage label stated as...

    Star Trek blue output wire?

    Hey all! The blue color output on my Star Trek upright has become a bit flakey of late. I've narrowed it down to the connector that plugs into the CPU board, but can't seem to figure out which of the actual wires (there are 10 going into this connector) is the culprit. I'm pretty certain that...

    Board ID

    Recently came into possession of some Sega G80 boards for the typical cage card system mainly for their vector games. But one of the boards I do not recognize: I'm guessing it was for a raster game, but I otherwise haven't a clue. Any ideas on what game this board might be for? Jon

    Troubleshooting another WG7201.

    Hey all, Got another WG7201 for the same friend that had a horizontal sync issue. I replaced 7823 (IC2) and the Horizontal sync pot, and it seems to have mostly fixed the problem. However, now I have a picture like this: The upper area's image is all kind of broken up. I capped the...

    Well Gardner K7201 repair.

    Working on a WG K7201 for a friend. It went out on him last week...no picture and it just seems to be stone cold dead. I did find what appears to be an open/dead diode that is labeled "FF1003." I can't seem to find much information when I search for this type of diode. I did find one that is...
