Just wanted to post a shout-out to the original poster. I've been living with the loud speaker hum for the last 15 years, and stumbled across this thread when searching for ways to kill it. Ordered the parts, installed in 10 minutes, and man, what a difference! Thanks so much for this!
My DK continues to sit idle, and the natives (kids) are getting restless.
Anyone want to part with a working DK or DK Jr PCB? Would be willing to trade an entire Popeye kit (PCB, Marquee, Bezel, CPO) for one, or just buy it out right.

Any thoughts on this? I'm thinking about buying a 60-in-1 when the next batch gets ordered, but I'm not too partial to the menu screen, and I hear that some of the games are "off".
On the flip-side, the Arcadeshop Multi-Game PCB is expensive, but the games are dead-on (so I hear), and the menu...
With and without. You can see it when it starts to happen if you're watching.
The characters start to freeze on and off during attract, like the whole thing suddenly slows down to 1 frame per second (skipping the missed frames). Eventually those sprites will completely freeze, and the attract...
