Hey'all, Could someone help me out with verifying the main harness connector orientation/labeling of these? I'm trying to mate an un-keyed harness with @ArcadeJason 's Vector Wars board in this scratch build of mine and would appreciate help confirming my suspicions. There are nice shrouds glued...

I know there are a number of you who are pros repairing games as a regular job (and also a few who claim amateur status but are absolute monsters at repair) and the more I read Randy Fromm's Big Blue and Green books the more it seems to me that there COULD be a fairly (although maybe pretty...

I have a good Fluke DMM and a Peak ESR tester but it's high time I got a decent meter for measuring yoke values properly as I don't have anything that reads in Henries of any range. Anybody have experience with Peak's atlas series LCR meter or have suggestions on something similar that they prefer?

Can anybody here use this thing? Couldn't resist it at my local Goodwill thinking someone might want it. and it looks hardly used. Free to anyone who will tell me what is on this tape! Just say you want it and send me your address.

Was running for maybe an hour without any apparent issue and then I looked at it and found the above. I rebooted it and of course then I saw this- Should I begin with pulling, cleaning, reseating roms and cables or does someone with more wisdom know that won't help anyway? Trying to get as...

If I am using two 24V supplies wired to approximate a center tapped 50V supply is it relevant whether the +24 goes to the line at F3 and the -24 to the line at F4 or vice-versa - or doesn't matter? I still don't understand how the diodes those fuses feed into supply the power rails well enough...

So the second monitor put in my SWT just died. It is entirely possible that I have just had two in a row that were tired old chassis and simply succombed in an appropriate manner from a temporal standpoint. Or maybe something is up with one of the boards causing this? I can say that with some...

So I have fought (for far too long) with trying to get my multivector machines fully operational. I have used the easily found ready made Pi images (and PC files for that matter) to run AdvanceMame with both a USB-DVG and also Robin's vstcm board. No problem getting menus to load, producing an...

So I haven't had a chance to turn on anything in FAR too long and had a shot at installing some remote turn-on receptacle things the other night and then fired everything up to test. This Rush 2049 hasn't been touched since the last time we had it running and played it a bit and I heard it boot...

Regular old 12oz can of Red Bull for scale. Curious to do the math on how many machines I could run off of this thing. :D

It occurred to me the other day that I have a great tool for this otherwise difficult task! I suppose I should build something to utilize this now.

Can't remember all of what I was telling Santa I wanted when I was 13 but this would have been part of it! Sent to me by sister whose DJ friend actually still has this TV Guide.

So yeah, I'm new to the whole mess but REALLY new to vector torture. I'm looking at these two boards, notably a P339 pictured here on right and P314 on the left. So apart from the LV6100 I haven't installed on the P339 yet can you spot the differences? Where the hell did all those extra diodes...

Pretty much any condition is okay as long as it's not so burned out that it can't be rebuilt if it isn't already working.

For all those scope aficianados here, there is one of these available to me locally and I wondered if it would do what I would need it to for game repair (assuming I learn how to use the bloody thing.) I know NOTHING about these beasts yet so it is for a noob of course, but don't want to waste...

I don't have the rest of it so I'm trying to triage this before I build up the rest of it and wondered what veteran opinions are on how to approach this board. I'll be reading through the 73 page faq (again!) but are there any other veteran suggestions for this thing? This board has had all...

Pair of Taitos. The Space Invaders is an easy one (and actually has a board set in it) but the other above I don't remember seeing as a kid. Anyone identify that from the control panel? No other clarifying details anywhere. The board set is missing in that one but it has a funky Taito labeled...

So the Rampage is completely functional again but has an odd noise. At first I thought it was background sound from the helicopters flying around your head, but no. Last time I fired up the machine I only heard that "bump" sound commonly heard when you turn something on and then it was as...

After getting it running finally, I've been trying to find out why the left flipper didn't work on the Eight Ball Deluxe. Then I remembered that there was a self test protocol. Get into the solenoid check and it goes fine until the last drop bank target and then the thing goes silent. Well...

When they so blatantly used Jerry Garcia for the Sorcerer in Gauntlet?! Anybody notice any other glaringly obvious (possibly entertaining or even just imagined?!) similar transgressions that people somehow got away with?
