Hello All,
I am new to the board, and new to arcade game ownership. I just picked up a Burgertime cocktail from a neighbor. He said it used to work, but he had to move it and after that he said it no longer worked. I have a buddy who used this board to help him with his Ms. Pac Man.
So here is the deal, the monitor doesn't work. I can hear it power on, but nothing shows up on the screen. I can see the tube has a slight glow, which is a good sign. I have looked around for loose wire and found a ground strap that broke (which goes to the coin door), and another random green wire with yellow stripe that looks to be a ground. Also someone changed the power cord at one time and used butt connectors and on of the wires worked its way loose. I square all these issues away and no go. The fan(s) are running, and so are the lights for the joystick.
Any ideas? I am a bit fearful of pulling the boards because i really don't know much about electronics. I did pull the connectors for one of the board and looked at the brass connections, but they looked fine. I tried toggling the test switches, and nothing happened.
Any help would be appreciated, or if anyone is local and willing to help, I would deeply appreciate it.
