I bought a pair of Sega Super GT twins from Tilt. Long and short of it, one of the 4 tubes was VERY dark, changed a known good chassis into it and it remained dark.
Well, a few weeks later I turned it back on, was planning on confirming the bad tube and sorting the 4 chassis out. Magic smoke smell was immediate! Crapola...
WG U5000 chassis.
So the question, the machine was on daily at the mall up till the time I bought. Is it possible for that tube to have damaged the chassis after having set off for a few weeks?
I did notice the little adjustment board was hanging down near the pedals, might have been touching. No fuse blew on the chassis, but no signs of life when turned on. Any ideas on where to even start troubleshooting this??
