Hello, as the title says this is a question on the Daytona USA Twin Cab. I was playing on the right hand side player 2 a few weeks back and all of the sudden the screen blacked out on me. My son was playing on player 1 and could still see me playing and moving the car around when I steered any direction. But for some reason my screen is blacked out. I have no sound because the Sound board or Amp is out and haven't replaced it yet. But upon further investigation I found the Neck not to be glowing unlike the other side. I gave the board attached to the neck a wiggle to see if it may be a loose connect but no luck. I seen in arcade tips where it could be the flyback. Well my question is what do I need to check first ?

I would think it is a monitor issue if you could play on the other monitor, so maybe identify your monitor and start a thread in the monitor sub-forum. Sorry not too helpful, but that is what I would do.

Okay ty...
 
Daytona is over 20 years old now. I tell all of my customers now to consider upgrading to LED / LCD. Pretty simple and not very expensive now. There are a few people out there that can still repair the Nanao MS8-26SU that should be in your game. But you still end up with a 20+ year old CRT monitor.
 
+1 For fixing your CRT monitor. Nothing beats the beautiful picture on a fully working RGB CRT! :)

I took the back off to check the voltage, I am at around 120 is that ok ? I also noticed the fan isn't working at the bottom like it used to be. Was just making a clicking sound.

I also hate to get rid of it for LED because the screen had no burn in that I could tell and the colors looked good. But the fact it's just stopped is worrying me now too. What would I replace the monitor with like size wise and the piece to convert it ?
 
120vac is fine. No neck glow is bad. Fan clicking? PSU or cabinet? Either way you should look into that. Seperate issue but keep the fans happy. As for size, anything that fits the space. Most likely it will be 16x9 so its going to stretch horizontally unless you can find a 4x3 format. As for bezel, just fit some plexi in front of it, mask off viewable portion and shoot the rest flat black. Instant mask. make sure monitor is instant on and does not require you to press any buttons to power on. I have some old contacts for chassis repair if you want to go that route. Email me direct for this.

Fans clicking in the cabinet on the bottom back side, I am guessing it keeps the heat pulled out. Just makes a clicking notice like its trying to come on but cant. I may try repairing the chassis myself. Then if I cant I will just put in a LED, I really would like to keep it original. Like I said the monitor looked great no burn in or anything. Just went black all the sudden. I dont have an extra 120 bucks to get a HV Probe so really worried about not making the discharge out of a screw driver and some wire with a clip on it. Any way to find out exactly the monitor I have because I have another machine that was given free to me and it has no side art and doesnt play and I wanna see about repairing the monitor at the same time.
 
We mostly put Nanao MS8-26SU in these but some did get Wells Gardner U5000 also. Pretty easy to tell which. If its Nanao it says so in chassis. If its WG, "WG" will be in some of the ID numbers. We didn't put anything else in these.

No worries about the HV thing. Thick wire connected to a large screwdriver with wire fixed to metal frame will work fine. Just make sure you get it fully discharged before removing anode. I used to just use two large screwdrivers. One touching frame and the other crossing over first one pushed under anode cover. Never had an issue.
