Hello,
Just an update on what I've found since I moved them in and a few questions. As expected, the condition of them is appalling, but I did expect that.
After a day or two of cleaning and trouble shooting, I have both cabs racing like champs.
I have removed all of the sound pcb's from both sides: Sound board, pre-amp and amps. The rca jacks on the pre-amps, where they're soldered in are cracked or loose and they were crashing one of them and creating other anomalies. I re-soldered one pre-amp board and it now works. The actual game sound boards on both are pretty well shot and do not work. While I was removing them, I found this little pcb relay board next to the PS that was burned up. It's a relay, Zero Cross 2A 75 to 125 v ac AQB2A1-ZT3/6VDC, the little board can be saved, but I need to find a new one of those to install.
In the pcb cage there's the stack of game boards, but there is one that sits alone in the back of the cage. What is it and what do those three rows of 8 dip switches control? I can't find a thing about them on the internet, but there they are, just asking to be switched around. Currently, they're in the off position in both cabs as I found them.
I fiddled with the drive boards and turned the vr1 pot all the way up and the 1-3 dip switches to the 'on' position. Guess what? My arms are sore. At least the steering clutches, motors and belts are in decent shape.
I can't dump a fortune into them, but I have the two twins racing around like crazy so I'm happy and next week I should be receiving the used sound boards that I bought.
Also, I would really like two new plastic dash/control panels and gear shifter covers in the future if anyone knows where to get them. Mine have been burned up by the cigarette brigade.
I'll post some pictures in the future, but right now they're in a real ugly state. One of them nearly broke in half while we were lifting her.
