This is my first attempt at a cab restoration, and am using this as a learning experience. I bought this non working HS-5 cabinet, and am hoping to get the original hardware back to working order. Currently the only thing that is working is the marquee light, and the fan in the CPS2 board.
The board on the left seems to be some type of video slots game board, and seems to have it's own type of "JAMMA" harness, and from what I can gather this harness and the JAMMA harness going to the CPS2 are being shared somehow. The power supply shown here is unused. Everything is running of a 200 watt PS in the rear of the cabinet.
The monitor seems to be a WG 25k7191, at least that's what the label on the chassis mount says. From everything that I've been reading, this monitor type has to run through an ISO transformer, which I believe one of the below picture shows. Please correct me if I'm way off base. I don't get any type of filament light on the back of the monitor. Can one of the many issues be a faulty ISO transformer? This seems like the easiest place to begin, (other than the fuse) before I even dare to learn about chassis repair.
ISO Transformer??
Inside the back of cabinet:
I've started by removing the extra board and disconnecting all the CP wiring.
Questions:
Is there any inexpensive way to connect the CPS2 board for testing with out having to buy extra hardware like the Supergun I've read about?
Is documentation available that has the original wiring and connector types for this cabinet? I was hoping to use the existing connectors if possible.
Should I just say screw it, and thrown in a LCD and PC, and call it a day?
