Hello,
This is my first post on KLOV. I am attempting to restore a Sega turbo and feeling a bit out of my depth on this one. I only own three other machines, PAC MAN, Galaxian and a 60 in 1 (wish I would have just built a MAME machine) this game is completely different and I'm not sure where to begin(100 volt monitor...que????) I purchased the game today as the price was right and my son has been asking me to get a racing cab. This cab is the most filthy cab I've ever seen in my life! It's completely caked in mud and had several rats nests in it and still has lots of droppings in the bottom on the audio amp and power supply and transformer. I've already gotten as much as I can with the shop vac and leaf blower, but it's really on there. I'm not sure how to best clean that as I really feel I need to sterilize it but how to clean that off of electrical components I'm not so sure. I'm thinking perhaps isopropyl alcohol as it will evaporate quickly and I've doused lots of electronics in it without issue in the past. How do people usually handle this? Other than being filthy and a potental harbinger of the plague (damn I hope I don't get that working on this thing) it actually kinda works! It has 3 main issues that I can spot. Issue #1 the monitor is dim (could be the mud caked on it) and seems to be missing the green completely. Issue#2 the big sub woofer is rotten. Issue#3 steering. No matter which direction I steer it only moves right, so it's stuck in this weird anti NASCAR mode at the moment. I'd like to begin obviously by cleaning the crap out of it... the literal crap out of it... however I have no idea how to disassemble the thing. I'm not sure how to get the back glass off or the steering wheel off or the control panel. Any help with that would be very much appreciated. So far today, I've done some cleaning to it, found a replacement woofer online, and found all the manuals online. I hope that I can manage this restore, I'm good with cabinet work but the electronics not so much.
