well its about dang time lol.. a champ sprint and lethal enforcers popped up on craigslist. "non working no cords???"
so i get there, games are ok, better than i expected. did a quick peek to make sure boards were there, champ sprint even came with a spare top board.
so i pay the guy, we haul em to the truck.. get em home, open up champ sprint.. OH theres the power cord laying in the bottom of the cab LOL...
so i put it back where it goes and fire it up.. raster but no pic no boot. wiggle connectors, when i wiggle the power connector on the bottom board, trumpet type sounds?? no effing way! the damn thing works!!! med res 4900???? series monitor and all!!(and syncing!!) must be cold solder or somthing on the pcbs i will dig into that later.
lethal enforcers has 2 power cords laying in the bottom, theyre pc type lol.. so much for no cords on these machines.
A switcher is hacked onto the wiring off of the original power supply.. totally dead no monitor no marquee no pcbs lit up nothing no power..
they are using the old switchers "back switch" ac input/output wires to power the new switcher and the rest of the cab as well.... so im willing to bet ive got no ac out of the old switcher or lets hope so. the "new" switcher shows a tag with "replaced qxxx qxxx cxxx cxxx cxxx cxxx cxxx cxxx 10/95" LOL so its a hacked(1) hacked(2) dead power setup..
