I bought a Galaxian a few years back and when I got it the monitor was dead and there was no life from the board. I was able to find a unknown condition board on ePay for 12 bucks so I figured what the hell. The board showed up and I plugged it in and it played blind. I was stoked but had no intention on getting the monitor fixed anytime soon so I tucked both boards away safe and sound.
Fast forward to the beginning of this year, Phetty boy started posting pictures of his Galaxian and made me jealous so I wanted to join in the fun. I had a brand new monitor for the Galaxian all boxed up so I built a new frame for the monitor and it fit safe and sound in the cabinet.
After I got the monitor in I pulled out the working board and plugged it in, and I hear is an annoying sound followed by a bleep, bleep, annoying sound, bleep, bleep, and on and on and on.
I decided to try the old board too and it is still lifeless. I have tried unplugging the CP, coin door, marquee, no change. I tried moving the test switch, no change. Voltages seem a little funky I believe they are supposed to be 12V and 5V, is it possible my transformer took a shit while it sat? I really hope this isn't the case because I just shipped my spare wiring harness and transformer assembly off to its new owner.
Anything I should rebuild or replace? I am aware that these are some of the most reliable boards outs there. If you fix these boards PM me your price, I would be willing to ship two complete boards in exchange for one working board....
