Hi all,

I recently was lucky to snag a Golden Tee 2K Arcade cabinet for free. However, its currently not working and would love to get it working. There is currently no sound or display.

  • I can confirm the display does turn on (high frequency is present as well as static electricity on the screen.
  • I verified voltages ~5.1 v and ~12.2 v are present on the connector.
  • The dip switches are correct. DSw1, closest to connector all 4 are 'on'. DSw2, near the video status LED 1&2 are 'on', 3&4 are 'off'.
  • I re-seated ALL socketed chips, including the GT97 and GT99 chips. Before putting them back in I cleaned sockets with Isopropyl Alcohol.
  • I replaced the battery, only had a 2032 on hand, so I used that.
  • The video status LED blinks every ~2sec.
  • The sound status LED is not on. If I press on a chip, it does turn on briefly, but there is also a click noise that occurs every time it blinks, which sounds like its coming from the coin or bill mechs.
  • I also noticed if I touch the case of the power supply, there is a slight feeling of voltage leaking. Bad PSU or ground?
This is my first arcade machine so I don't really have anything on hand to test the monitor or the board separately. I've also done my best to search before posting.

I am not afraid of soldering and do have a digital multi-meter on hand.

Thanks in advance everyone!
