Has sound, but monitor has no picture. Is it just the monitor that might be fried? What's the cost on replacing something like that? I am also looking to upgrade it to 2004 or 2005. I know I need a new overlay, buttons, hard drive, and board.

I can pick this thing up for $100, but I want to know how much I will have to spend beyond that to get it working. Any help would be great, thanks!
 
Hard to say what wrong with a arcade machine but as a shot in the dark.
but I can see spending an extra 300 (100~150 for a monitor repair) (100~150 for a upgrade) (~100 for a CPO) to get the arcade machine. Now what you need to ask is.
What can you buy with 400 dollars? Can you buy a working machine for that much with upgrades you already want?
 
Thanks!

Thanks Alpha. I have been looking around on ebay and otherwise. There are no monitors, but I have found a few upgrade kits for $75-$150 as you mentioned. Most GT04/05 machines are going for 600+ and there are hardly any in our area.

I'll keep looking, but it might be as simple as a wire being loose :) That's why I need to go and check it out!
 
Most likely than likely not a loose wire. More likely blown diodes,high voltage transistor or a blown ic chip. Might need a recap kit. Might need a fly back.

and of course a fuse..
 
That sounds like a lot. Either way for $100 it's worth a look!
 
I don't think a 2K can be upgraded to a 2004 or 2005 (I'm not 100% sure....so if this is your plan, find out first). I (thought) 2004/2005 were a totally different motherboard from a 2K. Now, if by "upgrade" you meant......gut the entire cabinet except for the wiring harness and install 2004 or 2005 stuff......well then, yeah......any Golden Tee is "upgradable" at thet point;).

Thanks Edward. That's the plan. Basically replace the mobo, controls, HD, etc. They have kits on ebay as low as $100 for everything. Then at that point you need a new overlay, extra buttons, etc.
