I got a message Friday evening from a distant friend who lives nearby on Facebook asking me if I was still into arcades and if I was interested in this for $100 before he posted it on market place...

To which I had said definitely! I had never seen a Bump N' Jump in person myself before, only in photos so I was pretty excited about this one. I ended up getting it for $50 and traded him a few other small non-arcade related stuff that I no longer needed for it (the guy runs a pawn shop).

He told me that he plugged it in and nothing happened and he hadn't tried anything else after. While we were loading it up I noticed this on the K4600 and gave a little chuckle...1000024736.jpg
At the time I thought "someone got tired of soldering in fuses lol" turns out it was probably the main fault.

When I got it unloaded and started probing around I found the main 3A slowblo was blown, so I replaced it and unplugged the board set from the power supply to test the voltages going to the board before fully turning it on for the first time. When I turned it on while the board was unplugged the main 3A fuse blew again after a few seconds, which at least told me it wasn't a short on the board set... then I remembered the fuse holder on the K4600 after dusting off the fuse it turns out it was a slowblo instead of a standard fast blow 3A. So I just unplugged it and plugged in a spare monitor and was pleased to see that she was actually alive lol.1000024732.jpg1000024733.jpg
I have 2 spare K4600s built and ready, I'll try replacing the chassis tomorrow and see if i can play a few rounds.
