Why do some games have to just be so f'ing evil. I have given this game everything i've got and it just laughs at me. I'm about to give it a nice kerosene massage.
 
Dude, it's like we've all been affectionately warning you, use it as a template or find another converted cab and just swap everything salvagable over. I admire you ambition but being left face down in the grass out in the elements for over a decade simply is too much to ask of anything electronic, it's too far gone and you can't bring it back.

I wish you were closer because I'd volunteer to help you bring it back from the dead, remember that wood routers ARE YOU FRIEND! Or just rescue a converted cab!
 
is the deets in your other thread? you'd be surprised but occasionally they come up for sale (tho they're heavy as hell to ship). I replaced the power cord and the 15pin connector from the iso to the original power supply on my robotron, worst part was the power cord as my hakko 926 was just enough to do the job (gotta invest in a soldering gun that reminds me).
 
There's a point where the wood cabinet just isn't worth saving, due to rot, insects, mold, nastiness. Have to decide if it's past that point. Personally, I'd use the parts, but not the cabinet.
 
I had the game working it just had some vid issues and it went to crap from there. If i can get the power sorted out i will be happy. I love the blasted aged cabinet exterior.
 
FIX IT MAN! That moon patrol gives people hope that their cab can be fixed. You can't kill it
 
Put a switcher in. Moon Patrols don't care. You can buy a new ISO transformer from twisted quarter and a new line filter. Make a new power brick for it. Then close the back and enjoy playing the game.

FWIW....I have a black ISO that came out of a Moon Patrol. Im assuming its original to the game. Could you use it?
. I may take you up on that!

Thx Ken i remem you saying that but at the time it was being recommended by many to rebuild the linear so thats why i went that path.

I have never built a power brick so i will try i guess.
