So, yes! I have a Journey cocktail in my garage. Quite lucky. It is in pretty good shape but right now there is no image on the screen. Here are the details so far:
1.) Initially the buyer got the game home and it fired up. It was working but there was no sound. He said he turned the game off, adjusted the volume knob, turned it back on and nothing.
2.) Currently everything powers up but there is no image. The monitor has static. At first I thought that I saw no neck glow, but it looks to be there, just faint. The screen does have static.
3.) I know very little about this game. It is very original.
my first instinct is to recap and refly the chassis. I don't know anything about checking voltages on the power board, as I don't know anything about them. The cassette unit is there, but without a tape.
What is my step one here? Pull the monitor and recap? Is there an area I should be testing first?
I have attached photos of the machine. In one photo I've pointed a red arrow at what I believe to be a degaussing unit, but it's basically free floating in the cab. Does this need to be attached to the tube somehow when all is said and done?
Also in the second picture there is a dial above the "credit button". What is this dial for?
Thanks for reading my novel.
