So, I got a Joust finally in 2007. All working great. Bring it down to the basement and no sound. Sounds cycle in test, but don't work in game.
Rebuilt the sound board w/ Bob's cap kit.
Rebuilt the PS, no go.
Replaced all headers and molex connectors. A little overkill, I know. No sound still.
Lithium battery kit (nothing to do w/ sound, but wanted full disclosure here)
So, it goes on the back burner while I'm finishing the gameroom. I pulled it out tonight to see what else I could try. Fire it up and the sound works great for about 4 waves of a game. Goes out. I jump behind the game, flex the sound board and get sound back. Got a couple more waves in and it goes out again. Am I looking at cold solder here? I looked it over real good and see that the chip labeled TC4069UBP has corroded legs. Not sure what it's function is.
So, there it is, HELP please.
I eventually plan to use a JROK in the cab while keeping all original hardware and wiring inside for easy reversal. I want to get it working reliably before that though.
Thanks in advance.
Robert
