Hello, could somebody with knowledge of MCR arcade sets please tell me why my tilt function no longer works with my recently replaced MCR power adapter switcher. The game makes the tilting noise, but never resets the system, just keeps making the noise, or after exiting setup mode, also doesn't reset. The game operates normally other than this.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with me not using the big metal hunk in the bottom of the machine, because mine fried when I took my Spy Hunter to the UK with me and it didn't like the 50Hz power over here. Anyway, as far as I can tell the metal hunk provides an unregulated 12VAC (converted to DC by the new board) source to the sound amplifiers, but that's it. I can't tell from the schematics if it goes anywhere else, but I have tried the 12VDC output from the switcher into the new board where the hunk would plug into, but maybe it's not enough juice. I hope that I can resolve this without having to repair or purchase another metal hunk, because my new monitor does not even require the isolation transformer that the hunk also provides.
