Looking at the above image, it appears to be more that the monitor is super bright rather than there be a PCB issue with missing colors...

Do you agree or disagree?

I'm considering a purchase but I want to make sure the PCB is working correctly... it's claimed to be 100% working.
 
This isn't a game I have in hand... its an image posted demonstrating the game as "working"...

There is one more shot...here it is:

Can't be 100% sure, but it looks to me to be a monitor issue/adjustment.
 
To be clear... I'd only be buying the PCB (and misc parts)... not the cab or the monitor. I just wanted to make sure the PCB was working before I bought it.

:)
 
Appears to be missing green, like Komodo said. I'd guess monitor issue, though I don't think you can say for sure. My original Golden Tee board had a burnt motherboard trace at the JAMMA connector that cut out the blue.

You can see it right near the center in pic.

The best way to adjust a monitor is t put a game into test and get color bars. That will tell you what colors you are mssing.
 
Looks like a monitor with too much red saturation. I see R G & B in those images. My vote is get the PCB.
 
If it's a local purchase, you could always bring along a spare JAMMA board and test your theory. If the color results are the same you'll instantly know it was the monitor.

Also, if it's a remote purchase, you could always ask the seller to switch the game out with another jamma board and take pics to verify the same...

Just a thought :)

Out Run is not JAMMA. Like stated above, looks like to much red to me.
 
I pulled the trigger. The seller guarantees the PCB works 100% and that the image is a bad photo/crappy monitor adjustment.

It sucks that I actually paid $15 more for an Outrun PCB + Marquee (and a few extras in the "kit" like the power supply, shaker PCB, manual and beat up metal "plate" for the monitor shroud area than I did for the entire Turbo Outrun cabinet + game...

But it is what it is.

:D
 
Sounds like all you need now is the steering wheel emblem. If I remember the pic of the cab you got, it had some solid color one?

Just a blank right now. My cheap ass will likely print one out on photopaper and slap it on. It's obscene... the cost of one of these...
 
Photopaper through a laser printer was also good enough for my humble arcade
 
...just plugged her in. It was a monitor issue. The game looks great (minus the Turbo Outrun burn!)...
