I was actually wanting to upgrade my crappie cell phone, but went into the laundro-mat next door to the cell phone place instead. Luckily I did, There was a dedicated Circus Charlie just sitting there, off and dead. (Kind of strange to me to find THAT cab in North Platte Nebraska) I went over tried to turn it on, got monitor hum but nothing else..... Well, time to contact the owner. I found his number, called him up, he said that it didn't work but I told him I was still interested. He met me there that night. I offered him $100. He was happy with that. We loaded it into my truck. Got her home, trouble shot for a while and found out the switching power supply was bad. Replaced it and now it's good to go. Needs a cap kit, as this Hantarex MTC900E monitor has not been touched since birth.
I felt it was worth a hundred bucks. It could have been worse, but with that monitor hum(powering on/working), I figured it was worth at least that.
I need to repaint and hopefully find some repo control panel art that I can replace the current one with(old and peeling bad).
Any tricks/problems I should know about these Hanatrex MTC900E monitors?
Also this was Cabinet #1100, the picture flash kind of bleeds it out.
Anyway, I'm happy. My kids love the game also, it's kind of hard but fun. I've been playing it most of the night, since I got it fixed. Which all this proves that it pays NOT to upgrade your cell phone and visit a laundry mat instead. You never know what may be lurking.
Here's some pics. Sorry if they are low quality. I'll try to take better ones in the day time.
