i just got my hands on another mc cocktail yesterday (its now friday here in uk) it has a non working gameboard and a nonworking monitor.think the flyback has gone on the monitor chassis (?)
anyways i already had 2 mc cocktails i bought in 1 go,got 1 worker out of them with the purchase of working board from seller here from usa.i did the usual recap everything.
well i was left with 1 cocktail that had a winded transformer prob,no power coming from the winding,saw a cocktail for spares/repairs on ebay.co.uk and bought it for the parts,thats the one i got yesterday.
it had a perfect ar2 in it,power was going to the board as the led lights up but,the monitor was showing nothing,like i said.
on the rear of the ar2 was something that looked like corrosion but,it was not green i would say more like limescale (where the foam backing is) though.it was also on the rear of the gameboard.i had to use fibre glass pen to remove it and scrape with a hobby knife blade.
i am just slowly building a working cocktail from the 2 spare/repairs i got,i actualy done quite a bit of work so far.
but,now i actualy have 1 working ar2 in a working cocktail i have running in my living room,and 2 working ar2s in my workshop/room.the boards are scarce here in united kingdom also but,i happen to have 3 now.
sorry for rabbling on.
i might post a pic of the cocktail i am currently working on when i get round to snapping pics of it.
