i'll be slowly trying restore/tune up where its been damaged or neglected.
i posted the video to get feedback on initial start up and the problems it has.
no led player credit indicators. slot 2 won't read game or as in the video, picture and sound makes it unplayable. slot 1 works but picture is dim and tinted with distortion at top and bottom of screen.

The monitor being dim...
Remove the black glass, and see if its still dim. It may need a simple adjustment from the flyback knob in the back and a good cleaning. Clean both the glass and tube.

Buy fast dry electrical contact cleaner.
You'll need to spray the both slots on the pcb board. Make sure to clean the cartridges too. Cleaning the Dirty contacts in the game cartridge with q-tips can go a long way.

Welcome to the addiction

For the numeric displays not working, not being a wise ass, but are they plugged in? I had the same thing when I got my 2-slot and it turns out they were just unplugged.
 
Neilhdz- Thanks man, I will get to work on all of that!
parkway- i'm glad you mentioned it, i'll check to see if they are unplugged!

Just be careful plugging things into these boards. Pins are generally thin and bend easy. Don't force anything and make sure you can see what you're doing when you're plugging the connector in/checking on said connector.
 
the fun has only just begun
