Hello KLOVers. As many of you may know, I have been in the process of restoring a Neo-Geo cab. Well to make a longs story short, all issues have been resolved except for audio.
I have two MV4F boards that both had the same issue. Low volume. Both boards have been plugged into JAMMA harasses by their previous owner and so the audio amps were blown. When plugged into my cab, either board would have low right audio and zero left audio.
I bought a cap kit for both and installed it on one of the boards. I plugged in just the EDGE connector and the game came up loud and clear. I plugged in all the harnesses and I got only a hiss for audio. I turned it off and unplugged the headphone connector. That got the audio back. I'll worry about the headphone jacks later. Now my issue is The volume is loud and crisp but only out of the right speaker. I tested the left speaker and it's blown so I disconnected it, however, the wires to the left speaker only produce low volume when connected to the right speaker.
Did I blow the left channel again by having the game connected to a dead speaker? Can I replace just a few caps to fix that without doing the cap kit all over again? What gives?
