Hello,
I recently acquired a Midway Strike Force conversion cab. I am guessing it's been in someone's home, since the cab itself is in good condition and the game is set to free play.
The board powers on and can be played blindly, but of course, no video. The monitor doesn't crackle, and the heater filament doesn't glow. If I unplug the board from the jamma harness and dc power supply, the monitor appears to fire up, it crackles, the heater filament glows and there is static on the tube.
I have checked incoming AC power to the filter and all fuses with a fuse checker.
Is this some power/circuit issue, or is something tripping some sort of failsafe turnoff on the monitor when the pcb and monitor are both powered on?
Thanks for any help.
