Hey guys,
So I picked up my first cab last week. It's a DK cab that I _believe_ was originally a Popeye cab. Back instruction sheet is for Popeye. Anyway, I spent some time giving it some love, and other than the fact that it's completely missing the sound board, it appears to be in good shape.
However! When I started playing it, it went weird on me.
After being on for a bit, it started getting weird. First, I started getting some weird artifacting... random pieces of girder where it shouldn't be and things like that... and then the second board started being weird every time. The flames would stop moving, wouldn't change color when I got the hammer, et cetera. At this point, whenever I beat the second board, DK falls and instead of loading the third board, it resets. High scores wiped and everything fresh as a daisy.
To me, it sounds like an issue with the PCB, but I really don't have any experience here. Since it's missing the sound board and I've had no real luck locating _just_ a sound board, I was planning on replacing it anyway, but I'd like some opinions on whether or not replacing the game PCB will fix this.
Thanks guys.
