Hi everyone, crazy first post coming here:
I recently purchased two SCUD RACE DX machines. I believe these machines were sitting outside, probably tarped, for at least a year. Cosmetically they look great, but I'm having some hardware issues. SEGA's manual(s) are a great place to start, but we all know how well the more "technical" side of things are covered
If I can get both of these games working, they will run linked with my four SCUD RACE twins, exclusively for MAGFest, probably forever.
I'm trying to get some help from anyone who has ever owned or maintained one of these units. From what I've heard, they are similar to the Daytona DX machines, but there are vast differences between them.
The unit I'm currently having trouble with looks like most of the problem is in the Mitsubishi projector board. The projector won't fire up. The guns don't fire up, although you hear an initial "click" when power is provided to it. What in the hell do I do with this? I'm comfortable enough to cap K7000s, but this thing is among the scariest of monitor chassis...
I've got one of the units working fully. I am, however, extremely concerned by all the different boards and connections in both the TV side and the seat side. Is there anything that I should check, polish up, apply some WD-40 to, etc?
There is very little documentation on these units, so I'm asking for any help possible. If anyone has any helpful tips other than "oh god throw these out", please let me know!
