i am trying to compile a list of all typical symptoms into a pacman-esque style log to help resolve faults with some pcbs. to repair i have:
- a taito three layer set
- baz's artic galaxy wars set. Refer to my related post here:
http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showpost.php?p=1615919&postcount=1
and will hopefully soon have to repair a couple of taito si and lunar rescue sets 3 layer sets

can anyone point me to threads on KLOV or out in the wild that contain screen snapshots of typical or unusual faults ?

i'll collate all found links/threads/pics found here.

thanks mark
the total absence of sound was fixed by replacing the fuses but i'm
still missing the missle shot sound.
picked up 2 LM3900s on ebay last nght so i'll see if that fixes it.
