I picked up an old Spy Hunter cab under the impression that the only thing it would be good for was breaking down for parts. I need the control panel and pedal for a MAME cabinet.
Upon closer inspection it looks like I have no real choice but to restore it instead. The nails and staples have pulled out but the wood seems to be sound except for a banged up back corner.
So to the questions now.. When the corners separated the PCB stack fell over onto the power supply and a few easily replaced components were damaged. A DIP switch package and a couple of resistor networks. No biggie there.
What I've also discovered is that a bank of caps and another resistor network seem to have been simply cut off.
This photo I found online shows the affected section. The RM3 resistor and the entire row of caps labeled C104-C111 to the right of it are missing.
The reason I ask about these is that about half the pics I find online have these missing while the rest are intact like the linked pic. Do I need to replace the missing pieces or were they removed to disable a damaged section of the circuit?
This also means I'm still in the market for a control panel and pedal if anyone has one collecting dust.
Thanks!
