Just picked up a Spy Hunter! Grail for me since I was a kid! So I am happy to finally have one, but there are a few issues.
The G07 needs love, but that's no problem. The lights didn't work, but replacing R19 on the light board fixed that. Now the only issues I can see I'm having are no sound effects, and a video glitch. There is the PG theme music, but no effects such as coin up, guns, etc... I pulled the board set and pulled chips cleaned and remounted. I think I made it worse by putting one video chip in backwards like an idiot. I turned it on and saw right away something was wrong because all the vehicles were white rectangles. I pulled the set, flipped the chip and it works now, but there are red horizontal lines through the 'sprites' (not sure if I'm using that terminology right). Did I fry the chip?? I hope not.. I hate making problems worse... I noticed the ribbon cables are the solid core ones, I hear they cause a lot of problems too.
Could it be the pot for the sound? I wonder if I could put a speaker on the back side to see if there is signal there?
Here's a clip of the video error and lack of sound: http://youtu.be/zgtRhf15s2I
Any help is great!
