Guys,
I have a super GT deluxe in my arcade - the one that kind of rocks back and forth left/right as you go around turns to make it feel (supposedly) like you're racing. It worked fine for 10 years, then all of a sudden it doesn't seem to work right in game mode.
I've replaced the steering pot, and I've recalibrated the settings for center on the steering and the angle of the cabinet. Both pots seem to be working just fine and accurately. The motor seems to work perfectly in test mode - it will roll right or left if you tell it to in the test mode. So in test, everything appears to be functioning perfectly.
But in game mode, as soon as you start the game, the cabinet turns all the way to the right and just kind of holds in that position. If you push and try to force it out of that position, it will sometimes pivot all the way over and stay to the left. But seems to avoid the center position. This is the opposite of the way the game seems to operate when working properly. It normally sits mostly in the middle, but pivots left and right when needed.
Any idea what could have gone wrong or where I should look?
Thanks,
John
