Surprise ! Pole Position problems,steering off,starts blind at times,no coin light
Hey guys ! Hope all is well. I have a situation with my PP 2 Cockpit, I just recently restored it,everything works fine,but as usual with this awesome classic,problems are always around. I have a few problems. First one, once in a while the monitor takes a little while to come on,its like its "Blind" for a bit,then it comes on,and its ok for hours. I did notice this,when I moved the machine while it was on,and it ended up going blind. Maybe I shouldn't of moved it while it was on ? I didn't do anything to the electronics,since I just lost my job. But I just order two big blues and 2 fuse holders from Bob,I'll start with that,because the problem seems intermediate.All connections are tight and looks ok..Second problem,my steering wheel is a little off, I was wondering if there is a way to calibrate it.I included some pics to describe the problem. The third problem is,the coin entry light doesn't light up,there are some wires off the coin door,I think that's the problem,I tried new light bulbs as well,but no luck.And the last problem 1 out of the four speakers is not working. The one under the monitor, I did test it with a new speaker,and I get the same result. I was thinking to splice the other speaker wire together, can I do that ? Also, I was wondering where is the battery that store the scores,looks like mine doesn't store anything ?
Thanks in advance
And here is my thread when I got the game-
