Had this working for about an hour today, then it quit again. I'm not messing with it anymore, selling it AS-IS, parts or whole.

Just picked this up yesterday, the power supply got toasty at BR1 (where the wires for the heat sink go to), and it also smoked the nearby F1 fuse & holder. I have repaired that, its not pretty, but it works. Game was working perfect for an hour, then quit. I think the PCB is bad. All voltages are reading correctly. I found cold solder joints on the filter PCB and reflowed all the header pins, but to no avail. I also tried reseating all chips. The game is getting power now but will not boot.

Artwork is ok. Minor flaking on the marquee and bezel. Monitor has some burn but has a good picture. Cabinet is in pretty good shape. Coin door has a free play switch installed. Original paperwork is intact and there is also a 100v jumper with it, not sure why. CP is in good shape.

At this point, make offers. Ill start pricing later on otherwise. I will not be selling the coin door or CP until I figure out what I'll do with the cabinet.

If anyone local wants it, thats cool, but I won't be giving it away. It's a nice Taito cabinet with a good working monitor, make offers accordingly.

Heres first patch of pics. Second batch coming right up...

That turned out to be pretty nice. It was a litte hard to tell at the auction yesterday with all of the dust. Good luck with the sale.

Oh yeah, dust is not included. I cleaned it up. My bidder number was written in all the dust this game had.

Picked it up since I didnt buy anything else, and it was a complete game with a glow on the monitor. Was kind of nice to get life out of it, while it lasted...
 
Are you parting it or planning to now install a switcher?

Free bump.

Looks like its getting parted. I'm pretty confident its a board issue, and theres lots of interest in parts so far. I'm thinking about what I can do with the cabinet, it is a nice one. Minor swelling on the base and top, thats about it. Nothing a new base wont fix.
 
Most parts are gone. Heres whats left:

Control Panel
Marquee Lamp Fixture
Transformer
Plastic Bezel
Stripped Cab
Monitor - Though I was planning on keeping that for a spare.

Anyone need anything else?
 
Looks like I have a buyer for the transformer.

Still have the CP, Marquee Fixture & Plastic Bezel. The coin bucket as well as the shelf for the coin bucket are also available.
 
Control Panel and Marquee lamp fixture are now sold.

That basically leaves the coin bucket and shelf, and the plastic bezel. I was planning on keeping the monitor but I will entertain offers on the Chassis and/or frame if anyone is in need. It's a WG4900 series, vertical frame.
 
Lets try this...

Coin bucket $25 shipped USA
Coin bucket holder (shelf) $25 shipped USA

Or take both for $35 shipped USA

Plastic bezel $25 shipped USA

Working WG4900 chassis $60 shipped USA

Vertical monitor frame $20 shipped USA (will only sell if the chassis sells)

Dont know if theres any interest in the serial plate, but its there. Same with the original speaker and casters. I'd also let the wood pieces that support the CP go if need be, but I'd like to keep the latches. I'm going to try and put this cab to use somehow.

Anyone else need anything?
