Man, it's been a while. Picked up a needs work Taito Classics bartop for $150. No sound, minimal controls worked, and player 2 was complety dead. Front is faded, but the crt and inside are great. Couple of micro switches, a new ground connector, some crt adjustments, and turning the volume up later and she plays great!

Alright, lay it on me. Who still has the HanaHo 20 game image?! SNKM Capcom?

Good to be back 🤣

Here's an old post by @mattosborn

This is the link to the image: http://tinyurl.com/GC-Taito20
Thank you!!! I'll have to pull the SD and see what we've got!

Edit: Just loaded up Matt's image. I like that it has the 10 in 1 style with images on the side. I don't think the capcom one was ever released, I'll have to see if I can find that one as well.

Thanks again!

Volume is controlled by pressing up/down on the 2P joystick, while on the game menu (if I remember correctly)
 
Always liked those cabinets. It would be really easy to slip a BitKit2 right in there, too!
I've been put of it for a bit. I'll have to check that out. I know I'd probably have to replace the jamma harness and upgrade the power supply because it doesn't have -5v.

It is! Once i resolved the player 2 controls not working, it was easy to turn the volume up!
 
I've been looking for a real Taito cab for a while so I can dump the original hanaho 20 in 1 cab. My kids love the games on the board, I just hate the cab.
 
Well, that was short lived! Monitor no longer kicks on :ROFLMAO:

Anyone have a flow chart for troubleshooting these? Looks like a few caps were replaced at some point and the chassis wasn't screwed down. Looks clean, can hear it turn on, but doesn't kick on and no neck glow from what i can see.

Well, false alarm I guess. Reseated the plugs and we are back in business! Tossed an Arpicade in there to give it a longer test.

I've never looked at the wiring of mine. Is it normal JAMMA?

What did they map the menu button to?
 
It's regular Jamma, but missing the 12v and -5v. The menu button is wired to the tilt button.

Luckily with the arpicade, I have a wireless keyboard for all the buttons not hooked up. Won't take much to put in buttons for whatever I want if I want to keep the arpicade in there.

It's still working through the Bubble Bobble Lost Caves attract mode.

Well, did some more cleaning up. Swapped led buttons, some matching sticks, etc. Some fresh decals from Vertex Decals on eBay.

Not a bad little setup. Still going to put a power supply in there so that I can power the LED buttons and probably an Arpicade. If the kids get bored of the 20 games.

did you have any issue getting the 20 game image to work? I remember I could get the 10 game, but had errors with the 20 game BITD.

Had no issues getting Matt's 20 game image to load. I couldn't find the original 20 game image, but I like the graphical menu better anyway.
