Today I picked up a VERY nice condition Space Duel from CL. It is in just about mint condition considering its age. The side art is flawless. The only blemishes are a few nicks on the t-molding, some chipping on top near the back of the cab and some cracking to the CP laminate. The inside is clean as well and apart from some dust looks right out of the factory. The game however does not work and I bought it knowing this. It doesn't play blind or do anything but hum from the speakers. There is a glow on the neck of the tube and there are red LEDs glowing on the main pcb and on the monitor chassis. I haven't really had a chance to check voltages yet as I had to leave it in my dads shop until the weekend.
Where is a good place to start looking? This is only my 3rd cab and first non working. I picked it up mainly because it is a favorite of mine and one of my favorite cabs ever from an artwork perspective. For $100 I thought it was worth it even not working. I would like to find out if the monitor is any good or not. It has a lot of burn in, but I don't know how much that affects vector monitors.
The family I bought it from got it for a song at an auction not working thinking it would be an easy fix....... They figured out they were in over their heads when they opened it up and saw the giant pcb
Oh and it's serial number is 00039 fwiw.
The first 3 posts will have 1 picture each as I can only do one per post on my iPad :-/
