Howdy. I just got a Joust arcade and I'd like to get it going.
Currently the video is scrambled and there's no sound. It looks like the game boots up because I can make out the play field and the little demo it plays when the arcade is idle. Those diagonal lines aren't scanning up or down, it's static.
So I think the main board is OK, but something else is screwy. I don't know if it's the analog board, main Joust video board, or the CRT itself or what. Attached is a picture of what's going on.
I think once I get the picture worked out, I can fiddle with the rest of the arcade and get it going.
Any suggestions where I should start? I just replaced all the fuses. One of them was blown.
