I just got me a new little haul today from a craigslist ad. Guy was selling a Virtual Fighter cabinet that was fairly well intact besides a few adjustments and cracks filled in for security from probably tampering. No water damage, the game works fine from what I'm told, and the only problem is the monitor. Only a $100! (I'll post pictures when i get those transferred from my father's camera......)
It's a 25" WG K7501, a medium resolution board i would suppose as this game is a medium resolution game. (I ID'd it by locating the small board that rests above and near the flyback). He said that it was sparking or popping in a very serious manner so he just cut off the power cables and left it off. (He's confirmed to me that he had worked on this stuff before, but there isn't much demand for it now and he's older). I have yet to confirm where the damage or uhmmm well problem is, but I took time to notice the flyback has white knobs...............oye! Anyways, I unloaded it out of the cabinet before shoving everything else in storage and brought this baby home to do some repairs/testing. (Definitely going to need help on this one roflmao). Sadly once I had gotten the monitor protection glass off I noticed some slight burn in on this Zenith tube (A63ADG25X). You can see the game over text in the middle slightly, and a little bit of the health bars in the top half.
On a second note, the man was nice enough to give me a free 25" tube with metal frame, no chassis but I figure that won't be hard to fill. The Metal frame was marked with a Sharp Image sticker on the back. They have some awkward aquadag clip on the side instead of a bare threaded wire strapped along the back. The tube's manufacturer sticker has been torn off beyond reading, but I was able to locate the tube type sticker under the metal framing. It's a A63ADT10X if I read that correctly.....had to get a flash light to get under that metal framing......
First on the to do list is to get the one with the chassis working. Which at this time I'd think it would be best to replace the flyback first. Then maybe a cap kit, and If any of ya'll could run me the numbers and components I should test first I would greatly appreciate that! They really are quite nice looking besides a bit of dust and dirt, no scratches, but like I said the WG has a slight burn in.
I'll get pictures up when I get my camera back. I set on this adventure thinking I would need my camera, so I charged it the night before. And when I set out the next day, I forgot the battery on the charger. So.....i borrowed my Dad's camera, but it uses a proprietary USB connector that....well I don't have on me........and NOW I left my camera at my folks place............................................................................................................
