Thanks for the info, Bill!

Here's what I tried/know works at this point:
- The start button works, as I can get it in test mode.
- The coin mechs will flip the coin counter when trigger.
- Per the manual, I ohmed out the coin mechs; they tested fine.
- I checked continuity from the small molex that passes into the soundboard (which is all the control panel/coin inputs) into the ccpu via the small ribbon cable. Everything is getting to the ccpu.

So, my assumption at this point is it's either a faulty A4 or F2 like the manual suggests. I'm fairly sure it's not the coin mechs or wiring, given everything seems to have tested fine around those. Also, it's not coining up and showing the game time, it just stays on the attract screen. Hopefully it's nothing horrible to fix, just gotta nail down where it's going wrong.

Looks sharp! I guess I better get that art wrapped up!

Thanks, it's getting there! Definitely better than the old cab that would fall apart when I moved it, lol. It'd be great to have the art, but again, no rush. I know you're busy and working on it, so when it's done, it's done.

Finally got the game coining up and playing last night. There was a bad 74LS00 on the coin input circuit. Replaced and working fine! Now just to button up the last couple items and get the side art back soon; and it'll be finished! At least it's FINALLY playing!!

Looks good! You may need to cut a new paper bezel though ;-)

It's on the list for to-dos, lol. I'm debating not even adding it. When Mark made a new cabinet, the wood behind the bezel is black; so it's not "really" needed. Either way, if I have to make a new one it's simple enough.
