Yep, that's my cab. Someone in the past painted over part of the TAITO side art, but it's an original. It's got a 19" monitor it it. I'll be swapping it with a Sony 24" WEGA when I covert it.

DigiKey had my fuse holder for $3. I needed some driver transistors for an LCD monitor I'm working on, so I didn't even really need to worry about shipping.

I'll get some pics up tonight.

Why so sad, Cheffo?

Here's a few pics of the cab:

The cab. Here you can see where someone painted black over the TAITO sideart. I may repaint it to it's original colors, should I decide to keep it as a DD.

Monitor

Serial No

The PCB. I think something needs attention, based on my last pic:

Here's what I get when I turn it on. Each power cycle produces a different scatter of polygons. Can anyone guide me on where I should start troubleshooting this board? At first I was going to restore the board and pull it, but after seeing how nice the monitor looks (nearly ZERO burn in) I'm thinking of sprucing this cab up and leaving it alone.

It's not a cab that would end up in my collection ... I sold the DD I had long ago as it has little replay value.

But, the dedicated cab is rare, so it is sad to see one go.
