First Timers Restoration of Neo Geo Single Slot
fullmetalchicken:
so after a busy week I finished replacing all the buttons, shined the CP, tried to get the t-moulding just right and joy sticks, followed by more polishing and t-moulding banging.
and now on with the electrics i followed the 1 player button all the way back to the Jamma and found
and i have not been around long enough to know what this is I imagine that arcades put them in to make switching games and consoles easier.
so i will be checking if there is a problem with this thing this weekend then hoping to put in my last orders for goods this weekend.
my current list
150 in 1 mvs cart
matching locks for front and back
LED replacements for the marquee as i burnt out my most resent purchase of an LED replacement light (an electrician i'm not)
replacement coin return button
and a Jamma wire extractor tool
I'm hoping to find all this in one store
any help with the thing in my cab or a shop where i can get all these in one shot would be appreciated.

Hey Fullmetalchicken,
Welcome to the forums. That thing, though it's not a regular Neo Geo cabinet, looks pretty slick in Neo Geo red with the sideart.
You may just be able to unscrew that marquee light and slap in an Led bar or see what kind of bulbs go in whats there and look up replacement leds for those bulbs (may be expensive that way)
Many times when one button doesn't work, it may very well be the microswitch in that button that is bad.
Heres a list of a couple vendors that I find are great for ordering stuff through

plus there are a bunch others

Thanks MGB parts now ordered I couldn't find the LED bulbs but i did find the regular ones will have to make due for now.
Progress on the 1 player button.
I replaced the button and the switch still no go
Using a multi-meter I did the beep test
from the button to the first molex. No Beep
did a temporary patch using some copper wire i had lying around from an old electrical patch job in the house.
from the button to the first molex. Beep
from the mystery board to the button Beep
From the JAMMA to the button No Beep
from the JAMMA to the mystery board Beep
one side of the board to the other Beep
Will test with the power on in a few places again if I can't figure it out I'm going to pull the wire our of the JAMMA and rewire the whole button

That mystery board must be a neo geo to jamma conversion board of some sort.
Because from what I know, the mvs boards are not quite the same as jamma.
here is a good site for Neo Geo info

Yah MVS multi and MVS single are two different wiring beasts the multi is a MVS harness and it seems that all singles are Jamma.
