I wasn't sure what you meant, and then I thought, "Oh, right. I gotcha, man."

Really? Nothing for this one?

Groan!!! I used to watch BotP as kid on Saturday mornings back in the very early eighties in the UK, never knew it by another name.

When I saw Vampy dressed as Princess I virtually jumped across three booths to go get her attention. Some little guy in some other outfit was trying to make conversation with her but I totally slid in on wheels and cock-blocked the dude (sorry bro, but I got this). She was very sweet and hot as hell, good times!!!!

If you don't know who she is... https://www.facebook.com/pages/VAMPY-BIT-ME/370120112710

You shouldn't block the cock, that just isn't cool man. If I were that dude, I would have smacked you in the TopJimmyCooks.

Of course, you were saving a hapless nerd from needless embarrassment, that might just qualify as a mercy cock-block. In that case, well played.

Training the CP overlay

Measured the marquee and its barely high enough to cover the opening so I'm going to have to get creative to get it to sit in the channels of the retainers.

Creative seems to be your middle name, so it shouldn't be too hard

Maximus · « **Reply #50 on:** July 20, 2013, 01:28:08 pm »

Thanks DrNick I think the hobby forces you into creativity for sure.

Cut a clear piece same size as the old marquee.

Stuck the shallow one to that

Its been hacked off way short so I either need to find a way to mask the bottom with black trim or find a replacement

harveybirdman · « **Reply #51 on:** July 20, 2013, 04:12:32 pm »

removed for stating the obvious...

what if you trimmed the marquee area with the yellow T molding?

Ikari Warriors was a great game!

Maximus · « **Reply #53 on:** July 20, 2013, 08:39:58 pm »

It still is.

Finally got the handles off the sticks. Thats a ---smurfette--- of a job unless you know exactly how to do it.

You can see both sticks have had a severe slamming at one point and shafts were bent

mcseforsale · « **Reply #54 on:** July 20, 2013, 09:49:22 pm »

If yer gonna tap them back straight, use a brass hammer and make sure the bolts are in place if the shafts are hollow. That should be good enough. I wouldn't use heat on those since they're probably heat treated anyway. Just go slow.

Awesome build.

New CP overlay on,looking pretty cool

The control panel pattern doesn't match up perfectly with the overlay but it will do well enough for this project. I'm just trying to bang out a solid '6ft' cab that will play well and look good in the lineup

Maximus · « **Reply #56 on:** July 20, 2013, 11:03:20 pm »

Jamma converter from Bob Roberts arrived

An hour in 50/50 simple green and hot water the buttons and joystick tops look like new

Maximus · « **Reply #57 on:** July 20, 2013, 11:07:42 pm »

Made a mistake on the CP cutting the polycarb in the wrong holes for the player 1 and 2 buttons. Should be higher.

I know it doesn't really make that big of a deal especially as the player buttons aren't ever going to match properly on this CP anyway but I just hate making mistakes that dumb

Maximus · « **Reply #58 on:** July 20, 2013, 11:26:01 pm »

Straightened out the sticks with some good old brute force

Maximus · « **Reply #59 on:** July 21, 2013, 12:26:16 am »

Despite the glitches its still coming together pretty nicely

emphatic · « **Reply #60 on:** July 21, 2013, 07:55:33 am »

That is sexy. Great clean up job with the joystick tops. Shame they went with angled controls when they constructed this thing though, but maybe it doesn't play as awkward as it looks?

Maximus · « **Reply #61 on:** July 21, 2013, 04:38:27 pm »

Yeah the joysticks are square to the screen just the buttons angle for left or right handed play.

Both boards testing good.

Maximus · « **Reply #62 on:** July 21, 2013, 07:20:25 pm »

'Decent progress today.

Monitor running bright and crisp
Both games working separately.
CP fully wired all buttons and directional movement working.
Heavy barrel sound works
Marquee lighting works

Had the rotation harnesses in backwards which stumped me for a while. Flipped them around and the sticks work great.

Still broken.
No sound on ikari warriors. I bought the pcb as tested and working so I will have to contact the seller.

Maximus · « **Reply #63 on:** July 22, 2013, 12:18:59 am »

Looks like the sound may be related to the -5v line. I bought the board from Ron at Lyons Arcade and he was super speedy and helpful with my questions.

On his advice I checked the -5v and saw the line was completely cut on the Jamma plug nothing to the output on the psu.

We will see how it does once I have that fixed

I suggest hooking up that cut -5V line. Oh wait, Derp.

And please stop using my handle as a euphemism for your "yotsuya". Thanks - the management.

Maximus · « **Reply #66 on:** July 22, 2013, 09:36:08 am »

Lol. Woke up with an itchy Yotsuya this morning.

Sound fixed. Hooked up the -5v line and it worked. Yay!

Pop fizz oopsie!!! Went the Heavy Barrel board this morning. I had it all upside down and back to front just trying to test it with the rotary harnesses now that I had them working in Ikari. Popped the Jamma plug in the wrong way

The board still plays (which is a miracle) but the player 1 grenade button no longer fires (Of course player 2 is fine, it had to be player 1

). I'll continue to include it in the project for now as I have already bought the Jamma switcher, but I'll have to revisit that in the future.

Happens to us all I guess

The pop fizz smoke came from that big motorola chip in the middle of the board

~~Anyone know how to adjust the horizontal scale on these monitors? As it's turned on it's side I want to stretch the image a little to fill all of the screen height.~~

I guess like this

that's weird that your Jamma harness isn't keyed to prevent that.

Do NOT adjust your horizontal width coil with a metal tool with the chassis powered up. You'll melt the threads of the coil, which will keep you from being able to make any more adjustments. I highly recommend using a "TV adjustment tool" for this.

Right on. I couldn't see a coil on my monitor though

Nephasth · « **Reply #76 on:** July 23, 2013, 09:17:30 am »

From your thread on KLOV, you said you have a WG19K7611. Here's a component layout from the K7000 manual, the coil looks a little different than what was in the video you posted, the coil itself has a plastic casing.

Maximus · « **Reply #77 on:** July 23, 2013, 10:13:38 am »

Here's a photo of the area by the flyback. There only seems to be a pot for horizontal position

Jamma switch came in so I built a chassis for the board assembly

The horizontal width coil should be in the area above the top middle of that pic. It's labelled Horiz Size in the diagram I posted previously.
