[Restoration] Megatouch Maxx Upright

[DrAlves]

Introduction:

This project was carried out in Portugal from September 2020 until today.
Since I was a child, it was a dream to have this arcade machine, and I got it!
This was my first restoration of an arcade machine.
Currently, there is little I need to restore but in general, everything is already done.

This restoration consisted of:

• Restoration of wood
• Screen Restoration (Cap Kit + Flyback)
• Coin Bucket Restoration
• Door Restoration
• Key Restoration
• Restoration of Locks
• Cable Restoration
• Fan Restoration
• Plastics Restoration

Three things remain to be restored:

• Back wood, with remnants of other wood to cover gaps
• Cleaning the touch screen
• Insert front basel lock ✓

Hope you like it!

You did an amazing job!

I have just purchased the same machine and want to begin restoring. The initial things I want to do:

1. Backup hard drive and convert to either CF or SSD
2. Repair/replace the monitor

For the monitor... mine is fine touchwise and mostly fine displaywise but I have white lines that go across and one of the pots does not work at all.
I am nervous about repairing considering I know very little about how CRTs work and realize that they are very very dangerous. Am not finding luck finding a repair person. Do you have any documentation or guidance for what you had to do to restore your monitor?

[lilshawn]

they are called "retrace lines". it's usually an indication the the screen voltage is turned up a little too high on the flyback.

on the high voltage transformer you'll find 2 adjustments. one will be "focus".... the other "screen". turn down the "screen" a tiny bit till the lines disappear and the black is black again.
