[Restoration] Megatouch Maxx Upright
« on: December 09, 2021, 07:45:15 am »
Quote from: General Information
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!  8)

This is a really great restoration - it looks brand new!  What kinds of games does it play?  Never seen one of these before...

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?

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.
