What would you do with a semi-gutted Neo-Geo MVS cab?

paigeoliver:

You need a multimeter first. Set it to resistance, measure the resistance across the points mentioned on his page.

None of it makes any sense unless you actually have the multimeter and tube in front of you, and it is REALLY simple and makes perfect sense then.

A lot of things in this hobby are like that, they sound all hard and complicated when reading about it, but if you actually go to do it you find it is really simple.

All of the below fall into that category.

Cap kits.
adjusting voltage
discharging a tube.
replacing a power supply.
replacing the atari big blue cap.

I'd really like to give it a shot. I'll have to get some cash up and going for it. I'm sure you're right, once you get your hands dirty things usually start to fall in place.

If I do it, I write up something to try and help others as well. Thanks!


Stingray:

I'm glad Paige came along and talked you into resurecting this Neo-Geo system. Minus only the monitor & controls, that's a no-brainer. A working Neo-Geo is worth more to me than a MAME system in the same cab.

paigeoliver:

I must agree, my Neo Geo system gets more play than any of my mame cabinets.

Iori:

Yea, I love to play games on my consolized MVS even though I can play most of them in MAME as well... one of these days I'll score myself a big red 2 or 4 slot or a 4 slot candy cab...  ;D  Just waiting for one on the cheap locally.
