Ah, rereading, Drew said he had sold 23" monitors, you mistakenly said 21", apparently.

So, you've been talking all this time about the inability to find a 19" b/w monitor?  Damn, man, those are easy to get.  Hell, just take a 19" b/w tv and put it in there, that's all those really old monitors are...

Bad news on the restoration front, people. I got that new monitor and hooked it up. Still nothing. I'm beginning to think the problem isn't even the monitor. When I plug it in, the lights come on inside, but I'm not getting sound or picture. However, I have the feeling the speaker is getting power cuz it makes a popping sound when I unplug it. So I'm starting wonder if the problem isn't the game board.

Everything in there is cosmetically intact and nice and clean, but that doesn't mean it's working. The "genius" that owned this thing before me cleaned it regularly on the inside. Lord only knows what he might have done to it...

This thing might begetting MAMEd after all...

..and when you are MAMEing it.. you could take some mearuements too  ;D


But seriously, if you MAME it, atleast do it in such a way that it can be reversed should you ever get a working game board and/or monitor..
IntruderAlert:
I read somewhere that you should check the 10 UF electrolytic capacitors on the main
board, right beside where the daughter board plugs in

There's like 4 of them or something

If that's all it is it'll be a cheap fix
