SPACE INVADERS DELUXE: To restore or MAME?

Pages: << < (18/19) > >>

AlanS17:

I'd say about half (6 or so) are working. However, only about 3 of those are pretty enough to sell right now.

How expensive are these videos?

ChadTower:

Not cheap... I wouldn't buy ALL of them, but some are sure worth the money.  If you have any vector games, the XY monitor repair video is sure worth it...

AlanS17:

Nope, no XY games. The majority are JAMMA standard cabs with 19" monitors (at least they are now that they've been converted) that used to actually be good classic games before they were mutilated. Of course, so are probably more work than they're worth to fix.

AlanS17:

Well a guy named Pat Danis came over today to check out my monitors. They've been misbehaving and he does repairs.

When he got there, though, he noticed my SID. I explained my situation to him and he took a quick look inside. He noticed that the wire harness is all jacked up. It looks like at least one 5v line was cut at the harness. There might be more problems, but that's a start. I need to check it against that schematic in the pdf owner's manual.

Hopefully we found the problem!

ChadTower:

If that is the case, either get a new harness or completely replace the connectors, all the way down to a new set of pins.  Also consdier retinning or reconditioning the edge connectors.
