Midway Arcade Cabinet by Big Electronic Games
BigJer:
Yeah, I guess it is. The one I had was pretty beat up from constant re-solders. I managed to clean it up, re-tin all the wires and re-solder everything cleanly. Only issue was the reset solder pad was missing. I can jump that one later to an unused pad if needed. Probably good that I do not have it anyway so that the grand kids can't constantly hit the reset button.
Thanks for the input!

No luck with either the video amp or the Composite to HDMI conversion. I still get terrible video with strange lines going down the screen. What could possibly cause this thing to work very well with other CRTs, but not play nice with LCD (except for that little 7 inch guy)?

The year is 2018 and I'm needing a monitor for my big midway that this forum is about.. so I'll run my issue by yall. Its plugged up and I cut the switch on and within 5 seconds u see the monitor attempt to turn on some colors appear then it shuts off with a white dot about 3 inches across.. with 1/4 of the top of the screen also lit and then goes black. No sounds either. I seen a pic of the machine working when it was posted for sale, I got it for free when I went to get it and it was doing this. I'll try to post 2 pics... i so wanna show my kid defender and joust and rampage.

It might be a little too late to help you out, but have you tried flipping the switch under the unit? I had a similar issue and my switch was "in the middle" when it should have been either to the left or right.

I just picked up one of these machines and it appears it was working except the control panel. I didn't care about the internals however so I gutted it and i'm in the process of building a vertical machine with an LCD, light up marquee, and new control panel. If anyone needs a control panel, buttons, 12 in 1 game board, Non light up wood marquee, or bezel just let me know. I will give you want ever you want for free as I rather you have a working machine than my trash can eating arcade parts. As for the TV, I've already trashed that piece.
