Last set of this cab, I promise. |

I've got two of those here, and I used to have a third. The boards you've already got on the door are the complete boardset. The only other board in those is a little tiny sound amp that should be attached to the bottom of the cab. And the monitor PCB. The dude that told you it's JAMMA doesn't know JAMMA from a hole in the ground. It's not, and anybody that knows what JAMMA means would know it about ten seconds after looking at those PCBs. JAMMA is a wiring standard, all of the wires for the PCB go through one single 56-pin connector. Hang-On has about 6 different connectors going from the rest of the cab to the boards, along with several board-to-board cables. What you really want to hope for if you're looking to restore it is that the wiring harness is intact. That's a ton of wires to do from scratch, and Sega used some really weird connectors, I dunno where you'd find replacements. Your missing brake and throttle cables turn up on eBay pretty often, the brake handle not so much. If you decide to MAME it, I'll be curious to see how you attach a control panel to it. |

NICE!... I've lost girlfriends for lesser things than a Hang-On cabinet. Heck, I would trade pretty much all of them for one. Hope you can fix it up nice. Good luck. I'll be watching your progress. |

But since I don't have any direct experience with JAMMA equipment, I wasn't going to make any assumptions about what is or isn't JAMMA unless I verify it. I haven't seen his MAME cab, but from what I've heard, it wouldn't be a design I would be happy with. I know he's already broken one cardinal rule with my design sketches by suggesting I add a MAME based marquee. ---fudgesicle--- that. |

I haven't traced the wires back to the board yet, so I don't know if the leads connect to a sub connector before heading off to the board. If that's true, then all I think I need to do is figure out which wire does what and splice new leads on. If I can work out the wire leads, would it be better to return an arcade monitor back into the cab or can I adapt the signal to a PC monitor instead to keep my costs lower? Maybe Randy or someone else has something like a reverse ArcadeVGA. |
