Yep good deal.
But I'd prefer one thread about this cab/set :) I just answered on the one in "monitors", some things already answered here :)
An Amplifone is definitely worth fixing. And it's not hard at all. If you need Q3 (BU406D) on the HVT, I got plenty left from my repair. (Ordered 10, still got 8 left :) ).

Thanks, I just might take you up on that offer.

I need to replace some of the graphics for my SW. I have seen them in several places online... ANyone has any feedback on which is the best? I have seen them on ArcadeShop and MameMarquees.

An update...
I picked up the second (bad) SW board yeserday (along with th Space Fever cocktail that I will convert to DK... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=72182.0).
Decided to plug it into the cab and see what happens. I did so without the interconnect board being connected (did not notice it in the box). Looking through the holes on the gold shielding case, I noticed three flashing red LEDs). Oh well... It was worth a shot. :-\
About 15 minutes later, I noticed the Interconnect board. I connected everything together, plugged it in and turned the beast on... A couple of clicks, the red LEDs solid so I figured it was dead... As I was reaching for the power to turn it off, I heard: "The Force will be with you"!!!! Moving to the front, I pulled the trigger and heard: "Red 5 Standing By" followed by game play!!! Woo Hoo!!! IT LIVES!!! :cheers: And this was the "bad" board.
Plugging it into the test cabinet, it came alive, but looks like everything is just red (no green, yellow, etc).
Here is the funny thing... connected in the original, working board and I realized that there is a short somewhere as it works sometimes, when I jiggle the cable. A couple of times it started with a laser firing sound, a could with Darth saying "the Force is strong in this one", "Use the Force a couple of times" and a couple of times with a bit of the SW theme. Any idea what this means? IE, What is the real start up sounds for the system?
Level42:
The game (at least mine) is silent until you credit it. On the first coin Obi Wan says "The force will be with you". On the second coin followed by "always". Then trigger to "select" a game level. "Rogue 5 standing by..." etc.
Did you check the interconnect cable to the sound board ?
This was my first power up ever:
In this video I credit it two times, and select a level and start play, should give you an idea about the sounds:
