usually have 2716 pulls. Mail them and ask for a price on a set, I got better prices than on the site.

With the ROM errors I've been getting, I wanted to 100% eliminated them as being part of the problem, especially since I've soldered more than one leg on the old ones to try and get it going.
So a buddy of mine burned four new program ROMs for me. I'm pretty sure it's even an upgrade to the original program. I think I was running v2 before, and now I'm running v3.
Success! Kind of. I'm still getting error 4, but I think it's voltage related instead of being ROM related. If I had a coin door on there I'm pretty sure I could have played a game. The text is a bit garbled.
Last I checked I was only getting 13V on the 30 VDC test point. I replaced a couple caps on the game board (with what I had around) and it didn't help. I need to replace the rest. But I'm out at home, and I'd prefer to replace them with axial caps instead of the radial ones. I know it doesn't make any difference performance-wise, but I like the look better. :P
SirPeale:
I made a replacement cardboard bezel using the old one as a pattern. Using regular poster paper, I wasn't thrilled with the thickness, as it is about half as thick.
Since it was just sitting around I decided to pop it in the cab today to see how it would do. It looks great, actually! I'd thought about gluing two pieces of the paper together back to back and making a new one, but I'm happy with this for now.
I still need to cap this fully, it still comes up with graphic errors. Need to raise the capital first, though.
ChadTower:
Nice. If you glued two together it probably would have come out with glue warping anyway.
I know you carry leg levelers... do you have the base for them too? My Berzerk has none at all. When I cut the base off and replace I'm going to have to put some on to prevent the same thing from happening again. I need some locks, too, since a lot of my games have no keys.
SirPeale:
Isn't the base in my store? Yes, I have them.
edit: I'll be darned. They weren't in there. They are now.
