Can you guys belived that i never played Tron in my life
well, my dream came true
My Tron is finally alive !!!
It started few months ago:
http://spaceinvaders.7.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=967Found a Tron cab for $99, and of course it was not working
the sides were not in a good shape, the back of the cab is very bad, all back doors unusable
But the front was in perfect condition
The monitor was blank, and the game did not even play blind
so i started to work on little things:
The cab stayed in a corner for a while, until i decided to really see what was going wrong...
I turn on the cab, download the owner manual, look at all the fuses and check the voltage, and
nothing at all...
I removed the power supply:
As you can see, a lithium battery was installed, i can see some trace of repair before.
Now i have a few choices
1- try to repair it again, order a cap-kit
2- get another one working on ebay :roll:
3- make some research :wink: an it pay off
(Thanks to this board once again
)
I found this:
A replacement, it is plug and play, just need a regular power supply
I placed an order, and got it a few days later
I hooked up to a brand new PSU...know was time to put it in the cab...
no need of those cables with that device...
I rewire the PCB
The wood that was maintaining the PCB was in a bad shape, so i replaced it with a PCB holder, that i bought form Bob Roberts a while ago...
Time to check all the connections...
A little prayer to the ARCADES GODS, power on and
YHEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S WORKING !!!!
Before playing my first Tron game, i decided to give a final cleaning to the cab...
I probably removed 3 tones of dust
TIME TO PLAY MY FIRST TRON GAMEWowwww, i love it...i never played the game before, just twice on Mame, with the keyboard :roll:
I love the game, fun fun fun
SHOW TIME KNOW (Probably one of the most beautiful arcade cabinet)
