TheShanMan's Defender restoration - New repro wiring harnesses!!!
Neverending Project:
:applaud:
It's always great to see progress being made. Nice job.
TheShanMan:
As you can imagine, I'm super excited about progress! I didn't buy it to have it collect dust in the garage. ;)
Ordered a new rom set from hobbyroms.com this morning. $40 shipped is a much better price than I was fearing it would be. :cheers:
Got a little advice from Retro on what to look for in an oscilloscope. I want to get one so I can graduate to diagnosing board problems myself since I'll definitely be buying more arcade games. Back in the day, I was an embedded systems guy (hardware and software), but last time I did that was over 10 years ago so I'm quite rusty on this stuff, and haven't been sure what to look for in an o-scope. I'm excited to get the scope and get my next game (and almost WANT it to not be working!) so I can get busy with some hardware troubleshooting. :) I'm happy as a windows software engineer, but I do miss hardware, and this is a good opportunity to satisfy some of that craving.

I did not see those roms on his site. Did you have to ask for them?
TheShanMan:
Yeah, you might have noticed that it says they have more than what's listed. Shoot 'em an email and they'll give you a quote.
RetroACTIVE:
Well unfortunately I have no 393s in stock... so the first round of CPU fixes will have to wait a bit. In the mean time I will replace all electrolytics (CPU, Sound, ROM and I/O), install the lithium upgrade and a few other tidy up type things.
