Back to work on pac-man this weekend. First up was to install the new monitor. I pulled the old monitor out and set it next to the new one. I needed to remove the monitor rails from the old one and install on the new one Once that was done, I was able to install the new monitor into the cab I cut the new monitor power cord and spliced the wires into the old monitor wires, connecting the thrid wire to a ground wire. Next up was to connect all the wires we matched up earlier. I twisted the wires together, added some solder, and used some shrink tube to finish it off: Got a package in the mail earlier this week. Midway PCB holders! Best part of the deal is that I got them for the cost of shipping ($4.95) thanks to a fellow KLOV'er. I installed two of them to hold the PCB in place. No need to use all four sides at this point because once this is working, it will be torn down for painting. And then installed the PCB: As I was installing this, I noticed that the board has the fast speed chips on it. Where's the best place to get the normal speed roms? |

Okay, monitor is in place and wired up I picked up some Pac-man plexi from This Old Game. It's big enough to cover the monitor, but I'm not sure how it mounts in the game. Is there some type of bezel I need? I'll have to pull up the manual and check it out Okay, now the moment of truth. Time to power it up... Woot!!!! Game on! Need to adjust the vertical position on the monitor, but that is easy on these Vision Pro monitors as the controls are on a 3 foot wire so you can adjust from the front. Tried to play a game, but couldn't move to the right. Let's check the joystick Ah, one of the wires had come loose. Easy fix, just solder it back in place and we are good to go. The picture on this new monitor is incredible. Sound works fine as well. Let's put the bezel in place for the full effect: Coin door wiring still needs some work as I can't use it to coin up, but the credit switch works fine. Just about ready to strip this down for a full blown cabinet restore. It was a good weekend! |
