And I'd just finished redoing the CP and was about to start putting all the pieces together and finish out the detail work. Sigh.
Ah well. Press on!
Hey, Anyone have a set of Altec Lansing VS2321 2.1 channel computer speakers they want to get rid of cheap? It'll go into a good cause ;D

Good luck!

Man, that's gone from ironical to sucks. We don't get lightning up here much, so I'm know really sure how much damage it can do to electronics. The speakers themselves should be alright, shouldn't they? It's just the speaker board that's fried?
drventure:
I hope so. I'm hoping I can pick up the exact same unit and just swap out the sub and the controller board but leave the speakers in place. Those things were NOT easy to fabricate.
Still, getting that controller board out will be a trick.
Yeah pretty upsetting. Oh well, now I have one more excuse to keep working on it ;)
Benevolance:
And, hey, put it this way: lightning is the least of a mad scientist's worries. I mean, a protagonist could have stormed your house, beat up you and your underlings, and then destroyed your diabolical mame cabinet far more thoroughly just because he's a hero and a dick. Then you'd have a broken arm and a non-functional arcade cabinet. That would suck worse.
Edit: Just thinking further...were the speakers physically wired to the control board? Or did they have the standard phono/audio jacks? Could you plug the speakers into another sound system?
drventure:
Actually, that's what I'm hoping for. I can pick up another VS2321 set for less than 50$, so I think I'll do that, rip it up and start replacing pieces. Hopefully, it'll just be the subwoofer and main power board that's in there.
I can't imagine that the actual speakers themselves are fried, but who knows.
Yet another casualty, looks like my pool heater got toasted as well. Pool guy took three stabs at it and can't get it working.
That REALLY sucks.
