DK 3 to Donkey Kong conversion/resto *FINISHED*
ZORK2:
After that, I did a little touch up work on the front where the blue and black meet, I had a bit of an issue with the colors bleeding though the tape, despite my best efforts to prevent it from happening. Fixed it with touch up paint and a little brush, it looked turned out nice.
After that I put the coinbox back in, it took a bit of engineering to get it back in. The holes it screwed into were completley wallowed out. I ended up screwing 2 pieces of wood to the bottom of the box that acted as a lift to get it where it needed to be, then I wood glued the heck out of it. It won't be going anywhere soon.
The I put the power block back in, got all the wires run, and got everything plugged back in!! Even got the speaker grill and screen painted black and put back on!
Next I plugged the monitor back in, turned the game on and........
ARRRRRGGGG!!! STILL HAS A MONITOR PROBLEM!!!
I started a thread on the monitor page, detailing what is going on with it, if anyone thinks they can help!!
But I DID GET TO HEAR THE SWEET SOUND OF DONKEY KONG!! The board seems to be working like a charm!!
ZORK2:
This suck is so clean inside you could EAT OUT OF IT! :)
Maybe not, but sure does look nice in there huh!?!

It's hard to tell in that picture, but that doesn't look like a monitor issue. Looks like a PCB issue. I'd have to see a better picture to be 100%.
ZORK2:
Never say never, but the board was sold as tested and working?
I guess before I do a whole heck of a lot more to the monitor I can try to throw DK3 back in and see what happens?
It was REALLY hard trying to get a pic of what was going on with the monitor. It was like you could adjust it, ALMOST, but then it was wavey and jumpy, picture wasn't overly bright either??
Pretty sure that it is the monitor, not the board??!?!
I'm hoping the folks over on the monitor link can help!!!

If you've got a different board you can use to test, go ahead and do that. You might as well determine if it is a board or monitor problem before you get too far into working on the monitor.
