Ms Pacman Cocktail
opt2not:
No problem, I'll hang onto it for you!
Thanks for the compliment also, so far my cocktail is turning out well, I'm hoping I can get it done in the next few weeks! *fingers crossed*
Spyridon:
That is definitely some serious screen burn, but overall, the cocktail seems to be in pretty good shape. Should clean up nicely. I'd love to pickup a Midway cocktail, but I haven't seen any around for a decent price yet.
RayB:
Um, you don't need to discharge a tube that's had no power going into it. Just connect the annode back onto it. You see the 2 prongs sticking out beneath the cup? They both need to fit inside the round hole (they stick inside on each side, under the edge of the hold, holding the whole thing in.)
Then power up and cross your fingers. Chances are those that power up with it detached will have caused arcing to other parts, damaging them.
StuDaBaker:
Well, took a few minutes and fiddled with this, re-attached the anode cap (made sure both prongs were inserted into the hole) plugged it in and .... nada. Seems the monitor isn't getting any power. No glow, hum, sparks, fire or smoke. The only thing that happens is the control panel backlights come on and what sounds like a fan in the bottom of the cabinet. Guess I'll be checking the power supply next.
RayB:
(here we go again)
Monitor gets AC power from the big block thing called an isolation transformer, not the power supply. The power supply converts AC to DC to power the game board.
Post more photos. ;)
