R-Type - Let's try to bring this one back.....

(1/6) > >>

EVAWINGZERO:
I recently picked up a Dedicated R-Type machine from Craigslist. The seller told me the game used to work, but the screen began to flicker then eventually the game stopped working. I got the cab for 100$ and it's in fairly good shape. When I plug the game in and turn it on, the monitor turns on, but there is a really high pitched sound and the game doesn't turn on. The screen has some white spots in the corners as well.  Anyone have any ideas?

EVAWINGZERO:
Here's some pics of the cab.

Does it play blind - eg when you drop a quarter can you hear game play?

I'm sure the monitor is original - prob needs a rebuild at the very least.

Just tried it. When turning it on, the screen lights up and you only hear "Buzzing coming from the speaker area. I tried around 10 coins in each and nothing about it changed. You think the Game is dead?

emphatic:
First of all, that side art is superb. Open the door and take some pictures of the insides. Does it have a game printed circuit board? As the cabinet was kinda cheap, my bet is that the PCB might have been kept by the seller. Pictures of the insides will surely help us help you.
