Newbie - Just picked up a Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles cabinet!
drbabbers:
All,
I am totally new to all of this so please bare with me..
I have just picked up a fully working Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles JAMMA based arcade machine. My long term goal is to setup a PC running MAME and hook it up to the machine via a J-Pac.
On a different note... I know nothing about the internal components of the machine and want to give it a clean.. Can anyone point me to anything helpful about the internals? Possibly a diagram or something?
I wanted to use a can of compressed air to clean the dust from inside the machine. But it would ideally be nice to understand what all the parts inside are actually for!! :-)
Thanks!
Dean

I doubt you will find that much in there, it's normally the display, arcade board, PSU and control panel (speaker and light too) the only diffences are normally how well the previous owners/operators treated is with repairs etc, some cabs can be a right bodge of cables.
Sometimes a paintbrush can be better for cleaning, but even with the compressed air I would have a vacuum on as well to catch all the dust you are removing.
drbabbers:
Thanks for the tips. The paintbrush sounds like a good idea. There are a few cobwebs in there!!
To be fair when I opened the machine, all of the cables are very neat and tidy.
I am really after an overview on what exactly is what in the machine. Any diagrams or documentation anywhere?

you must be in the UK, they are ninja turtles on this side of the pond.
You get an original cabinet?The one with the turtles and April on the side?
