Heavy Victory Ikari Time Barrel Warrior Soldiers Road 'Cammo Edition'

Ok I'll try and get a better look at it when I have some decent light. I may have to pull the monitor anyway if the overdrive issues are monitor related.

[emphatic]

That HORIZ RASTER POSITION jumper, is it like a wide/narrow thing seen on other monitor brand chassis? It might be worth reading up on if nothing else works. 

[Maximus]

In other news I went ahead and picked up another original marquee, the one I have is too small and I don't want to start doing all kinds of funky stuff to the cabinet to compensate for it.

Bigger one inbound

I need to build a splitter cable so I can hook up the rotary harnesses for the joysticks to both game boards. They are 13 pin flat connectors...



Not sure on the verbiage to know what to search for to find either an existing item or gather the parts to build one, anyone know the description I should use to search out these style of flat male/female plugs?

[sabreerbasAlpha]

Try here Maximus.

Lots of different options and connections.

Search "multi rotary" on KLOV. 2600 made some board kits for rotary joysticks being used in 6-in-1 setups. I assembled a few kits for a few KLOV members a year and a half to two years ago. If you have a terminal crimper, you can just use whatever headers and connectors you prefer, no need to limit yourself to a connector type just because it's there. There's usually a few different types available for the different pin pitches.

Looks like reply #29 here has the P/Ns.

If this helps, here are some of the actual JST connector part #'s...

Cable Connector: H13P-SHF-AA
Connector Pins: SHF-001T-0.8BS
PCB Connector RT Angle: BS13-SHF-1AA

Thanks Scott!

I've hit up Takeman to see if he has any of the PCBs left, nice that they will support up to 6 games and are scalable. Neph do you have any of the harnesses left?

[Nephasth]

Fresh out.

[Maximus]

Ok. Scott/Neph will these connectors work, the pitch is 0.1" rather than 0.098"

[Nephasth]

For making your own harnesses, any connector will work. But you'll probably need to find a 2.50mm pitch connector for connecting the rotary harnesses to the game PCBs... or you could desolder those headers and solder the harnesses to the boards. Skin that cat.

EDIT: Here's a laundry list of headers and connectors with 13 pins at 2.50mm pitch: http://www.molex.com/molex/products/listview.jsp?query=&offset=0&filter=&fs=application%3AWire-to-Board&npp=20&sType=z&autoNav=&path=cHome%23%23-1%23%23-1%7E%7Ef105%7C%7C322e35306d6d%7E%7Enf13%7C%7C3133&channel=Products&key=wire_to_board_connectors

Still need to hear back from Troy (Takeman) who is apparently making the multi-rotary PCBs these days.

Also still need to choose a decent crimper.

Flag on the play!!

That's solid core wire, not stranded -- it's NOT suitable for crimp connections.

Try this stranded kind instead -- same size, same price, same seller.

Also still need to choose a decent crimper.

Ahhhh crap.  Oh well always handy to have on the shelf for power applications

I've posted all of this before as well, but nobody listens to me... except for yotsuya.

Coin doors painted


Board chassis mounted


One step forward and two steps back is how this project feels right now.  Turned the games on and now it's obvious that the power supply is too weak for both games running at the same time. Also the monitor started squealing a super high pitched sound.  Hoping I can fix the monitor issue by using the rgb risers on the 2-in-1 board rather than the pinouts on the Jamma plug.

It is very ghetto but I used an IDE ribbon cable for mine.  Sure it has more sockets than needed but it fit with a decent connection.

Do you mean for the rotary stick harness or the RGB riser?

[Maximus]

Tried looking around for alternate PSU options but didn't see much outside of the normal switchers, unless you want to start hacking PC Power supplies, wondering if I can just put two switchers in parallel.

Bought the Waldon HT-1921 Crimpers, seems people really like them.

Multi-Rotary update.

Neither 2600 or Takeman are making any of the kits at the moment so I'm going to have to make my own. Looks pretty simple, instead of trying to get all fancy with male 13 pin 2.5mm headers on the multi-rotary board I'm just going to use standard 2.54mm pitch solderable protoboard and solder the ends of the harnesses I am making directly in, each harness pin separated by by a diode except for pin 1 on each harness that will be bridged.

I can build a single board that can house two sticks for 3 games for about $14, just a matter of soldering 48 diodes, 4 bridges and 78 wires.... who says I don't know how to party.

[Maximus]

Exterior update.

Camo vinyl has been delivered so I have everything I need to finish all the cosmetics, expect funky cool pictures later tonight.

[Rick]

Camo vinyl has been delivered...

OBLIGATORY:

Lol it always annoyed me when Mr T catches his arm on the seat when he turns around in the car, I guess that's just me though.

This going to be fun

Ha!

Coin doors look like crap.  Should be hammered black.

Ha!

Ha!

All I see is a picture of a Wagon. 

[Maximus]

I was laughing like a kid doing this in my garage,  I think I'm scaring the neighbors.

Fun fun fun

[Maximus]

Lol yeah they were hammered black when I got the cab so I gave them a light keying and then did my textured flat so it's a mixture if both.  The flat goes well with the camo

[mrcram]

Dude, beyond awesome! Great job so jealous

[emphatic]

This is so over the top, I'm at loss for words.

[Maximus]

Here we go, all the cab and exterior is 99% complete

[dextercf]

Haha!
That is truly amazingly bold!

You want restrained design go to Ikea 

If I had to choose one word to describe this cab it would be....uhmmm......

AWESPLOSION!!!

Is this a commission build for Sgt. Slaughter?

[dandro]

I like it!
