Does V hold vary from board to board?

[harveybirdman]

For those of you running original hardware and switching or swapping JAMMA.  How much to you have to adjust your monitor after a swap?

I'm worried that my whole concept of multiple JAMMA boards is going to come crashing down if I have to adjust the ---gosh-darn--- v hold every time I change games?

It seems like Maximus complained of something similar in his Ikari/Heavy Barrel build.  Does anyone else have a similar problem and or a solution?

Both V & H hold adjustments may be necessary when swapping boards, but not so much with JAMMA boards in my experience (just occasionally).

V/H position on the other hand may need to be adjusted more often, but if your monitor has a remote board you can stash that in the control panel for easier access.

4-6 board switchers have been used in some nice setups, depending on your chassis, you just have to fiddle with the H/V position pots until you find a happy medium that works for all the games you have in the cab.

Dude, I mean.  Really.  C'mon.

 

If the hold didn't vary between boards - why would that adjustment be on the chassis?

so in other words, don't screw down my monitor access panel  ....  Admittedly I need to wait til I get a few more boards to see how big of an issue this might be, I just noticed it when testing my non functioning Strikers board after I had Raiden II looking pretty decent.

pbj.... dude... I like your style man.... never change....

Does your monitor have a remote board?  My Nanao MS9 in my New Astro City has one that is accessible from under the CP. Makes good for quick adjustments.  I'm assuming since your cab is a Dynamo, it was probably fitted with a WG of some kind?  Not sure if they made remote boards for them...

they make em, but mine doesn't have one.  I thought about ordering one from Twisty Wrist and trying to figure out how to self install.

Desolder the adjustment knob, solder some long wires to it, resolder, mount in convenient location.
