Picked up a HOGAN'S ALLEY and COMBATRIBE cabinet's last Friday.
BUCKETHEAD:
Excuse me for asking?
But where exactly is the monitor cable?
Like i said i don't know much about these machines?
Is it right on back of the tube?
that square looking chip thing?
Thanks for bearing with me :)
paigeoliver:
The monitor is going to have two sets of wires running to it, one of them is OBVIOUSLY going to be the power wires (big and chunky, like a lamp cord), the other set is the signal wires, they should end in a plastic connector of some flavor that is plugged into the monitor boards.
Find THAT on both machines. Are they identical? If so then hook up the one from the Hogan's Alley to the other game and turn on both machines, and see if the Hogan's Alley picture is displayed on the other monitor. Then do the reverse (try the Combatribes on the Hogan's Alley monitor).
If the connectors are different then please take good pictures of both of them and we can talk you through testing them.
I repeat, you are looking for where the wires come up from lower in the game to the monitor, it will be on the monitor circuit board, the big one at the bottom of the monitor assembly, not the little square one that is butted up to the back of the tube.

Maybe, maybe not, depends on how it is set up. It isn't going to have a Nintendo monitor in a Galaxian cabinet. Anyway, if it had the Nintendo monitor and it was dead then he wouldn't get audio, this one must be set up for the g07 that is likely in there.
BUCKETHEAD:
I am going to try the monitor hookup between the 2 cabinets later this week
when i have some time. Time is tight at the beginning of the week.
2 Questions? Can the COMBATRIBE play other JAMMA pcb's since it has
DYNAMO/JAMMA printed on the head PCB connect harness?
And i noticed in the GALAXIAN/HOGANS ALLEY cabinet there is a gold cage in the
bottom left of the cabinet. Could this be the GALAXIAN pcb?
Did they put them in cages like that?
I will keep you posted on the monitor situation.. ;)
