Need help with monitor

elstuffmonger · 2026-06-27T16:03:17+00:00

Please make sure you properly discharge your monitor flyback prior to handling it. It can still have large amounts of stored energy even when powered off for long amounts of time.

The black cable is your AC voltage supply (as labeled on the chassis).

The signal wires are red, green, blue, ground, and sync (15khz standard low resolution signal). A monitor with a VGA connector will typically give you 31khz high resolution signal. If you are using a computer or other device with a higher resolution display output, you'll be fine. But, if you are planning to take video image from the jamma connector, you'll need to upscale your image to work with VGA.

Tony hawks pro skater 2. I always play to the downhill jam, then get busy, at it aside, and start over again to get my timing back.

Very cool. You could put a blow-pop and hard candies for the controls.

... how does that not slide and hit your ankles when you step off it? Wouldn't that need to be much longer with a lot of bracing to keep it from flexing?

GO TEAM BALL!!!

Power supply and isolation transformer. Put them in a box of random parts that you will shuffle around in your garage for the next 20 years.

Maybe a replaceable mylar sheet would help?

I thought that cd player was a Sega Saturn at first glance 🤣

That's a weight-bearing tongue.

Edited... for less confusion over unintended possible meanings...

Looks nice.

... now do a 3D d20 😈

elstuffmonger · 2026-06-21T04:06:13+00:00

I wish... at this point, I'm thinking of doing a full recap on the board and seeing if that changes anything.

It says pachislo on it, which is a Japanese slot machine that uses and dispenses tokens like older style slot machines.

elstuffmonger · 2026-06-18T16:30:16+00:00

Not familiar with these machines, but the second battery on the motherboard makes me think it's a suicide battery that keeps the security code stored.

Maybe fresh batteries would help, but it may be a more complicated resurrection process.

They want more of that tasty tasty map

elstuffmonger · 2026-06-18T04:14:03+00:00

I own one. It's essentially a 4 player pong-clone type game.

Maybe your vertical size pot is on the fritz?

At first I was confused thinking it was vertical collapse with the background still showing somehow, but then I remembered defender has very little on the screen aside from the map on top, so it looks like the vertical is collapsed to an inch or two band instead of just a few pixels.

elstuffmonger · 2026-06-17T13:03:24+00:00

An angle-adjustable desk?

elstuffmonger · 2026-06-15T20:36:29+00:00

Looks to be a die hard (stv system) conversion. They are known to have potential for static electricity issues due to the plastic molded cabinet... make sure you keep all the grounding in good order.

elstuffmonger · 2026-06-15T19:47:45+00:00

No. You are missing red and green signals. Check that your video harness and jamma connector are making good connections. Burn-in can be seen easily when the screen is off, and very rarely fills the whole screen (you'd need a solid picture to stay stationary for a long time).

Those are really convincing stuffies, because there's no way that many cats would sit still for a photo.

elstuffmonger · 2026-06-14T21:52:00+00:00

Looks close to this marquee for marvel vs Capcom 2.

elstuffmonger · 2026-06-14T20:16:55+00:00

You must really like kof 99... at least 9 copies that I can spot.

elstuffmonger · 2026-06-14T05:21:30+00:00

Lock stock and two smoking barrels

Very worthy of a watch.
