Not at all, this wasn't in response to anything specific. I think I'm always thinking that this opinion might exist so I was trying to explain away my own mental baggage. Maybe someone thinks this, maybe no one does, I dunno! Those metallic controls look really snazzy installed. Much nicer...

Is this a known variation on the MS9, or is it the same as some other cab? There are several versions, I've seen, and the Cyber Lead has a reputation for monitor excellence. For sure it handles interlaced video much better than my other MS9 cabs, it's as good as any monitor I've ever used...

This is really nice, it's so much smaller than my original, which is huge for Sega Reasons™️ I guess.

I definitely missed his post on the topic. But I did see the AO wiki page, which has the pinout but not the connector. Other pages had the connector, but not the pinout. The manual schematic had both, sort of, but the pinout itself wasn't really clear. Oh, I get what they're for, I just...

Last night I whipped up a switch holder for the coin reject mechanism. It works perfectly. STL file is here: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/cyber-lead-coin-reject-credit-switch.29873/

This is a microswitch mount for Cyber Lead cabs, that use the coin reject mechanism to ring in credits. This particular switch was pulled from a worn out Semitsu stick, but I think most switches should fit. It should be installed towards the outside of the cab, or it'll hit the monitor bezel...

I've started putting together an all-in-one list of connectors for the Cyber Lead: https://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=arcade:namco_cyber_lead_pinouts

It took me like an hour and a half to pull this all together, a combination of bad search skills (like 90%) and the fact that the following two things do not seem to have ever been put together on the same page. Anyway, here's the 10pin kick/etc pinout for the Namco JVS CONV board. It's an...

That makes sense in this modern age, I guess. I've got a handful of older Japanese PSUs that do 15A on the +5V rail, so I think that'll be sufficient. =) Yeah I was surprised to read about that, considering my (apparently) original wiring included connectors for those weird LS-33 sticks with...

Thanks for confirming that. What a weird cab! I wish I was in the meetings where they put this plan together. Mine definitely makes contact. How much, I can't say, perhaps its barely touching, maybe it's load-bearing. For sure there are scuffs on the purple plastic that suggests more than...

Alright, so it took me a while to wrap my head around this, but this means... There's no reason to have two VGA cables coming off the JAMMA board, one is effectively superfluous? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, TBH. (Not questioning YOU, but those baffling wizards at NAMCO). I can...

Story post! Please comment if you can offer any insight or corrections to my understanding of this cab. It's 2 days old for me, so I'm still learning its secrets. So, I just picked up a Cyber Lead cab. It's been a bit of a grail cab for me for a long time, I really love the colours and shape...

It's for the Pioneer LaserActive system, with the MegaLD module. It's probably not worth the money. :)

Nah, totally unrelated. I'm trying to be more open about my WIPs, whether they're thought process or 3D models, or whatever. I'm not sure the 'say nothing until it's done' approach has really served me well. So, yeah. That post was more off the cuff. Thanks! I'm glad it's worth the effort...

Is this the place to be discussing that? 🤔
