That is incredible. It's been several years since I rebuilt my speaker modules, and I don't know if I saved the old drivers. If I did, this would be a really fun project to attempt. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, everyone! Especially @nem. This thread is now indexed pretty highly on Google, which will maybe help others in the future.

Hey all, I'm trying to help a friend with his Capcom Q25. The PSU is dead, maybe not worth repairing. He's trying to keep the original JAMMA loom as stock as possible, and in order to use a replacement PSU, would like to source replacement connector housing + pin terminals in order to hook up...

Another happy 301 owner here (not sure how long, but probably 3+ years). The manual definitely specifies how to use the tool to avoid clogs. I've never had a clog due to normal use. The only time I got a clog was when I _wasn't_ following the operating procedure AND I accidentally sucked up a...

If you've never had your cabinet in half you might as well open it up and give everything a deep clean while you rebuild the speakers. Bending the brackets seems like such a bad idea to me.

Where does this fit into the picture for MisterCade users?

If I were to commit to buy, when would funds be collected? Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. Also, it seems like this would work in a Blast City right? Again, sorry if these are remedial questions, but if time is of the essence to make this decision, I'll need some help.

I've been away from the forums, mostly, but I'm down to commit for one [in theory] once I can learn a bit more about it and plan how I might use it. At the moment I don't have a lot of original PCBs. I have an original Arkanoid, a MiSTercade, and an XBOX360 that I could potentially use it with...

I have an original Arkanoid as well (untested) and have been thinking for ages about how I might set it up for play. The thing I got stuck on was being able to determine a suitable spinner that output a similar number of pulses per revolution to the OEM Arkanoid spinner. It seems that most...

Overcome was really flaky when I dealt with them two years ago. Some things never change.

Bravo, I slept on this thread and missed out on batch 1. Registered interest for batch 2. Fantastic work, ya'll.

That's incredible that you were able to get those things re-plated, but i'm BLOWN AWAY that you got someone to agree to replate the FASTENERS. You probably got a steal on labor.

Rad, I'm going to give the Hozan a shot. Luckily the terminals are cheap enough for some experimentation. I initially bought some of those pre-insulated ones and concur that they are straight garbage. Really hard to get a good crimp without also destroying the insulation. Even if it's just for...

do you have any recommendations for crimping your preferred style of QDC connectors? I have the Hozan P706 and a cheapo IWISS for the knockoff 'duPont' connectors. I think the Hozan might handle them but wondering if there any any other unofficial tools for the job.

If they are 8 Ohm speakers, you can wire each speaker in the box up in parallel instead of in series (the default wiring).

Hey Tony, I have a Spikeout instruction card. I found it in the back of my blast city and I have no use for it. Interested? I'd send it your way, sandwiched in some cardboard.

Originally the parts are yellowish due to their anti-corrosive layer, known as yellow zinc. This layer is really thin and can even be stripped mechanically with a wire brush if you're not careful (speaking from experience). Your vinegar soak removed it along with the actual corrosion. Kind of...

They are tight squeeze but you _can_ get them in. In my experience, I did so with the back half of the cabinet removed. Some folks bend up the mounting brackets to avoid removing the back, but that's not my style. edit: Probably goes without saying, but make sure you have the alignment just...

Nice work! Are those the Aurasound NS2x3-184-4A? That's what I used for my speaker rebuild! Quite pleased with the result.

Great deal. @stringbean is right on the money; the full disassembly and cleaning is at least a dozen hours of labor if you're doing it the first time. It took me a whole lot longer because I was super thorough and generally took my time. Had to laugh at the yaton spray job. I had to buy a...
