blast city

Hi All, A few years back, Lex Terieur (not sure if he's active on this forum) shared images of his DIY speaker repair for the Sega Blast City. As many know, it's extremely difficult to find speakers that are perfect fits (other than KC's option). With that said, he created an STL file to easily...

Free to a good home. I believe it came off of a Sega Bass Fishing. Includes one of the J shaped retainers that grabs the cab back wheels. I'll have it up here until after Thanksgiving. If no one bites, I'll remove the hardware and trash the wood. Enjoy! -Anthony

Hi All! Long time lurker here. I was finally able to purchase a Sega Blast City a couple of weeks ago and am looking for parts in order to start restoring it. One item that's been slightly baffling is the control panel overlap. No insult to the ones sold and produced at the moment but there...

I recently refurbished a Blast City cabinet that was missing the HOT-1303 port cover. There are very few topics on the web that covered this and I couldn't find one to buy. @RandomRetro made a great simple design for 3D printing in this post in Arcade Projects that covered the topic. He also...

[EDIT]: See post below for what I actually disconnected. Taking the chassis and neck board off the MS-2930 from my Blast for my first monitor washdown. Just have a couple questions: Any tips on removing the PCB from the frame? Does it slide out of the black plastic case somehow? Yep, 3...

I'm refurbishing a Blast City that we totaled out from a recent container order. Really bad cracks that kept growing as we moved it around the shop. I took it to a local auto paint supplier and we matched the paint to the code 18S6718 from the Valspar automotive book. It's an exact match! This...

Hi all, I've been reading to figure out how to get my VF4:FT disc working in my new Blast City and it's just so freaking confusing. A: Do I have to install a new power supply to use EITHER netboot or GD Roms? My cab has just a Jamma loom, no JVS. B: For the work/money I have to put in to get...

Hi Guys, Recently dropped in my Sega Blast City chassis for repairs at my local arcade repair shop - he mentioned the existing flyback was finished on the MS2930 board. I found an ebay seller located in Spain that is selling aftermarket flybacks for the 2930. Does anyone have experience in...

Hey Guys, Bit of a newbie here - I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in terms of what wiring I require for my new Sega Blast City Control Panel. My old CP was for 2 Players - 4 buttons per player only. The new updated CP I have purchased now has 6 buttons per player. My...

Hi Guys, Would anyone know what this part is called that sits behind the Marquee image at the top of the Blast City? Mines showing heat decay damage and would like to replace the part of possible. Cheers.

Wanting to buy Guilty Gear XX Control Panel to suit blast city cabinet. Looking for the one in the attached pictures. (Sol Badguy) If anyone has one for sale, please let me know 🙂 Thanks 🙂

I picked up an extra Blast City Control Panel Housing a while back. Never hurts to have an extra, but I'm mainly planning to use it for Monkey Ball so I don't have to swap out hardware on my Blast and can also use it on my supergun. I think it had been "restored" in China; some components seem...

Hi, I am currently restoring a Blast City cabinet. I am looking for a suitable condition blast city topper, as the current one I have is cracked. Happy with either... a topper with original inserts or just the the hard plastic topper without the inserts. I am located in Western Australia, I...

I've been slowly disassembling and cleaning my Blast City. The inside of the front and back smell pretty strongly, and when I first left it on for about two hours, it made the room stink for a week. I'd really like to get it as clean as possible while I have it apart. So far, I've sprayed Krud...

The bottom panel on my Blast City has a couple pretty substantial rust spots that I'd like to clean up. I got some of the gunkier stuff off with a little steel wool, but the bigger spots need something more powerful. Any suggestions? The kick plate isn't rusty, but I plan to polish it with some...

I'm taking apart my Blast City for a cleaning, and I have everything but the two connectors under the coinbox (pictured) removed. All the wires going to the IO board are still ziptied together, so I'd prefer to leave the other ends alone and just disconnect these two connectors. Any advice on...

I've been using a Vessel Megadora 980 Impacta P2x100 #2 to take apart my Blast and it's been working great on all the screws so far. It's too long to get the ones that hold the coinbox door in place, so I got this piece of shit Hozan JIS-4 JIS Screwdriver Set with a couple shorter screwdrivers...

It's a bit tight, but I was able to mount both a CPS2 with a Darksoft multi and a Naomi 1 with Sega IO and @Lemony Vengeance 's CPS2-Sega IO adapter on their own wooden boards and fit them (individually) in my Blast City. Figured I'd post some details here if anyone's ever looking for resources...

Somehow mangled the USB port on my Naomi 2, any suggestions? Anyone have a digikey link for the part. I would love to repair rather than replace the filter board. Pics https://imgur.com/a/Zh7rONv

Hey everyone. I recently ordered some panels from Alberto and had some Blast City 100Yen stickers included to help anyone out in the US looking for one without having to pay the international shipping fees. I have 10 left, price is $8 each plus either stamp shipping or $3 for tracking, PayPal...
