...........There was an electrical smell that was very present in the air..

Well the good news is Jomac said to send over the chassis and he'll have a look over and hopefully get it to a working state!
Fingers crossed!
Absolutely cannot fault Jomac!
The chassis was sent on Thursday, he received it around midday, worked on it, replaced the flyback and did a service on the chassis, sent it off that evening!
I received the chassis back late this afternoon and the results are very good!!
Joey sent the flyback back to show where it exploded
I decided to install the monitor with the sega frame...
Silly me made a lot of assumptions.. The chassis had nowhere near the amount of clearance required. Since I still wanted the sega frame, I just grabbed some spare chipboard and used it to mount the chassis
So after triple checking the wiring... It was finally time to give her a test!
Voila!
She's alive and actually looks better than what it did.
I'm so glad that Jomac was able to fix this 31khz chassis, yes it's a weiya Chinese chassis but I'm ok with that.
Really not looking forward to the day Jomac retires as he will leave a massive void in the arcade community here in Australia. Hopefully he has an apprentice or something
I decided to put the back, bezel and cp all together just for the hell of it... The cab is really looking very close to completion!
Here's a few closer shots of the Naomi
Lastly, the speak grills have been painted satin black, but didn't realise I haven't got a glue gun, so I won't be able to fit it back to the bezel until I get a glue gun.
The decision for a marquee is proving to be a difficult one... 90% of the game played on this cab will be MVC2, so it only makes sense to get a MVC2 marquee, but at the same time, one of the biggest reasons I wanted the marquee of this cab is for the blast city style topper... Decisions, decisions decisions!
