    Blast city psu

    No it doesn't. The monitor chassis gets 120v from your wall outlet. The PSU is just a passthrough for that voltage.

    UD-USB Decoders

    https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/molex/1731120256/9352853 I used these and they work fine for my config. They are not easy to screw in because you have to hit it with an angle but I never plan on removing the decoders. It secures it from getting yanked out and that’s what matters to me.

    MS-2930 Chassis removal

    Isopropyl 91% and a toothbrush or qtips. Just keep scrubbing it until it slowly breaks down. You might even have to pry it a little to loosen it from the frame.

    Blast city nanao pincushion issue

    It looks like the flyback screen pot is set too high and the rgb probably needs adjustments too. Was there something wrong with the flyback that they needed to change it? Hopefully they did not put a Chinese flyback in there, because they’re not very good compared to the original. I’ve never...

    Blast City monitor (MS-2931) not turning on

    The caps on the daughter board for the high voltage look original. I believe there was a theory that those caps being out of spec can cause the chassis to toast up the tube.

    MS-2930 Chassis removal

    There's usually 3, but I only see two in your pics Yes. Just make sure you put them back the same way they were connected. Otherwise you might get a flipped screen. You can also remove the entire metal chassis frame by removing the screws underneath the monitor frame.

    MS-2930 Chassis removal

    1. Remove the screws that are holding the black plastic frame down to the metal frame. They are on the rear side of the chassis. There are usually 2 screws holding down ground cables, which your last photo confirms 2. Disconnect the red degauss cable from the chassis 3. Disconnect the AC line...

    Blast City monitor (MS-2931) not turning on

    Honestly with a 2931 chassis, I would just send it to someone who knows how to fix it. It’s a known problematic chassis and very difficult to troubleshoot. If you have never done any CRT monitor work, this is not the chassis to start on imo. It’s the reason why people suggest not getting a...

    NAC Splitfire: JAMMA streaming solution

    We tried using one of those AIO gbs-c units for cps3 capture and it didn’t work out well because it was missing the clock generator mod and some other cap mods. So I would follow up with the seller if it has these. The gbs-c isn’t focused on arcade hardware from the research I’ve done too.
