I'll take the PD1843.. never heard back from the other person selling one lol

Hey all, Finally got a 2 Spicy set. Games were on location at a Round 1 Japan, then brought over here to die at a Round 1 USA. They've been through a tough life and trying to source a new set of guns has yielded no results. Anyone have either a full assembly, shell, or components floating...

I'll take this if you can cover shipping to 21791

Glad to see you on here! Cheers from Union Bridge!

This one? I’d love to know more about it and see it reproduced! Absolutely! The RAM in question are the ones located right above the larger EPROMs on the back PCB, right above CN3. I tried forcing a RAM clear by holding TEST and SERVICE (and both at once just for the hell of it) with no...

Hey all, I’ve hit a wall with this and could use a hand. I’ve burned ROMs for Gradius II for a Cue Brick PCB, and it’s telling me all of the RAM above the 4MEG EPROMs are bad. Specifically, M14, M15, M17, and M19 I’ve run the same ROMs in MAME with no issues. Does anyone have any idea why...

Interesting, I was under the same impression but flipping DIP4 on an untouched Pop’n 18 kit last week forced 15khz on a trisync.. I’ll have to mess around with that more.

Note that Pop’n forces 15khz in software unless someone hacks that out in bootscripts - so chances are the game is pushing 15khz

There is a white metal plate on the bottom left side of the air string.. From what I've heard stuff from KC has come unassembled, missing pieces, disconnected, etc.. I'm hoping it's just a matter of your connectors not being connected.

As nem said all DJ MAIN Pop'n cabinets shipped with Toei monitors. It's possible that someone replaced it down the line with a Nanao (probably an MS9) at some point since the Toei tubes have a high failure rate. When you say it's a Toshiba monitor I'm assuming you mean that it's a Toshiba tube...

I've swapped a mocap boxing board into a Para 2nd, but that required swapping over the security dongle as well. The security dongle is in a transistor style packaging. Not sure if any other viper games utilize that protection method, but I'd assume all of them do. If the RTC fails I believe you...

Retail PS3s display that same warning about overheating once the problem has occurred. You could fix the issue (ex: reflow, new thermal under/over GPU or CPU lid, new thermal pads, clean fans) and it’ll still say something about it. If you’ve taken all of the steps In parenthesis I wouldn’t...

I'll take one of these for a Vewlix - thanks for this!

Moisture in your tube / chassis can be super terrible. If you insist on washing it, as long as you keep it next to a running dehumidifier for a few days you should be good to go. I regularly wash older PCBs like K7000s before recapping, but I’ve not once had to wash a tube with water. You’re...

Hey Toby! Glad to see you on here! I’m trying to be a bit more social with arcade stuff too, since I’m working on opening up a place in Baltimore this year :)
