I have no evidence, but I believe the only legit Hyper SFII boards are the 1 board metal-cased versions. Is that correct @Prairiedillo ?

Does this model support the ability to cycle through attract modes?

Did you end up living with the scratches?

That's been my experience with polishing. Granted I have no idea what i'm doing lol. I had a tube that had a Heater/Cathode short along with weak guns and scratches. So I figured I had nothing to loose so I gave it a shot and got about the same result.

Convergence is a funny thing. I absolutely hate to mess with it as it’s a rabbit-hole for sure. Many times, the test patterns are really the easiest way to drive yourself mad. i have a monitor that’s similar where I just can’t get that last bit to cooperate, but in game it looks fine...

Anyone see this...

This shot really shows off the difference the fresh paint makes: Looks great!

Bump this; consider trades also.

I have a 12mhz “dash” A-board thet is dead. I have no clock on pin15 on the 68000. Tracking it back, it goes via FB66 to the oscillator. I have no clock on the output of the oscillator either. I do have +5v present on it though. Is it possible for an oscillator to just fail? Anything else...

Bump for updated pictures and information.

Here’s another one. It’s funny because certain characters are all messed up (ryu and dhalsim) while others are perfect (chun li and blanka)

Fun update. I swapped the a-01 from a dead donor and now this board doesn’t boot. For funsies, I installed the garbled chip to the previously dead board and now it starts with the same issue. So I guess the dead board was due to a failed A-01. Fun practice. Im going to shelve this one until...

NOT an easy job!

IDK; the abilities of these communities astound me. We’ve seen reproduction Q-01 chips and I know the A-01 has been reverse engineered. Replacements are probably possible but for two issues: 1) complexity to replace; not an easy job 2) availability of replacement A boards

Donor boards :(
