Yes, that is correct! Manufacturing is a strong word, I wire them up in my workshop ;) I currently have two 1.5m cables left and one 0.5m. I can make them up to 3m. Scart or VGA at the other end is possbile. But...I'm shipping from Sweden, so it might now be worth the shipping cost for some. But...

I've added another version with a lower top tab (2mm) of the extender. Check it out: https://www.printables.com/model/1161794-new-astro-city-psu-400-5198-01y-voltage-pot-extend I might have some people sending over different PSUs for me to fix extenders for these as well. Will report back when...

Maybe the pot soldered to the board is higher up than mine, or it's a different pot. I can modify the model to avoid this but it comes with a risk of the extender lifting up from the pot. But I don't think it's a big issue.

PLA TL;DR It's safe and you will not get a shock using it. It's the janky screwdriver that will ;) Good point! PLA is non-conductive, although it can absorb moisture over time. That doesn't mean it will make it conductive but degrade the PLA plastic, maybe. This voltage pot extender is not...

Exactly! The PSU is also mounted on the bottom of these cabs, so you're on all fours, and with surgical precision, you're trying to hit the tip of the pot while looking at the voltmeter on the JAMMA. Very cumbersome!

Adjusting the +5V on the 400-5198-01Y PSU inside of a New Astro City is pretty cumbersome. You need a small screwdriver, lower it through a hole, and then hopefully hit the pot inside the PSU to adjust. That's why I made this thing to make that process easier. This pot extender is keyed to...

Hello! I stumbled upon this issue as well at my friend's place last weekend. This is related to the 400-5198-01Y PSU inside a New Astro City. I tried different resistors as a load on the +5V rail and concluded that 8 ohms (8.2 in my case) was the sweet spot. 10 or 12 ohms didn’t draw enough...

Sure did! Thank you for the hook up. The chassis needs some love, but I'm hopeful it will work too.

Hello! My name is Victor, born in 1987. I’m a father and live in Gothenburg, Sweden. I’ve been a long-time outside lurker and a self-taught electronics enthusiast who’s been tinkering with a little bit of everything for over 15 years as a hobby. The last few years I’ve been a lot into...

I've just been catching up to this thread and I'm very excited for what this will evolve into! Great job so far, everyone involved!

It sure is! He got tired of it not working so I picked it up from him. Anyway, I'm in the process of repairing it and the reason why I got confused was that I measured continuity on a SEGA Astro City this weekend and the tube and metal chassie was not grounded together, in other words, there...

Hello! A bit of a weird question but I have a somewhat of a frankenstein Naomi Universal cab that I need help with figuring out how to connect ground GND/earth or not. So, the Naomi Universal cab I have is just a monitor bolted onto the frame. The monitor is a 39" A90LSW095X flat tube with a...

Hello everybody! I'm looking for faulty or non working nanao ms8/ms9/ms-29XX chassies. Not completely trashed chassie but you know, possibly fixable. I would prefer to find a seller in Europe for easier handling with shipment. Please reach out if you have something! Thanks!
