Just recently purchased CPS2 A+B from @GoldenGlover , absolute top tier packaging and smooth transaction in all steps of the buy. Highly recommended.

Just thought I'd give a final update on this if anyone else experience this problem in the future. Finaly was able to sort out the issue and turns out it was due to a short between the legs of C405 on the pincuchon board, still some adjustments to do but seem to be fully working now :)

Got it back up and running again, the lightbulb test seem to have "failed" due to to low voltage from the Hantarex us 250 when it gave in 134.4V, hooking up a 110V ac transformer made it come up with somewhat correct voltages, however the main "culprit" was propably a stray soldering "blob" that...

I'v done a complete replacement of pots to no avail, had it up and running, but still not able to get full width, tried to change out the C37 to a total value of 0.68 (misread and thought that was value for 25", but turns out it's for 28"), however this caused the monitor to not power up again...

Haven't checked by briding yet, but the dip switches has been tried and it does not boot into service menu as I expected, so might be something wrong there also (though the switch itself do work it seem). Not 100% sure (as I'v never seen this game in person), but just thought the colors seem...

ok, seem there is no connection between R and gnd, or 15 and gnd, with the switch in different position, would guess I would need to jump between those (I tried holding in the switches on the has, but not sure if that would register on this setup). thanks

Have a Namco System 11 - Dancing eyes (that came with a cab I bough) and thought I'd try to get it up and running, the game seem to run, at least the attract mode, but the screen colors are way of, from what I'v seen online it's possible to adjust colors on these systems from the test menu ...

Don't think there is any more pots to adjust in regards to this matter afaik, so guess I'l have to look into other things...:)

I'v just replaced flyback transformer and a recap, fired it up successfully (I guess cabinet/monitor haven't been working for 15-20 years) so never seen it running myself. The 130V seem to be ok (The monitor is powered via a step down transformer so 110V (where it should be 128V), but afaik...

Ahh, yea, not that common around here it seems, any idea if carrefour does international shipping ? (I guess they generally don't have these in the stores ?) (Of to the canaries again in january, but doubt they have any readiliy available down there ?) :)

Any idea if it's very picky about that voltage or does it accept 110-115V input from a step down transformer ?

I'v got a Hantarex MTC 9110 monitor which is run from a Hantarex US 250 PSU, not sure how stable these are in the "long run" though it's recapped etc. Anyone know if it would be alright to hook up a step down transformer directly to the schasi of the monitor instead of going via the us 250...

Tested again with some other cmos chips, which also seem to work ok, but still trouble. Also the resistance between pin 28 and 26 of UJ11 looks fine, so should be ok. Can this kind of problem be caused by "rom rot" ?. I guess it's back to drawing board....(wherever that might be :))

Will do a check again later after I put back the jumper wire, just to recap how it acts now. with the jumper wire in place to cmos chip everything checks out in diagnostic, and the game runs attract mode ok (afaik), when trying to play it just doesn't act right. I removed the jumper again and...
