Once it's suicided it can't be revived to the original state. I would recommend using it as a multicart

I'll definitely be doing that at some point. I have 4 more cabs on the way, though. 2 astro cities and 2 more diamond blues. On my first Astros I re-plated everything and it turned out great. When I do it again I want to make sure I make it worth it and hand them a big bag of items, haha.

The marquee is fixed ha. Just a few shots of the finished product.

The casters (once I got the damn things off) were a lil crusty. I didn't really want those rolling around on our carpet. I didn't find any info on how to take these apart and I didn't want to replace them with the wrong thing (couldn't find any matches locally) so instead I decided to clean...

Once I had everything apart I began cleaning. The hardest things to clean were these plastics. They are so incredibly fragile that just unscrewing them caused a couple of the posts to break. Unfortunate, but they did go back together ok. I just had to be very careful. Piece by piece I would take...

The first thing I noticed was how cloudy the displays were. I used to do repairs at an Apple Store and it reminded me of the old iMacs that didn't have the lcd adhered to the glass. Those used to get so gnarly! Here are a few more "before" photos: Curiously, both of these had their fans just...

Hello Everybody, I got a couple more projects knocked out over the winter and thought I'd share my journey. First, a big thank you to @Cereth and @Lemony Vengeance for the great deal and delivery! Some of you may remember there was a deal Cereth did as a "Black Friday" special in order to...

This is why I love that you post these. Great documentation for posterity. It's posts like these that you find 10-15 years later and go "damn, thank god for this dude. Even though all his photos are long gone" haha

You could grab some lapping compound and give that a go or just start with straight up sandpaper at 1000 grit and work your way towards 3000 (maybe go up to 10,000) and then polish compound etc. Idk. many ways to skin the cat I think. You can definitely get it sorted. Just takes lots of steps haha

I did. A belt-sander is the easiest but I just used a little hand-held random-orbit sander.

It should work for jamma, too. I'm quite certain... I haven't used jamma audio in a while haha. OP, How's the volume level on the PSU? Make sure that's turned up a bit. Also ensure the AMP_STBY is set to "Off" (left position).

Hard to say. That black residue is always around the flyback in my experience. Note it but I’d keep looking

If audio is coming out of the 3.5mm that will at least tell us audio is making it to the remote. Jumpers look ok. Which part of the documentation is unclear?

Make sure the volume knob on the mistercade PCB is all the way up
