On the topic of voltage checking: This is a great way to check voltages without busting out the multimeter, JAMMA Passthrough Tester with Buttons https://riddledtv.com/arcade/jamma_testers.html When I'm switching PCBs I'll put that guy on the harness and power up. Then, adjust to 5v, power off...

Legend as always. Excited to hear the resolution on that chassis when you figure it out!

Yeah I'd bet it's fine; but it can't hurt to double check. Maybe just grab the default one from MisterAddon's GitHub to try out. Hopefully this gets resolved soon! edit: I'm just realizing my original post autocorrected neckboard to neckbeard and I'm not changing it, lmao.

To preface, I highly doubt this is the issue; but the neckbeard might be able to sit down a little bit further. Of course, be careful. Don't want to neck the thing. Just looks like there's a bit of space there if you haven't already tried ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. A couple other things come to mind: 1) do...

Dropped these parts off today at the powder-coating place. They will sandblast them all and put a fresh coat on there. We found a pretty good match so I'm happy about that. Cost is about $300 for the whole thing. Looking forward to seeing how these turn out. They're about 2 weeks out; but I'm...

Happy to hear that! Let me know if I can clarify anything for you.

I put together a little video tonight on how to disassemble a few things in case it helps people in the future: View: https://youtu.be/MTrUsybHri8 I went over AMP-UP connectors, coin reject button, cash box coin counter removal and re-installation, and grounding the cab (US). It's a pretty...

Today I reached out to one more powder coating place. I think the best course of action right now is to go in and see how good of a match we can get on a powder coat. When it comes time for paint or gel, I can have them match the doors. One thing that has been bothering me is on the back of...

Yeah, seems places around here are $100 minimum and I used two colors so that’s two batches. Kind of annoying, but I got everything I need done between two cabs so at least it’s “one and done”

Parts have come back from the Zinc Plater! I got an email last night saying the parts were ready for pickup so I left first thing this morning to go pick them up. As we were looking over the parts the manager noticed that some of the screws didn't come out very good; so he offered to have them...

A little bit of good news. I got the noise to be far lower after removing the flyback completely and resoldering it. I cranked it down first and then held it tight against the board as I soldered the first 4 points or so. It’s a night and day difference. Still in the market though!

I am hoping to keep this as an ms8 and try the fixes above. That said if I change my mind I’ll definitely reach out. Thanks homie!

Hell yeah. Thanks dude. It has been driving me insane while I play 😂. I am looking forward to this tomorrow. I just got a fresh copper braid, too haha. Great timing.

Thanks man, so yes it does change in pitch and sometimes even stops as I push on it. It’s a high pitched whine. It used to go away completely by a small push but now it takes a bit of prodding before it goes silent. I did try to tighten it and reflow… but I didn’t try to remove solder, tighten...

Hey everyone, My ms8-29 has a flyback that is getting noisier and noisier over time so I’d like to replace it. Anyone have a spare working flyback? I’d even consider a whole chassis with a working flyback if the price is right. Thanks!

That’s a great idea. We actually just had someone come re-coat my parents boat last summer. I guess my only concern is if it’ll be too thick… but maybe it’ll be ok. I’ll check!

Hey again, everyone! Well I heard back from the painter and she said she’s only taking work where she has “creative freedom” and recommended one other place or to take it out of state… I’m definitely not hauling these parts out of state haha, the search continues. Fortunately I do have a buddy...

Thanks dude! I’m relieved, that’s for sure haha.

Hey welcome to the forum! I’m sure you’ll enjoy tinkering with the rest of us. 🙌🏻

Actually one of the places I contacted is just that! I’m really hoping she gets back. Her work looks way good. https://instagram.com/stripe_cult_painting?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
