blast city

A record of replacing urethane edges with rubber edges. I am sharing the method I used to replace the speaker surrounds.

OK, fuck, a GnG board I bought but never got working 15 years ago, turns out the guy I got it from had12v wired wrong on the Capcom adapter. It blew my NBA Jam PSU fuse 15 years ago , and blew my Blast City's fuse yesterday . The Blast PSU needed a recap anyway BAD so I finally recapped it and...

Hey everyone! I recently purchased a Blast City cab for import (through Cosmo-Logi) and I'm working on what will go in it once it gets here. Wherever possible I've tried to do my research, but I'm a complete arcade cabinet newbie and there is a LOT to learn. I was hoping I could kind of think...

Putting this out to see if anyone is interested in parting with their groove on fight cart for the Sega ST-V. I have Matrimelee running on my neogeo, and I want to feature groove on fight next to it:

Hey Guys, I have a blast psu that i recapped because the voltages were weak. After the recap the voltages have been great but very erratic. Both the 5v and the 3.3v will jump up and down ranging between 4.8 to 5.04v and the same is true for the 3.3v. Any suggestions on what to look at? Thank you.

I recently replaced the noise filter in my Sega Blast City with a Tokin MS-2032 noise filter which I purchased a few days ago. The new filter has a rating of 3A but the one that i have removed OEM is a TDK ZCB2206-11 I that is rated at 6A. I’ve noticed that Yaton Arcade lists the Tokin MS-2032...

Hey Everyone, Selling some extra stuff I have that I’m sure someone else can use: Blast City 100 Yen - Made by Alberto, $13/each Astro 100 Yen - I have one Hursit and one Barry Bruise, $12/each Sanwa Chocolate Set - purchased from ArcadeShock and decided on a different color scheme. Brand...

Hi everyone, I'm new here and could really use some help with my Blast City arcade cabinet. I recently picked up a Blast City, and everything seems to be working fine except for one big issue—there's no sound. I'll try to explain what's going on as clearly as possible because it's a bit tricky...

Hey All, I recently recapped my Blast City PSU and decided to test the voltages. I've completely maxed out the 12v potentiometer to get these readings. I completely reduced the 5v potentiometer to get these readings. The readings I'm getting when connecting a RetroCastle Mister Jamma are...

Hi everyone ! I have a problem with my Blast City, My left speaker and the sound potentiometer dosen't work. I thought it was a capkit problem so yesterday I've made the entier PSU + Sound amp capkit. Yesterday night after the capkit, still no sound on the left (tested both on mono and stereo)...

Hi All, I might have made a huge mistake. Generally, I've purchased most of my MiSTer FPGA solutions from MiSTer Addons and was getting impatient for his new dual ram MiSTercade. I made a rash decision and purchased the Retrocastle solution instead and I am now struggling to get this thing up...

Hi all, I'm looking for a Blast City service door. I know I can buy from Yaton but I'm hesitant to purchase from them after reading all the feedback. Thanks in advance.

Hi All, A few years back, Lex Terieur (not sure if he's active on this forum) shared images of his DIY speaker repair for the Sega Blast City. As many know, it's extremely difficult to find speakers that are perfect fits (other than KC's option). With that said, he created an STL file to easily...

Free to a good home. I believe it came off of a Sega Bass Fishing. Includes one of the J shaped retainers that grabs the cab back wheels. I'll have it up here until after Thanksgiving. If no one bites, I'll remove the hardware and trash the wood. Enjoy! -Anthony

Hi All! Long time lurker here. I was finally able to purchase a Sega Blast City a couple of weeks ago and am looking for parts in order to start restoring it. One item that's been slightly baffling is the control panel overlap. No insult to the ones sold and produced at the moment but there...

I recently refurbished a Blast City cabinet that was missing the HOT-1303 port cover. There are very few topics on the web that covered this and I couldn't find one to buy. @RandomRetro made a great simple design for 3D printing in this post in Arcade Projects that covered the topic. He also...

[EDIT]: See post below for what I actually disconnected. Taking the chassis and neck board off the MS-2930 from my Blast for my first monitor washdown. Just have a couple questions: Any tips on removing the PCB from the frame? Does it slide out of the black plastic case somehow? Yep, 3...

I'm refurbishing a Blast City that we totaled out from a recent container order. Really bad cracks that kept growing as we moved it around the shop. I took it to a local auto paint supplier and we matched the paint to the code 18S6718 from the Valspar automotive book. It's an exact match! This...

Hi all, I've been reading to figure out how to get my VF4:FT disc working in my new Blast City and it's just so freaking confusing. A: Do I have to install a new power supply to use EITHER netboot or GD Roms? My cab has just a Jamma loom, no JVS. B: For the work/money I have to put in to get...
