    Interflip Dragon issues - game won't start and repeater motor just runs

    PF screws falling out is pretty common... it sucks on games that have PCB's mounted to the bottom of the cabinets, especially when they are missing their protective covers! (p2K, some -35 etc etc) D

    SOLD MET LE, AC/DC LE, MB and CC

    I have given up trying to comprehend what games are selling for these days, because lets be honest none of it makes ANY sense. People are paying rediculous prices everywhere you turn, so the asking prices are going to continue to reflect it. It is what it is and the whole thing makes me ill...

    WTB Tales from the Crypt Handle

    Maybe these could be 3D printed if someone modeled it up? D

    MPU or Sound Board?

    The issue is absolutely with your MPU given your description. Have you tried swapping ribbon cables completely? Have you tried reseating the ASIC chip? I would start there as those are easy to do, but you will need a PLCC chip removal tool for the ASIC. Failing that I would have to look at...

    MMr Aux Power Outlet

    That would be a standard IEC female socket, universal voltage which is why they are used. All you need is the local country adaptor. D

    Help for MAME noobs

    60-1 boards are usually Jamma, so he could just get a J-pac and most of the work is done for him. D

    LCD apparently has been confirmed for a release later this year. This game looks pretty damn good. D

    Do you have the manual / lamp matrix chart? If not get it, if so check to see if all of your lamp issues have any correlation. On the same row or coloumn? If you can narrow that down you can begin to troubleshoot things better as it will give you specific drive transistors to look at, and...

    On the bench is fine, and it's only bad if you get a continuous tone when testing to the main tab. Logic probes are pretty standard, just graby anyone at Sayal next time you're there. D

    Yeah, you only need to check against the main housing tab (collector). The emitter lead would be connected directly to the 18V buss which is why you're seeing the "short" when measuring it across the test point. If you have a logic probe you can start to check the data being sent from the MPU...

    In the diode/buzz setting try putting one lead on TP8 and the other on each tab of the transistor. If you get a constant buzz that transistor is bad. If they all still test good, you could have an issue upstream at U19 or U18, or even further up the chain. Could also be an issue with the...

    The lamp issues you guys are having are bad lamp matrix transistors. Sounds like one is locked on causing the shoot again insert to always be lit. The double lit inserts could be due to this one bad transistor but could also be another bad one in the matrix. Use your DMM and test all of the...

    TZ Rom (For no ghosting LED's?)

    The dimming feature only affects the GI, not the inserts. There is a non-ghosting patch that can be applied to I think any ROM, but it has to be done manually. Dave Astill will have all of the non-ghosting ROM's available, just reach out to him and he can burn you a set. (I believe he is...
