Mr First Vector ^_^

[acidburn]

Needs work but neither the less it's a Star Wars! (yes it works...kinda) And yes it IS the one that was recently advertised on eBay. I couldn't resist it was only 6 miles from my house what was I supposed to do!

Will give you some more info tomorrow it's getting late, I'm knackered and I have work in the morning at 6am

[smidsy]

Great!!! Was this the one that had a few picture issues? Which did just sound like adjustments.

@ Smidsy - Yep, but I suspect it's more than just an adjustment I intend to rebuild the monitor boards, ARII and PSU.

@ PAC-MAN - You know me dude I don't mess about

[imaji]

Nice That's one of the machines I'd love to have!

I just need a bigger house to keep all the cabs I want in

 

[acidburn]

Cheers guys. Will no doubt cost me an arm and a leg to sort it out but it will be worth it

Gonna give it a good internal clean tomorrow!

 

[samusaran]

does it play or not?

 

[acidburn]

does it play or not?

The game board seems fine so thats almost half the battle. You can play the game all sounds are present etc but the picture is messed up big time! Too wide, Too tall, Unstable and Dull / Out of focus.

I will be rebuilding the Brick, ARII and Deflection board and maybe the high voltage board. That doesn't really leave anything else

[samusaran]

3 million something? Don't know if that is good or not?

Amp is the money!!! Check both the SW PCB and Amp deflection board for XY size adjustment pots for picture. HV for focus.

Might be worth rebuilding the Amp boards, try Zektor or P-man or even dezbaz in Aus.
