Turtles arcade machine

[chudfernandez]

Hi all, I'm here to seek advice about an upright gaming machine I've inherited. Thanks in advance for all your assistance.

Hi,

There are quite a few different things that people will likely ask, but I'm sure peole will be able to help. Have you got a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade cab? Is it a 2 player or 4 player cab?

There's also Turtles in Time - the sequel.

Is it a Turtles branded cabinet, or in a generic cabinet?

Is it working?

And then there's the question of if you look at the circuit board that drives it all, whether it's an original Konami board or an unofficial boot.

Thanks DrGlitch, I've uploaded some pics which I hope will help

Regarding its condition, it turns on and seems to run. Music plays, buttons respond. However, nothing whatsoever appears on the screen :s

Looks a clean enough cab - is there any 'neck glow' on the monitor when the room is dark, be very careful around the monitor when it is switched on though as it is very dangerous to touch the wrong thing.

from the sound of it it is a monitor problem which in my experience is always the easiest thing to fix on a cab - at the very worst you just send the chassis off to Gunblade and he can sort it.

I am sure the resident experts will be along soon but you are definitely in the right place on this forum!

Thanks chubsta and Milky.

I can report that there is no neck glow...

Is this likely to be sellable you think? I am total noob if you hadn't already gathered, and rather than wanting to use it, I'm just unsure of whether it's an ebay idea or something to take to the dump.

Again, thanks for advice

It's not the nicest looking of cabs but appears solid enough, the monitor will be either a voltage problem or caps/chassis repair, if It were me I would probe separate the cab and the board for sale purposes.

Also what's your location in case a member is close you you?

It's not a dump job in my opinion. It's not worth much but it'd do someone nicely with a bit of tlc. The board has some value, a working original Turtles goes for around £80, a bit more if Turtles in Time.

Thanks again all. I've put the whole thing on ebay. Collection from Ashford, Kent
