Universal Cosmic Guerilla

[HarrySeven]

I swore blind I wouldn't buy any more cabs, but hey...

Arrived from Martin today - ex-DoL.

Given it a preliminary clean - came up a treat.

It
does need some TLC...General spruce-up, T-Moulding replacing, New
joystick ball, Marquee brackets and Coin door powder-coating, etc -
nothing major cosmetically though.

Next job - get into it and test the goddamn thing!

That really is quite a nice cab. Lots of art.

Paul.

I seem to remember P-man having the rear plexi art hanging on his wall in his "cyber lair"

 

[HarrySeven]

Just got the back off the cab via the tried and trusted methods of brute force and ignorance...

Very clean inside!

 

[HarrySeven]

I'll power it up tomorrow and let you know what transpires...

 

[forcefulfil]

looking good!
fingers crossed for the switch-on

 

[Fuzzy]

What an awesome looking cab - that artwork's beautiful!

 

[HarrySeven]

By the way...who supplies T-Moulding for Universal stuff? Anyone in the UK?

 

[HarrySeven]

See, this is why I shouln't have bought another cab - particularly Universal, as I love their artwork.

I'm now finding myself trawling t'interweb, suffering from enormous WANT for anything Universal-upright-shaped...Grrrr...

 

[HarrySeven]

Well...powered it up...and...

It's Alive!

(with a few errors...)

Within 20 seconds...it's dying...

and within 30 seconds...it's given up...

 

[HarrySeven]

Anyone good at fixing Universal PCB's?

 

[Macro]

CG can be a real PITA - odd CPU and unidentified CRTC controller (which generates much of the timing for the entire PCB - so if it doesn't get initialised properly ....)

although since that one is basically running, I'd start by looking at the ram - 4116 I think.

I have a PCB for it hiding away, with a minor fault (so I was told) - have to have a look and see

 

[Alpha1]

wtf it just fired up? hehe that is super cool!

 

[guddler]

My BZ just fired up. But the PCB was resetting and I'm still working on that. Everything else is working though "out of the ship"

 

[HarrySeven]

Just cleaned/reseated stuff:

Some random GFX, seems stuck in attract mode and won't coin up.

 

[HarrySeven]

Monitor adjusted:

 

[guddler]

Think that's what you call a result!!

 

[HarrySeven]

Bit cleaner:

Rear plexi and Joysick sorted...

Still some CP work to do...
