Some progress...

I managed to source a Rolling Thunder PCB with known sound problems. It arrived yesterday and was quite possibly the WORST packing ever for a PCB  :shock:. One sheet of bubble wrap that wasn't even wrapped round the board with the sound daughterboard just placed on top to rattle around during transit :arrow:



I know the sound is faulty so decide to plug it in without the daughterboard attached. It gets further than my existing faulty board, cycling through the sprites on power up but resetting itself   :?:arrow:



However, I can now successfully get into the self test mode..... Hmmmm. Ok, lets try attaching the daughterboard from my existing faulty board. The sound should work on that one. Here it is all attached  :arrow:



Ok.... lets give it a whirl. Fingers crossed...   :-\:arrow:



YES YES YES!!!! IT WORKS!!!! The sounds also works perfectly.... Hurray  :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

Well I managed to get a pair of NOS LS-30 rotary joysticks. Damn they are nice!!!! Now what type of cabinet would work perfectly for horizontal and vertically orientated games.....That brings me nicely onto:

Drool.... Egret II....

Hmmm, Japanese cabinet import... $805... Not too far up the road for collection. What can I sell to raise the cash and can I convince the missus?!?!?!?  :-\

I'm off to see vib_ribbon tonight so can salivate over his ones.... :lol:

Well thats some cracking progress!  ;D

Your board starts up, mine is as dead as a dodo. I have a lead for a new board(s), just waiting on a confirmation while they are being tested. Hopefully I can get my baby back up and running soon!

Oh yeah, Bruno what is the best material to get my Marquee printed on? Most places seem to do stickers, wheras the original is a type of thin plastic.....

You probably mean this site:

http://www.arcadeshop.de/Joysticks-Rotary-Joystick-SNK_538.html

They don't sell them any more and yes they were VERY expensive! I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled for panels or sticks. There are two on US EBay atm, although one is missing the joystick knob. I've asked him if he will ship to the UK.. We shall see.

I'm selling my AWSD cab at the moment, probably too expensive for what you are looking for?? GBP600.

Now all you need to do is sell me those SNK LS-30 joysticks, to go with the Ikari Warriors board you sold me :lol: I've had a look and they are bloody difficult to get your hands on. I would eventually like a dedicated Ikari Warriors cabinet. Not seen any for sale, but would have nowhere to put it anyway so can only dream   :'(.
