Seriously though, since they are all logic you can measure them with a logic probe and maybe find floating in or outputs to start with?

wow, andré! this really is more than i would have expected to happen. picture doesn't look too shaky, but a cap kit will probably do the trick. what type of monitor is that?

about the pcb: do you have ANY IDEA how to tackle that baby or should i simply try to get a working pcb? i could ask around the german forums first and then extend my search. just let me know ...

thx for trying this and for making the videos - this way it felt like i was there. the keys inside the coin box fit to the cancelled road trip - some day are just perfect  ;). was the coin door unlocked or did you have to drill it open as well? it hurts a little bit to see that old original lock go, but what can we do now. no hard feelings though, i have just received 40 replacement locks from the states  ;)

btw, i'm struggling hard with the reassembly of the paperboy controller, could have really used your help  8) THIS IS DIFFICULT!!!
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

The picture shaking is hidden by the size and encoding of YouTube. It's definitely there. Indeed a cap-kit might help. The monitor is a Motorola XM 501/701. Bob Roberts has a kit, but we just ordered from him. Might be worthwile to find a cap-kit list instead.

If you can find a cheap working Breakout PCB it may be worthwile. I can try some basic stuff, but my PCB repair skills are limited and it would take me a lot of time to find it out. Alternatively you can contact Andreas who is a master at PCB repair.

The coindoor was unlocked, the op removed all his lock remember.... ;) (All the same key)

About the re-assembly of the controller: don't overestimate my powers in mechanical stuff ! I seriously look up to the task of re-assembling my SW yoke !

i have a cap kit for that monitor right in front of me, i ordered it quite a while ago for my gran trak 10. i'm pretty sure that the GT10 monitor has other issues which i would like to discuss with you when you're here  ;)

i'll try a WANTED thread on the german forums first, perhaps some has one lying around. if not, i'll either contact andreas or look for one on klov.

I just checked the weather forecast and it looks like there is NO snow predicted this time !!!

Instead, the contrast couldn't be much bigger: it's going to be one HOT weekend !!!!!

And because of the Dutch reaching the finals, I renamed this trip to the "Wrong-way-around" ORANGE roadtrip !  ;D ;D ;D ;D

And it will remain a wrong-way-round trip, because instead of the Breakout (which already reached Ully's place) I will bringing yet another precious cab to it's owner :)

Have a nice trip!

I had something similar with the keys of my Joust: the seller told me he was not able to find out them, but during unloading i heard something metallic hitting the ground... ??  :lol:
