I took note of the capacitors on the chassis and replaced the ones I could find locally.
This seemed to take care of the "shaking" issue!
The continuity on the degauss button checked out okay. I re-flowed the solder joint on the degauss coil connector, but there still seems to be an issue somewhere.
I picked up a few new carriage bolts and nuts, which of course, have the size/rating stamped into the head that will need to be ground down. I'll paint these black like the originals, but I'll have to wait a bit until the weather clears up.
Usually I try to keep every possible original piece I can, but as you see
:
Looks like it came off of a railroad track! For now the panel at least won't drop onto the players head
!
I checked the front speakers and couldn't get an ohm reading. Can't imagine why:
Oddly enough this is my second Namco cockpit with bad front speakers. I don't think I've ever come across a bad speaker in another game before. These, of course, have been my most rusty games thus far
!
I temporarily hooked in a speaker from a Nintendo cab.
UWA!
So much better! Need to get some new speakers - front sound amp/generation works fine
