Following this road trip in UK
Let's start to work on the world famous Capcom game...
- no, this IS not Street Fighter II 
- ... let's name it : GHOSTS'N'GOBLINS
When I plug the game and put a coin, I can start a game...and I can hear all the sounds... but the screen display nothing. Let's remove the back door :
Good, it's the original capcom board
Its identity, a sitcker on the cabinet :
Something funny here : The sticker says : "GHOST'N'GOBLINS" ... without the "S" for GHOST
S.
I use to see different spelling for that game over the Internet...even different on the flyer itself
... interesting isn't it? ... but let's stand that the original spelling for this game is the one written on the game itself (over the panel overlay, side arts and marquee)
GHOSTS'N'GOBLINS 
The serial is also available on the monitor brackets :
At this point, even If I can play the game 'blind' ... I'm not sure everything will be right on screen : maybe graphics garbages or missing... who knows? So, before trying to repair the monitor, let's build a custom 'display adapter' CAPCOM to SCART (true RGB'ed of course
)
YEAHHAAW !!! The game works fine
For this very special game, I mean : full of warm colors, smooth scrooling, cutes characters... I want to use a brand new monitor of course
So I'll remove the current dead monitor which I'll keep for a later restoration. Let's disassemble all the stuff in order to remove it. The main bezel first :
...a wood frame, and under it... a black paper bezel :
This is it ... naked :
Now, let's prepare the *brand* new display... thanks god, the screen is -as curved- as the original one
Disassembled... and fixed on a monitor frame ... ready to go :
Red/Green/Blue/Sync/Ground wires are now going into the SCART connector in order to input the original RGB signal. You all know here that the result is 100% arcade accurate. I'll also input correct voltage for switching automatically the TV into RGB/Scart mode :
Hey, I didn't notice... the SN is also written on the metal board box...
It's like a car : SN written everywhere (too bad it's just a sticker and not 'carved'
)
Ok, let's try how it works with this display (not the same used to check the board in the beginning of this topic)
Yeah Baby YEah!
Ok, I'll have to found back the maintenance code in order to set the horizontal size of the screen, but... it's alive... and sometime it's good to have *almost* nothing to do... and having time for playing games... and especially this one
Ok, now that my mind is clean (I mean "the hardware is working"), the next step will be some cleaning ... stay tuned
