![]() Picked this up from John(aka Kawydud@KLOV) in Strykersville, NY a few weeks back. ![]() I posted on KLOV that I was looking for a Robotron project and John stepped up and offered a project Robotron he just didn't have time for. It was semi-working... dirty... but most important of all... COMPLETE! ![]() As you can see from the above two pictures, the sides cleaned up pretty well with some soapy water and Magic Erasers. For the control panel, I decided there was just too much cigarette burning and ordered a replacement from ArcadeShop.com. ![]() As far as the semi-working part of this game... one game EPROM was bad, there were a few cold solder joints, some of the power connectors were burned, and the leg levelers were all messed up(yeah... I know... this didn't make it "not work" but it was something that needed to be fixed so I listed it). After getting it working, I did cap-kits on the sound board and power supply board. I also replaced a bunch of pins and connectors since they were pretty corroded. Then I decided to convert the memory over to 4164 RAM since they run cooler and draw less power. And finally I replaced the AA battery holder with a lithium button battery holder. The only thing left to do now is cap the WG4900 monitor. ![]() Then yesterday I replaced the capacitors in the Wells-Gardner 4900 monitor and the wifey helped me dial in the colors... since I'm about as color-blind as it gets. Basically the game has been fully gone over now and hopefully it will last for years to come... as long as I don't run it over with my truck that is. Damn this is a frustrating game!!! ![]() ![]() This custom neon sign was made by one Mr. Gu and can be purchased over at BacktotheArcade.com. Tell them Jeff sent you. ![]() There are some more pictures of the neon sign HERE... (AS OF: 06-22-2012)
