    What sort of input does the monitor take?
    could you hook it up to a jamma harness?

    4 BNC connectors - R, G, B & Sync

    Think it would be doable to connect a supergun or something up to it yeah

    None that I noticed, I'll have a more in depth look at it today & see how it looks. As for replacing screen parts for burn in...no idea how that works on projection systems at all. I'd guess any burn in is 'burned' into a lens or something rather then the screen/plastic/canvas?

    Looked it up as a matter of interest, the burn is in on the lamps alright. So I guess if it came down to it then your idea of throwing a plasma in would do the trick.

    Although if there's no screen burn now, I seriously doubt there ever will be :)

    Actually, here's a question I've always meant to put to people with loads of cabs - do you ever power them all on at once? Would be amazing for that true arcade feel but jeez, talk about some drain on the grid!

    There certainly doesn't seem to be any noticeable burn in anyway, so happy days for now.

    Well atm I can't, the two Taito's are in dire need of restoration. I wouldn't chance powering them up at all. I'll be replacing everything in them, psu's looms & screen etc. My Tekken 3 cab has a monitor fault atm too, It needs a new flyback...really must get around to ordering one & replacing it! I ill power them all up though at some stage when they're ready :D

    Oh yeah, I remember you said that about your Tekken 3 cab. That had HV arcing out of it didn't it? Scary stuff :eek:

    It's a Hantarex polo 25 right? Might be easier just to get a new chassis for it? I'd say they're cheap enough.

    Yep HT arcing coming from where the HT lead exits the flyback...seriously unpleasant stuff. Grantspain has replacements so I'll give that a go first before going down the chassis road. Think he said about €40/€50 for it, really must get around to ordering one!

    It's a shame these 14 inch multi sync monitors Jeff is selling that I mentioned to you before clock in so expensive, they'd look amazing in your Taitos!. He finally has some back in stock.

    So after about ten minutes of being powered up, it freezes with a "Required Voltage Too Low" message. How very unlucky, I'm sure the seller wasn't aware of this issue at all at all...

    Now to troubleshoot!

    Doesn't this purchase technically mean you've got the best dedicated arcade experience in Ireland?

    Argh! serious? :(

    Probably a really easy fix...but argh! How annoying!

    I'd like to give the seller the benefit of the doubt and say it happened during moving, but hmmm. I doubt you tested it for 10 minutes before disassembly :( - the perfect crime!

    The folks on AO & J+ seem to think the Power Supply needs to be replaced. I'll have to somehow connect the Model 2 harness to a standard Jamma psu. Didn't get around to ordering one yet though, will get to it as soon as I can

    Yup..PSU was gone on it for a start
    Now looks like the whole board stack is fecked as well.
    Model 2 boards are a pricey affair and rare to come by.
    Its a real problem when getting these model 2 cabs.

    Yeah moe from videotronics sent me one...arrived in 2 days but turned out that was dead as well! He sent me another straight away no questions asked.
    Good service

    Grand, fired him off an email there to see if he has another one.

    If I start it from cold I can usually clear the first stage before it'll lock up, once it does though it usually won't last long on a restart. barring taking some readings with a multimeter I havn't messed with it much incase I'm doing damage to the game boards or anything
