What a surprise !
a call to make appointment yesterday - delivery of a new cab ;D
despite some small setbacks because I am not on holiday but at work...
I ask the company to inform me on hour before, at 13:00 today the driver told me delivery at 13:30 !

Complete, but i don't know, i must buy a 110/220V converter before
look at this, I bought it a few years ago (2005) when I planned to get one. (and a few others :lol:)
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/snky_dsc_0089.jpg)
Yes it's an invasion !! :spaceace: :spaceace:

(Big :spaceace:'s go to the one telling me where this pic is from.... ;D)
ha, that's an easy one (love that movie): invasion of the body snatchers (the original of course)
and congrats to HI on that galaga - welcome to the club! now show us some photos of your lineup please!

Ops, not easy to type when I'm with my daughter who have almost all my attention, almost all the time :P ...most of you already know that 8)
COngratulation Hi :D

OK, :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace: for Ully for the right movie, but one :spaceace: subtracted because it's not the original (the original is from the 50's). I think the 78 version was GREAT, and it scared the hell out of me back then, ESPECIALLY that scene...definitely go see this movie if you haven't !! We went to see Horrible Bosses (not bad) last week and Donald Sutherland had a small role in the beginning of the movie, man is he old now. He played the most lovable guy you can think of, but I STILL didn't trust him because of his role in Invasion of the body snatchers) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Back on topic: Great you guys managed to do another group buy !! Now the race is on: who will have it running first ;)
-
you made it too easy Andre..

Be sure to watch it at a rare moment that you are alone (just before you go to sleep) and darken the room...
@Ully, ahh, another body snatched.....and I hear there are more in danger here ! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Today, I went to a shop to buy a step down convertor.
Then I could test the new cab with an old us power cable.
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/f1dw_dsc_0102.jpg)
and ....
Absolutly nothing. no picture, nothing.
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/otdj_dsc_0103.jpg)
I check the voltage on the monitor and ok 115 V and behind the marquee ok 115 V too.
the monitor is dead :twisted:
I do not have spare for the 115V bulb, -- > 220 V for testing
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/g4zu_dsc_0104.jpg)
Let's go to my basement to retrieve a NOS monitor that I got a few years ago.
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/bdpk_dsc_0105.jpg)
the old monitor removed
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/vife_dsc_0106.jpg)
Burn with galaga AND Qix
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/4xso_dsc_0108.jpg)
it's a POLO , I must make some changes to put in the galaga cab.
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/0d36_dsc_0110.jpg)
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/20nh_dsc_0111.jpg)
Ready to test :D
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/39xt_dsc_0112.jpg)
In the cab

(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/ylam_dsc_0116.jpg)
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/e532_dsc_0117.jpg)
I check the pinout of the amp's connector from the PCB to monitor
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/tm5k_dsc_0118.jpg)
AMP 6
1 Red
2 Green
3 Blue
4 Sync H & V
5. Ground
6.
AMP 3
1 +12V
2 Ground
3.
The new Monitor has the amp universal 6 connector but with separate sync and no AMP 3 12V to the video PCB.
Here is the status with ; no separate Sync and no 12V to the PCB video.
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/gy61_dsc_0123-800.jpg)
I have the background of the game with colored dots..
-
in fact :
after brainstorming and test
the amp connectors from the old monitor are :
AMP 6
1 Red
2 Green
3 Blue
4 Ground x2
5.
6.
AMP 3
1 Sync
2 Sync
3.
with correct wiring I have this now
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/m7ds_dsc_0127.jpg)

After adjusting the 5v, I retrieve the sometimes the background of the game.

I can believe it !
(http://img2.uplood.fr/free/a7he_dsc_0143.jpg)
Now i must rotate the monitor because i do not find any switch on the pcb to do that.
but i'm afraid to switch off the cab (like the breakout a few days ago)
I must rebuild the panel too.
