Arcade Lifestyle / Trying to restore a Zaccaria Crazy Kong Cabinet
« on: July 09, 2011, 06:21:35 PM »
Hello all
After playing around with mame on pc,i already know it didnt give me the feeling as the old arcade.
So what im gona do build a mame cabinet or go for a original cab.
After looking around a lot,i finaly found a cabinet that i realy wanted to have Crazy Kong.
I spent a fortune on that game when i was young
When i got home me friends were already waiting to come play
back in the 80' we also played the games together.
So we spent a few hours playing,and i can tel you,was a long time ago we had so much fun.
6 adult talking about the good old days,and fighting who's next
This is my first cabinet,and after yesterday im sure i want more.
But now i need to focus on my CK cab,and try to fix it to his original state.
First some pics
.
Control panel seems to be oke some light burns in the plastic, grafic is 100% .
Marque also is 100%.
Bezel,were did it go,so i need to find me a new one,if there are any.
joystick,as seen on the foto above,i dont think this is the original one,it doesnt go smooth either.
Buttons seem to work wel and seem to be original.
As seen on foto above there is a new power board,i also took the original one.must look wat is wrong with it
previous owner said it became hot,but working,somthing with the fan maybe.
PCB looks fine to me,i cleant it,have taken the chips out to clean the feet.
Coin door,the previous owner gave me the zaccaria one but havent got a clue were it is now.
The thing were you put in your coins,is from williams now,so need to find a new one.
Monitor,starts pretty quick,looks fine 2 but then again i dont know much about these things.
Side art is stil desent,some marks but he it 30 years old.
So lots of stuf to look up and see if i get some parts.
But first i wana fix the color problems i get in game.
i already cleant the pcb.
as seen in pictures above,mario is green,the monky is purpel most of the time.
just lots of things that dont look how they must.
i already tryd degaus,that solved some grafic problems,but not all
strange thing is wen i tryd it before transport to home mario was the right color
so is this a monitor or pcb problem
