Arcade Lifestyle / Re: Battlezone Cabaret - dimensions needed for scratch build!
« on: March 21, 2014, 07:20:33 PM »
Not to my knowledge sir. Asteroids has a 'pointed roof' but the BZ has a flat one. As far as I know, the BZ and Asteroids Deluxe have the same profile, but the marquee is in a different place.

Arcade Lifestyle / Battlezone Cabaret - dimensions needed for scratch build!
« on: March 21, 2014, 02:53:41 PM »
Anyone have a Battlezone cabaret (or Asteroids Deluxe cabaret) they could measure for me? I actually have overall height/width/depth from the Atari flyer, but it wouldn't hurt to get them confirmed from an actual cab. Keen to get cracking on this scratch build - any help greatly appreciated!

Technical Area / Power Drift not working - can anyone help me???
« on: February 19, 2014, 06:47:11 PM »
I recently picked up a Power Drift upright but am having problems. I have signal to the monitor and neck glow, but no signs of board life except for power.
I am new to diagnostics, but I've checked the voltage to the two boards (5.1V) and I picked up a logic probe today and on the CMOS setting - Pin 18 shows:
1) Synchronized flashing LO (Green) and PULSE (Yellow), with pulsing HI (Red)
2) Steady LO (Green)
3) Steady LO (Green)
I've visually inspected both boards and they look good - no visible broken traces, or badly seated chips. I have no sound except for some slight crackle on power-on.
Any ideas of what to do next?

Hey John, I'm another 'crazy European' that subscribes to your YouTube channel - keep up the great videos! I only have a couple of cabs at present, but have just moved house and have gained a great garage space for future additions!

Be careful Bruno when you 'put your eye against it' 
Seriously though, I am in awe of your dedication. This is a huge undertaking and you have performed a miracle in getting this beast up and running!

« on: March 20, 2013, 09:35:29 PM »I do remember a specific program for my C64 which one could use so you could adjust the head of the tapedeck with a tiny screwdriver.
Ah, the Azymuth Tape Head Aligner, remember it well! Spent a fair while twiddling that little screwdriver before getting my 1541 disk drive!!
