Moving a COMPLETE monitor is _not_ the same as acting on the tube.

Also, the high voltages are nasty,

Yes, it's a nasty bite (and yes, I've experienced it one time).

You 're right

but as posted on BYOAC (a forum as long as I know in which you are signed too and extremely serious on informations given) it is safer,

Many don't have the same knowledge you have as us in muching inside a monitor (where to touch and where not)

For giddy it would be better to discharge the monitor and proceed with the swap to avoid any 1/99% risk

I've got my JAP 1st run Ps3 (CECHA)

is it only on the playstation network europe or available on PSN JAP

My PS3 being 100% Jap goes to the Jap PSN (I always want to play preview games directly and first than Europe and US servers always extremely slow)

Mav

your right, DL is not jamma cab!

I know, it is not an easy fix if it stops or must be restored

Keep it always in mind

It's a shame about the voltage difference, it would have been to have run the new monitor from the original psu,

Don't get demotivated

You can do it just get what it needs to make it work properly with loseless efficency

how do I know that I have the original psu, what does it look like...what do you look for to recognise it as the Atari original!

Thanks for all your help!


Thanks again john

I see to make a photo of mine and post it maybe tomorrow

Mav

Ive never done a monitor swap before.

Giddy, one word: BEWARE

it is better you call a technician

before doing anything you have got to discharge the tubes

I thought that if the monitor was from a uk jamma cab it should work in a UK DL cab.

Nothign is sure at this life, consider that each dedicated machine is made to work on its own

they are not jamma so keep this point in mind

Appreciate the any help with this seeing as I'm installing the
monitor tmr.

Discharge the tube,
placeit in the Dl cab and then use the power supply of the hantarex (that should be 150 or 250)

Let us know

and don't be dumb with monitors' discharge procedure

Mav

Hi thanks for the info, but I'm confused! First of all I'm not sure that I have a hanterex mtc9000 or weather it's a mtc 990? How to

Make a photo, a simple photo and post it

and I'll let you know

Yes

my tron working pcb prize was wrong, I've verified and it's 125/150$ + shipping on the forum klov.

I purchaze the parts on klov forum and ebay, that's why my estimatation is lower.


Thanks for told us your experience and I think it's true that before restoring this machine we can't know how much it's long, difficult and expensive because of all the parts she has.

Don't worry,

We are here to help you, guys

we did it first so we try wiht our hits to help you avoiding all the problems you're going to face on these adventures


Mav

.. otherwise why we got older?!

100$+shipping for the board. (not 250$)

my friend be aware of your estimates

As long as I know a tested working Tron board (since I looked after it for 1 year) is around 150~200 from Anthony (quaterarcade.com) or arcadeparts.com

Maybe $100 on ebay.com but in this case the sellers (of course) don't give you any refund in case it doesn't work or don't arrive at all

as happend to you

-Control panel has additionals holes, a guy in the usa has send it one complete to me but it never arrive in france

Good luck

Mav

Little hint: to avoid missing packages use UPS

it will save you angry moments

but it´s not every day you come across a Mint TRON in europe...

Muerto?

are you sure?!

do you check ebay.co.uk in the weekend's?

1 tron cab was right there for sale last week,

still 1 is available from the huge stock from chattanooga (posted on the forum last week)

Tron in Europe it is not so rare are as you might think..

Just ask for it , as bruno said about pong availabilty search through the collector's network

and you'll find one in Europe near to you

gameover can be a good start for you since you are in Denmark, right?


gameover are french so it would be easy for you to get one right there

Lot of collectors join their forum


Instead Pong or computer space seem to be really rare..


Anyway,


We are all fans but must be aware of what you are going to deal with

So here some people's experience who had fought with it (as I did)

Just to mention few..


Soon you'll have restored one you'll see it with a different sight (jean with the missing package is starting.. my good luck mate it will be a tough work but in the end you'll succeed )


Mav

To answer your question a mint tron cab is this one

on practical things I get used in this sector (since I work in it if you don't know) to be for professional deformation extremely precise

This doesn't mean that I've lost passion, but


I would to help passionate people you to focalize first where the problem are when looking at beautiful machines like tron is
