Ghost N Goblins Scratch Built..... WIP

[Superully]

hey, this is coming out nicely. did you spray the paint or roll it on? how's the finish? smooth?

[baritonomarchetto]

Wery good work so far! Keep it up! 

[Muerto]

The paint is rolled on, it´s oil based, so it´s quite smooth..

[scr33n]

Nice job !!! How many coats of paint?

[Muerto]

2 layers, i will apply the 3rd shortly..

and FINALLY, finished soldering the edge connector, and hooked it up to the PCB.
Also, there´s some noice on the picture, but i haven´t connected the Video GND yet...



Is there a way to ajust the picture on the scr33n... hehe


[Vader voice=ON] Impressive [Vader voice=OFF] soldering skillz!.... not  


Again, picture of the picture off center....

starting to look good Muerto !

[funkycochise]

maybe there is a service mode to adjust the picture better.

as an example for FE2 chassis...

good luck

[Muerto]

thanks! - how do i determine which chassis it is

the brand is LG..

Isn't there a model number on the case of the TV, or on the chassis itself?

Some TV's need a dedicated service remote to enter the service menu, and others need only a specific sequence of button presses on the normal remote.

The overscan and possibly the centering deffinately needs to be adjusted a bit on that TV - but it shouldn't be a problem, when first gaining access to the service menu.

Hey Mark! - and welcome to the (some say) greatest forum on the net!

Thanks for the info!!

-EDIT-

Here the pictures from the chassis:

Tube sticker


Neck board

wow, found something i can use, it seems like i have to press "OK" on the remote and TV buttons at the same time to access the Deflection adjustment menu.......

you´re here by Tony approved!

[Muerto]

YES! - got it working.... - thanks to mark and funkychoice!



So, now the only thing stopping the project to get finished is the damn CP!!!

i'm sure you've asked around on klov, right?

great to finally see that project coming together. i remember well when you told me last year "man, i wish i had one of those machines, i've got (almost) all the parts together, but i can't find the measures anywhere". look where you are now. i'm very happy for you - and of course GnG is a fabulous game!

Yes, i have asked on klov, and i think they a growing tired of me bumping the thread....

Yes! - it´s great to finally use the GnG PCB, i bought it 12-05-2008... so it has been laying around for some time now....
Here´s a pic of the paint on the front of the cab, there´s 2 layers on atm, so it need´s to be sanded one more time, before applying the final layer...

Hey Michael. Thought I would join this forum too, instead of just lurking around as an unregistered user.

Great you godt the TV Issue fixed. I did read about entering the service menu on a LG TV just requiring pressing either "menu" or "ok" on the TV and remote at the same time.
