Hi

this is my first post here and I have directly a request:

we have here in Germany an Arcade Museum (look at Facecbook https://de-de.facebook.com/Retro-Nerds-M%C3%BCnsterland-1710193545940225/) and now we are a proud owner of a Sega G-Loc, too.

But there is a big problem, we donĀ“t have these two leveling  DC motors. So I need some information what kind of motors are these, wich voltage, I need perhabs a ID Number an do you have information where we can buy (used) two of these motors? And you can send maybe an *.pdf of the manual and electric wiring.



Sorry for so much questions, but it seems you are the only one who can have all this information for us.

thanks for you help!

Kind regards, Thargor

HI Thargor,

As far as I know schematics for GLOC motor drivers boards are not unavailable.
But 'gc339' from the french board gamoover has done a massive 'reverse engineering' work to figure out how it works... and so how to repair it.
Here's the topic in french.
He successfully repaired few of them.
It's really hard to find motor drivers boards nowadays, and especially working one, and no one didn't reproduced them new so far.
A great project have been done recently -> reproduction of Outrun/Space Harrier DLX Compatible Motor PCBs (see here). These are very close to the ones from those in GLOC, but unfortunately not the same...

Hi
  thanks for the reply.

we have the motor driver board for both motors, but still no motors.

So what I need is info about the motor themselves. Wich Voltage is used an idea we can get someone or if we can use other motors.

Hey Arcaders,

long time ago i baught a G-Loc Deluxe cab..
The owner told me it is working ; only the CRT is broken.

When I opened it up (this summer) i found a lot of grass; dirt; and dead rats in it!

All control LED (POwer indicators) are glowing ; Mainboard; Motor Boards; all fans are on;
but unfortunately; the game does not boot up.

I talked a lot with "irepairsega" in USA ...Ken; but in his oppinion the mainbord PCB of the game is fried.

As i wastet years for repairing my Thunderblade Cab; before i just put a raspery (retropie4) into it and connected all the inputs to the Xbox360 controller (works great).
also Afterburner one and two; abd AB Cop are now on that cab; as it is quite similar.

this time i do not want to waste years on trying to find parts that will never work.

SO the question is; does anyone know how these MOTORS "really" work? wiring ? technical documentation?
I ordered some power units from china; 80V to 110V choosable;
I will try by myself ; and try to find out what the wires mean;
one guy from youtube meant, it is ; one for the direction; three for the speed; with 5v?  maybe...

so the idea is ; using Retropie; i can simulate the G-Loc Mame; check....alredy working; all inputs from the cab with a X-Box controller; ....check working;
maybe the emulator puts also out the information in 8bit (because there is a AD DA compiler in the machine) ; i wrote a lot of questions to the forum of the emulator software; we will see;

second ; easy plan;
i take the three wires from the joystick (potentiometer) and go to an arduino; that controlles 2 new electric motors; but ? 12,5Nm electric motor enough? we will see

controle with the arduino

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQuTgngoFPQ&list=PLzPCh3dINAB8ifngDKQSLLadT4Sr2z3PP&index=4&t=11s

we have to write a small sketch for it...

any ideas; help ?
i think this could bring back a lot of these cabs to life;
and all original parts can be still inside; or can be put into again easily.

i will try to find a location for pictures that will not be thrown away after some weeks and post them; i hate free picture upload pages!

i have some electric motors to sell; as i do not need them anymore;

ich checked them; they are working;

also understood the function;
normal 80V to 100V electric Motor;

the 4 wires in the back go to (inside the cap on the backside of the Motor) a Modular Encoder LOE-01-2C 100 P/R
this can cound and meassure rounds and angle of the motor and sends it to the Motor control board;

so it is NOT possible to control the motor with these 4 cables;

the motor ist controlled with the power and direction through the red an black big wire on the bottom.
