Honestly.. it's been a few years since I played, but I'm sure they're not bad scores!

I just made sure I was top on all the challenges!  :D

I've got few months ago a Stun Runner board from US. At the time, because I hadn't the cabinet at home, and because I didn't know if the game was working or not, I thought I was a good idea to buy a working Stun Runner board.

Here it is  :arrow:



It's supposed to be 'Tested & Working'... yes yes... it's even written on it  :P  :arrow:



OK, so let's swap the current board, working but with some sounds issues, with this board... on location  :arrow:



Let's plug the game... Yes  :) That board is working ... but ... still the same sound problems  ???

Well, let's check inside the cockpit... OK ... what's this small additional board ?  :arrow:



OK... understood! THIS is the sound board!

Now, I know I have two working Stun Runner main boards, and I know the problem is located on that small card!

But... what could be wrong on it... it looks very clean... the condos 'looks' fine ... maybe a ram problem on it ?
There's no error in the test mode of the game... strange... any idea maybe?  :?

I posted it on the KLOV forum Bruno, lot's of knowledge overthere !

I'm sure it can be fixed. What exactly are the sound issues ?

Apparently, the sound boards often went bad on STUN runner:

It's time to clean up the screen, the bezel... and this  :arrow:



Maybe I should keep the insect, put in in amber, and make a nice keyring...like this  :arrow:



Too bad I didn't think about it previously  :oops: ...but next time, I'll  :D

Ok, the monitor + bezel are cleaned  :arrow:



Hey... a S.T.U.N. RUNNER is supposed to have a nice marquee, isn't it?

Here it is...



It needs to be cleaned too ...



Done... and 'on location' ... *bonus* : the original neon is still working  ;D  :arrow:

You're right... each time I remember that  :roll:... but didn't remember the right word  :oops: ...I've a 'post it' with it on my monitor now  ;)

Regretfully I had ZERO reply about the sound issue.....so sad....

I'm sure someone will able to help me when I'll give more details about the sound problem.

Let's continue the cleaning.

Because that game operated in a theme park for small kids, a lot of sand everywhere :-X  :arrow:



...well... not only for small kids... because of these cigarette burns  :?  :arrow:



...very ... very ... very old bubblegums ...



Arghhh... Cannot remove it  :-\ I've tried to pull it off with a screwdriver, but it won't go  :-\ Any advice for removing it ?  :oops:



OK, let's remove the sand :



For the rest, I'm using a 'cockpit cleaner for car'... because it's mostly plastic parts here  8) Except the cigarette burns, it looks better now  :arrow:



Funny, see the speaker location on this game :



I think it looks nice with the Turbo Out Run cockpit on its side...



...because of the same RED plastic color  8)



Let's take a ride now...



Monitor is in very good condition, very nice, clean & clear picture :





Arghhh !!!! Too late for the T-shirt challenge  :P ;D  :arrow:

There is a product called Goo Gone, I use it to dissolve gum that kids place on the theatre seats.

Maybe it's available in your area?   www.googone.com

It works great!  easy to use!  ;)

Retro Gamer has to be one of the best gaming magazines out there ;D. The writers really know their stuff, they interact with their readers on the RG forum and you can always count on professional reviews and interviews.
...and they love SEGA too :P ;D
