That's a nice thread DK1, I mean Gyruss.... :)

Mameing would really be a shame for a game like that IMHO.

The Chair rumbling constantly could be a sign of a problem with the PCB stack in the cage, or simply a relay fault.  Do not let the chair rumble constantly or you will burn the motor out.

I would do as Alpha1 suggested, and unscrew the cage and re-seat the PCB stack, remember where everything goes!

For the screen, attempt to adjust the focus on the LOPT/Flyback on the monitor chassis.  Be careful though, not easy to access these, use a plastic or ceramic adjuster/screwdriver if you can to reduce risk of possible shock.

You can unscrew the plastic cover on the controller to access the internal pots, and simply adjust it.

The lamps are only supposed to flash when you get hit.

Good luck, its an awesome game.  I regret selling mine, but you need a big place for these.  I think it's pretty cool that you managed to save these in Lebanon.

Equites thank you so much you saved my starblade  :D

ok 3 small problem

1 the chair keep on rumbling like crazy out of control so i had to plug it out

2 the screen is a bit out of focus

3 and the gun is not centered i should turn it slightly to the right so i can center my shooting

and what up with these annoying flash lamp that keep on flashing is that normal??  :o

is there a way to calibrate the gun

oh and i forgot to mention all the games i got have no keys so eventually i have to drill them and change the locks
so my question is where the dip-switch located in starblade ??

i cant find it on the back

thank you in advance

thanks guys for helping me out i really appreciate that  :)

now i followed the instruction you gave me

1 the rumble chair is fixed by itself after i opened the back of the chair and rechecked the cable of the rumble motor now its working perfectly only when i get shot it will rumble ;D

2 the screen i tried to play with the calibration screw with no luck i even got a professional technician he look at it and tried to calibrated also no luck he told me that the screen is dead and he have a machine that can fixed it he want 30$ it will be like new he is coming today to fix it

3 my biggest problem is the missing gfx i did what u guys told me i removed all 4 pcb from the cage i cleaned all the connection with a spray called wd40 and i instal d them as they were still same problem i even searched for a reset button on the pcb with no luck the only reset button i found is inside the coin door and still no go  >:(

now when i was opening the cage i realized that some screw are loose that mean someone before me opened this up is it possible that the last 2 bottom pcb are missed place cause i know that the 1 have all the light and the second have the harness connector

is there a manual that show me if the r installed right??

please feal free to give me any other suggestion  ???

and Equites thank you for the encouraging words  ;)

Already not a fan of any contact spray but WD-40 is killer.... luckily you used "normal" contact spray.
