MONZA GP troubleshooting

[vernimark]

After a long time in my garage I decided to proceed with MONZA GP mini cab resto.
Cabinet is not in so terrible conditions, I've seen things you humans couldn't believe so I consider  this one an easy job.
On the contrary PCB doesn't work and at the moment i can't understand schematics; in fact ICs are not marked and I cant understand where a IC on the schematic is actually on the PCB.

After cleaning and using the force this is the result:

I know this game is quite rare so I hope I can repair it.

I'll keep you update

Rare indeed, KLOV dosent have it in thier database..
Hope you get it fixed!

I have several boards not included in KLOV. In the past i took care to introduce new games but often they refused my entries and I bored to waste my time.
And I m talking about original games, not bootlegs.

I mentioned it before, I am a database editor at KLOV, if you have a new entry let me know and I'll take a look and publish it. If it makes sense  
Please note that I am not able to publish pictures (though I can see them), just new entries or new additions to existing ones.
I think I published a few entries of yours, Marco, some weeks ago. Couldn't find an entry to Monza GP, though  
But I have to say that the way the publishing works is kind of a pain in the sphincter, it's tedious and confusing. And you don't want to blindly publish new stuff without checking the facts. So if you have a new game for the database please try to include pictures of the cab, pcb, links to flyers, whatever proof of existence, this helps tremendously in deciding if it is a valid entry or not.

ok, I'll prepare a list of my boards/cabinets not included in KLOV so we can decide the priority

[Laschek]

Great! Just let me know when you are ready

I m very close to the end. I just have to find a small monitor for the minicab and i can finish the restoration next week. I m not sure pcb is workin 100% because i didn t test i/o but i m confident...

news: yesterday I repaired the wheel; shift and pedal work, sound is not connected yet but I'm confident because I have a couple of sound boards...
I can see colours are inverted and using a common TV I can see a defect I found in my monaco GP when its monitor was faulty and I had to use another one...
I try to explain what happens but it's not easy with my english..

When cars (or any other object) disappear from the screen running outside, a sort of "bright shade"  appears horizontally for half a second along the road. I tried to make a movie. it has not a good quality but you can see this effect when cars go over the right of the screen. any idea?

Using a CA&G monitor and a hand made color inversion board I have good results so I'll open a thread for restoration now
