Fantastic video. Great commentary throughout. I could have done without the ribbon ads but that was a minor complaint.
I had totally forgotten about the Crossbow game. I dumped so many quarters into that one. Ha! Good memories!

Petite anecdote, la game fonctionne mais est "blind" pour le moment, réparation de moniteur en vue. Le vendeur est Elie de Arcademtl, il m'a dit avoir recu une offre plus élevée que la mienne mais vu que le gars lui a dit qu'il voulait la convertir au lcd, il a préféré me la vendre.
Respect mon ami, ca fait du bien de voir qqun qui comprend vraiment ce monde des machines video d'arcade! Très heureux de t'avoir rencontré!

Re: What did you do in ''Video Game'' today ??
I am in the process of rebuilding my mame standup arcade cabinet's control panel. The actual wood panel is being slowly build as time permit.
On the menu : adding a pair of spinners, one trackball, a set of leafswitch buttons/joystick and lightguns. The CPO is almost double the one I originally made for the cabinet, nearly 10 years ago.
Recently I changed the gun on my actlab lightgun and looked at changing my VGA CRT
Yesterday I started to work on the connector that'll be installed on the front panel for the gun to reach the insides.

Re: What did you do in ''Video Game'' today ??
Ce soir vu que le Canadien a gagné, j'ai trouvé la motivation pour travailler sur le moniteur de la DK.
Le proprio d'avant a changé le flyback car il avait sauté et fait un cap kit en passant mais le résultat est plus d'image du tout, avant il fonctionnait bien.
Cette semaine j'ai lu tout ce que j'ai pu trouvé a propos de ce moniteur pour essayé de le connaitre mieux.
J'ai suivi un flowchart pour un sanyo ez20 qui est similaire. Je test les fuses et c'est ok. Après beaucoup de lecture j'ai remarqué qu'une composante importante est l'ajustement du B+. Sur le flowchart il indique une fonction de HV shutdown causé par un over brightness.
Alors je suis rendu là, je check B+ qui doit etre a 105volt et il indique 144 volt. Je tourne ce pot conterclockwise au complet et je met l'écran sous tension, maintenant il indique 80 volt, trop bas mais "tabar***" je vois tout d'un coup qque chose aparaitre a l'écran, je l'ai ajusté a 104volt tel que recommandé, c'est bon signe non ??

Both 'Video Game' & 'Pinball', I finally got around to replacing those damnable Bally Pots that are always bad on my Granny & The Gators Vidiot board.
Makes for a beautiful, *stable* picture.

Re: What did you do in ''Video Game'' today ??
Previous owner made the cap kit and the flyback. This second operation consist to change two broken pots and the big filter cap in the same time. Good news, i saw the picture of the game for few seconds but it disappears when i try to adjust the bad pots.

Ça fitte!
J'ai commencé la job de le modifier (doit être noir) pour l'installation finale dans le cabinet.
Pas gigantesque, mais plus gros que le moniteur que j'avais alors c'est excellent.
Aussi, j'ai réussi à tweaker les settings pour obtenir une calibration presque parfaite sur mon lightgun. Awesome.

Do you like the picture ??
Finally the problem was fairly simple to solve but it took lot of time to read and learn before i can understand what were the possible cause to this dead monitor. Ordered parts, installed new pots, make adjustments and voilà
By the way i removed the transistors and put new ''pate thermique'' to dissipate heat better than the old and dry one.

Non j'ai enlevé la vitre et le panneau de contrôle.
Le moniteur tient sur une tablette et le pc c'est un rackmount 3U que j'ai fait tenir dans le cabinet.
J'ai changé de moniteur et je suis en train de remonter un nouveau panneau de contrôle.

Aujourd'hui c'était le CPO, le t-molding, et un début d'assemblage des contrôles.
Me reste à installer deux spinners et plein de switch, plus tout le filage.
Et à installer ça sur le cabinet.
