![]() So if anyone has any advice on getting burnt in pictures out of your arcade monitor and advice on cleaning or replacing buttons, it would be most appreciated. Also, the second joystick barely responds and the buttons don't really work. I'm guessing because the words '1943 Battle of Midway' are always there in attract mode, they never shut it off. It's nice to have a father who an electrical worker at Boeing for over 25 years too. I just bought a plug for the end of the cord, and what do you know, it works. Well, things are working pretty smooth now. I'm no expert at arcade machines, but I know my way around electronics and such pretty decently. I'll take a look at the fuses and power supply and see what's going on. I'll look into the arcade newgroups and see what I can find. But it looks like you only have 2 buttons, so no autofire for you! Regarding your other questions, since 1943 is a jamma game, you should be able to put other games inside (like DDP). In fact, if you ask out on the arcade newsgroups, you may find someone local to you that will come take a look at it for free. If you are not adept to working on such things, ask someone who knows about electronics for help. Bad power supply could do damage to both the PCB and monitor, so be carefull NOT to try powering it on with the board and monitor hooked up (at least not at first). Very nice find! First thing you should be checking are the fuses, and power supply. Last edited by Jedah Doma on Mon 9:03 am, edited 3 times in total.

Living in Kansas where no one gives a crap about an arcade cabinet is great.īTW: What are my options as far as other shmups I could put in this cab? Is this cab JAMMA and could it play say Dodonpachi? I'll update as I get more info and I'll need some help with the technical aspects of the cab as I have never even seen the insides of an arcade cab. I love people who have no idea what's wrong with something and just say "It's old". So, I'll get it home tommorrow and see what's up. The screen (last time I saw it on) didn't have any burn ins, so it should be a nice fixer uper. The marquee is in great condition, the joysticks and buttons are solid, and even the cabinet art on the sides is in great condition. The cab is in really nice condition, and while I'm not sure what's wrong with it, I figure I could work on it and fix it up. Here's some pics:įirst of all, sorry about the crappy picture quality. So tommorrow I'm going to pick me up a 1943 cab that is in nice condition. ![]() So before I could even ask, he said "Do you want it?" I'm going, alright sure, sounds good to me. Don't you love it when folks aren't educated. Well, the youth pastor and I are good friends, so I asked him what the deal was. So anyway, I peeked in the room real quick, and the 1943 machine had a piece of paper that said "out of order". It's cool to have arcade games for the kids, and they aren't too bad (1943, Capcom Bowling, and Snow Bros. I got in there, and saw the two cabs our church has (I know, odd, but it's for the youth group). We got done working and went into the annex (a seperate building with some classrooms). I was at my church helping them rnovate the kitchen and some of electrical and such. ![]() I haven't had the chance to go look at my local arcade distributors, but tonight, something very cool happened. Well, it seems my search for some arcade cabs has made an interesting turn.
