    Another 00's MAME Victim - Egret 29 Restore

    Ever since I hit the opamp with cold spray it hasn't wobbled, so I decided to install the monitor today. Once the replacement part arrives from China in a few weeks I'll take the chassis out again, but it's real annoying to get to the anode cup with the rotation mech in the way. At the...

    My Ongoing Monitor Repair Logs

    MS8-29 Symptom: Horizontal twitching, deflection protection being triggered randomly I noticed if I maxed out H Subsize and the H Size pots the twitching problem went away, or if I maxed out the SPC control which is also connected to H size the problem would go away on the top and bottom. To...

    nanao sanwa schematics

    R465 is orange white brown and measures 390 out of circuit. My chassis does switch 15/24 by moving the jumper. C532 is 8.2nF same as listed. Not sure why this whole circuit is missing on mine but seems to be connected to H Phase which is working fine. Oh yes, also. C446 on the schematic is...

    nanao sanwa schematics

    This is incredible work. I have an MS8-29 I'm working on right now and it's already helped me fix a protection fault. Now it has a strange jittery SPC/H Size fault I am trying to hunt down. I did find these differences on the MS8-29 schematic: R465 on my board is a 390ohm VR434 on my board is...

    FS FOR SALE: New Astro City, Seattle WA $2600 OBO

    Finished refurbishing this sad NAC I picked up recently at a local pinball show, but it doesn't really have a place in my collection, so I'm looking to sell it. Here is an overview of the condition: Cabinet originally imported in the early 2010s, 88k on the coin counter Overall good condition...

    Another 00's MAME Victim - Egret 29 Restore

    Many hours of tracing and cutting and crimping later, the second wiring harness is done!!! This means the original can go back in the cabinet. It's assembled as far as it's gonna be for now. A friend tipped me off to gray wire tiedowns which appear to be exactly the same as the OEM ones...

    Another 00's MAME Victim - Egret 29 Restore

    Cool cabinet! The Candy 25 is one of my favorites with the best rotation mech of any cab. If you want to take it the next step, wet sanding and polishing can restore even very badly scratched transparent plastics. Here's a couple OEM Astro toppers I salvaged by wet sanding...

    Polishing ABS plastic with a perfectionism disabiltiy

    Get a DA polisher. I used to think Novus was kinda crap until I used it on a machine and it made a huge difference. If you're going all the way up to 4000 grit you should be able to go straight to Novus 2 and not have swirls, but I usually stop at 2000 or a quick pass with 3000 and then cut with...

    Another 00's MAME Victim - Egret 29 Restore

    Thanks all. I went ahead and placed those stickers. I should have some dark gray spraypaint sitting around I can use for the speaker grilles. I did know about the black paper inside the speaker pods and was meaning to remake those as well on the cricut. I would prefer to replace the floor...

    Another 00's MAME Victim - Egret 29 Restore

    I started reassembling this today, though I mostly worked on the New Astro next to it which will be going up for sale as soon as my package from arcadeartrepro finally shows up after 2 months of waiting. Unfortunately I have to take the whole rotation mech out again because one of the...

    Another 00's MAME Victim - Egret 29 Restore

    Just brought it back from the powder coater. It's not 100% perfect but it's looking significantly better than the spraypaint mess. Looking forward to reassembly.

    MS2934 Flyback replacement

    I don't have an exact answer for you since I don't have a 2934 on hand, but if you do find that the MS2931 flyback is the same, I have 3 non-working chassis here all with different issues and I'd be willing to let one go at cost.

    Sega Astro City: Best Practices Plugging into US 120V Receptacle

    Everyone here is overthinking this or being borderline superstitious. Your cabinet has two major components in it which are powered by the wall: the monitor and the power supply. Ignore the sticker on the back of the cabinet, let's simply look at the ratings for each of these. From the MS9's...
