Title: Building a test bench.
Post by: jasonsmith on March 14, 2014, 12:19:06 pm
I just acquired an old Zero Team cab minus controls. The cab is bad but it looks to have a decent K7901 along with a transformer and the Zero Team board.

I want to learn a bit more about boards and the inner workings of these machines so I was thinking that I could turn it into a test bench.

Catch... I have no idea how to do that. Not sure if there's a video on the subject but it would be cool if you guys could point me in a direction on where to start with this.

My test bench is currently a pc power supply and jamma harness with a monitor. Soldering iron. Multimeter. Logic probe. Logic analyzer.  Oscilloscope.  A desktop to read schematics and a lot of parts. I don't bother with a cab and just have everything on a desk

That's exactly what I would like to do, don't want the cab bulk. May be a stupid question but where do I go to see what needs to connect to what on the harness. I'm a little confused about power requirements. The monitor gets 120 but from where and what should I fuse etc. I know I'm all over the map.
