Yep, there was a single hole for a light which was wired to the coin door lights, I've removed all of these items, and have restored the coin light and coin switch wiring, thank god the install was neat and real professional, wasn't hacked up too much.

Just have to work on fixing these holes...i really don't want to paint it as the laminate is in terrific shape.

Thanks,
Jj

Hey Guys,

Picked up my first Vs. Cabinet (RBI Baseball) and found this box in the cabinet...any ideas what it can be?

Looks like it's a coin counter of sorts, seems to be tied directly to the coin mechs, with no wires going to the game PCBs.

Here are a few photos. -- Any ideas?

thanks everyone -- after looking at the existing isolation transformer it looked like it burned out and the previous owner decided to bypass it rather than buying a new one and doing it the right way.

Amazing!

Thanks Again

Hello all,

I picked up a Moon Patrol conversion cab running a jamma board (Dj Boy). I noticed the cabinet currently has an isolation transformer that it seems to be not wired to use. If anyone has experience with the K4900 series monitors, do you know if it needs to run through an isolation transformer?

Thanks,
Jj
7  Arcade and Pinball Discussions / General Arcade and Video Game Discussions / Pacman question -- would this be considered sacrilege to arcade purists? on: September 19, 2014, 06:29:46 pm
Hello All,

I recently purchased a Ms. Pacman that needs a monitor replacement.

I was hoping to get some opinions if i should replace the monitor with an LCD monitor or stick with a traditional arcade CRT monitor.

My issue with the traditional option is that we all know pacman burn-in is inevitable.

Although I love the nostalgic look the traditional monitor offers, I feel that I would literally be wasting a K7000 that someone else might benefit from.

Thoughts?


Thanks!
Jj
