Tempest are never junk in my eyes.

If you can find one that was converted into another game, it would be a good candidate.

Try reseating or swapping the CPUs.

This has happened to me many times with these boards.

so I have a vs goonies machine and the colors are all tinted purple (I asume that can be fixed with a cap kit) and the picture gets biger and smaller randomly and often, now I am not sure what would fix the second part, should I just do a cap kit, is the hot bad, is it the b+ voltage, or would the flyback be the culprate,  this would be my first crt repaire but I have replaced all the caps on a lcd computer monitor which fixed it. Thanks so much in advance for the help

I would check the B+ for the breathing picture size. Start with cap kit then go from there.
So when i went to order a kit ian kellogs site was down so i ordered from a site called twisted courter a sanyo 20 ezv cap kit and I went to replace c201 and the cap kit came with a 100 uf 16v but my board used a 10 uf 25v, do I replace the cap or use the old one

I don't personally recall this issue but it looks like it's common. Just use the 100 UF cap:

So, at 57:50 on the cloak and dagger vid, John decides to use a leaf blower to blow metal shavings in to the cabinet. No vacuum, no air gun, a leaf blower. I have a new appreciation and understanding of the term "redneck gamer". Lol

LOL! Smiley It worked. Smiley

Hey there-

So I have a barcade in NC and we want to start tournaments done in the same vein as Brofest. Just wondering a) what kind of software or app was being used by the ref, and b) how the leaderboard is posted to a TV screen?

Thanks!

Aurcade. You need a referee to input scores using their software. It's all.web based.

Popeye is a horizontal monitor too. You need the vertical monitor mount brackets.
