Hey guys. New to the hobby, but have been subbed here forever.

I picked up my 1st game. A Robotron that's been put into a moon patrol cabinet. It was not working initially.
So far I've replaced the power supply (it was converted to switching)
It had a bad ram chip, so I had to replace one of the 4116's and now its booting without error, and I can hear the initial startup sound.

My issue is that I have nothing on the screen. Well I have something its a lightblue'ish screen with some diagonal lines (pics attached)

I do have a cap kit on the way, but I'm just wondering if that's going to even help with this specific issue.

I'm hoping someone here recognizes this specific screen.

I do have a thread on KLOV going as well, but I thought I would post here as well since you're all bro's lol
thanks

So I purchased a PCB for street fighter II on ebay and low and behold it was bootlegged. That was my fault that I didn't read the fine print. It is an "MSTREET-6" board if I am reading it correctly. My JAMMA harness doesn't look like it will fit as there is a notch in my harness and the pinout on the board has no space for the notch to fit into. And how do I connect the kick harness? Here is a picture of the board:

Any suggestions?

Found, thanks.

Be sure to check all voltages before connecting the pcbs. Double check the wiring/pinout against the manual.

Rebuild the power supply and consider doing a cap kit on the B&W vector monitor. Cool game. I loved that game BITD

hey everyone extremely new to the hobby here and am picking up my very first cabinet for 25 bucks thursday april 8th 2021 as you can probably tell from the title of the post it is a atari battlezone i dont have a picture right now but it appears to be in pretty good condition so im fairly confident i can get it to work what im wondering is what should i look for in terms of bringing it back to life? the seller thinks its the power supply and possibly the monitor? how easy is it to switch out the power supply also thinking i should maybe check the fuses i do not have a multimeter or any sort of tools is any of that required before i go poking around all willy nilly? any help is appreciated as i am a huge noob and dont wanna kill myself over something silly

Awesome on sharing the John's Arcade High Score cards. Are these a standard label size to print them to a label?

Thanks

This has always been a post that sits in the back of my head every time I help someone identify a cabinet and I have never been able to find out what it originally was but always looked every once in awhile, until finally I saw this post out of nowhere https://www.facebook.com/As-Found-Arcade-Machines-671138093218203/photos/pcb.1391117444553594/1391117334553605

It appears to be originally a Gametecniks Tri-Pool arcade machine from 1981 with the only difference being the coin door, which very well could of been swapped out with a new piece of wood judging by the plywood instead of particle board and the monitor being turned around during the conversion to the Taito games.

Edit: The Quest is over
