Pole position display.

[Flynn's will live again!]

Hello all,


    DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! HERESEY AHEAD!!!!!!!! I am going to  be having to use an LCD monitor on my pole position for now!!!!!!!!!!!!


   Unfortunately, I don't know really what to do as I am new to arcade repair.  I have my video out cords, ( yellow and red, yellow and green, yellow and blue, purple and grey and green with white(? Not sure on the last one), but five out. R, b, g, horizontal sync & ground. I bought one of the cga to vga converters from paradise arcades until I can get a CRT for my cab. Is my video connected using cga? How do I get my cga to vga converter to even work. As of now, just using vga to a monitor, I can't even get my menu on the board to display. So lost and frustrated. The game works and I can hear sounds and when I use pedal it all works, just no video.....please help.

     I also found two return wires on the left bundled with the marquee light wires. It's a thicker black and white wire that goes down to the power board. I hve pictures of all if need be, I'm just posting from phone and don't see an option to upload. Thanks again all and any help is welcomed!

You might see if this solves your problem before you go doing something hearsay Also no I personally don't mind if you use LCD. I just thought I'd see if I could be helpful.

Aright, so the board wasn't getting the needed 5V. So I have it working fine now, now I'm trying to figure out the video from the arcade. What video format is 5 wires off the PCB? And I. Pols like someone already did the heat bypass on this unit directl through the boardand. It the exe connector. The wires end at a small connector, that has 6 openings but just uses the 5 wires. The the ground splits off the main again to another connector that has 2. So I have a 6 connector and a 2 connector? Where do they go? What are they called?

Got it working. Now I just need to figure out what the white and black wires coming from power are? It works with them just hanging there?!?!?!?!?! I has no idea?
