Test of the vector output. 

https://forums.arcade-museum.com/archive/index.php/t-405484.html

If RAM and Rom is ok, probe pins 2 through 11 of the 6012 DACs that are at the edge of the video section, while the board is in test mode. These pins are the inputs to the DACs. You should see toggling on all lines, for both DACs. 

If you do, then the vector generator is working, and one or more of the analog chips after the DACs are bad (and/or the DACs themselves, which is common), 

If the DAC inputs aren't toggling, you have issues with the vector generator section. 

Viewing output x and y on the scope. Turn on the xy mode. Connect probes to xout and yout.

Part 7 cabinet work

Cabinet was on the left very dirty, like it was lying in some cm dust  Anyway some cleaning with magic spoon

T Molding is a pity. Left side was missing completely and I had to replace it with normal white Molding. Original Nintendo Molding is not available anymore .

Part 6 Nintendo Popeye pcb repair

I replaced the burned 330 ohm and 51 ohm resistors by 330 ohm and 62 ohm resistors  Had nothing else at hand.

Part 4 game pcb inspection for Nintendo Popeye Arcade cabinet

Part 4 game pcb inspection. 

Burned transistors and resistors in rgb section.

Part 3 Restauration of Nintendo Popeye arcade cabinet

Part 3 swap caps and resistors.

First the burned inverter pcb

 Simply ripped caps and burned resistors.

Measured caps with the above equipment and found defect and near defects parts.

Part 2 repair chassis of sanyo crt for Nintendo Popeye

Part 2 video chassis, audio amp and inverter board  

Quite obvious that cleaning is needed. Dirt will have impact on transistor cooling and transistors. Pics are needed for harness and plug documentation 

 Audio amp. One cap is falling from pcb. Cleaning needed as well.

Sanyo EZ has a amp and remote.

Inverter board has burned parts 

Repair of sanyo chassis pcb for Nintendo Popeye Arcade Cab

Hey
Here is a bunch of pictures made while repairing my Nintendo Popeye Cab.

Here's the chassis pcb, Audio Amp and inverter pcb. Capacitors, resistors and transistors was checked and replaced if defective 

Part 1

Checked cab for all parts. Video harness, audio harness and black bezel card is missing.

So I made a replacement cable for the video harness and a Jamma Adapter for a test game pcb. This way I know what is working and what's not. Checked psu and voltages. Finally I got this picture.

Result of this step.: faulty inverter board, faulty game pcb, faulty audio amp pcb and nearly defect Sanyo video chassis with vertical foldover.

Mister First Test Session with CRT 15 Khz RGB ArcadeForge UMSA

Hey, I just made a test session with the mister project. I connected an IO Board to the DE10 Nano FPGA Board, loaded the sd card with the mister software and connected a CRT with the awesome UMSA PCB.

It was just plug and play, no configs was edited.

Find here some pics.
