    I am back! OMG.
    In this video we are going to fix the broken stuff in the basement. Or, are we? Mortal Kombat II has a broken Polo monitor. The Atari Paperboy has power supply problems. Can we fix these issues in this video?
    Enjoy the vids? Consider supporting me! Thank you, John! youtube.streamlabs.com/johnsa...

      I think the mainboard on the flyback has a short at this point it has to be a problem wit the mainboard. Holy shit I typed this before he showed the crack lmao. I went to college for electronic hardware repair and engineering had soldering clas dc/ac circuits class, logic class, networking, fiber optics, etc.however as soon as started my career my back and legs went out due to birth defect I didn't think would get the better of me for another 10 or so years. But a car accident exacerbated the problem. I would work for John repairing his stuff for him if I lived by him lol. Nobody here where I live collects arcades. I live in South Texas was planning on moving back to Denver back when I had gotten out of college but it wasn't in the cards.

    It’s great to see you back with a new video John! I spent the weekend in the garage working on my Time Crisis. I actually meant to work on the lack of sound in my JAMMA cab for CPS2, ZN2, and System 12 boards but I got massively side tracked!
    I intend to attempt my first monitor recap for my Daytona upright in a week or so (on a Nanao MS8 26U). Fingers crossed I don’t mess it up.

    • @dreamcastfan
      @dreamcastfan Před 5 lety

      Lol, I know what you mean. I was just thinking this morning that I’ve been through three Hantarex Polo 2 monitors in my Time Crisis.
      The first was DOA (no neck glow), the replacement’s flyback blew after a couple of months with lots of smoke and arcing but at least my current one is OK.
      Now that I’m much more comfortable working with CRTs I need to go back and fix the one with the blown flyback as the tube is perfectly good.

  • @andybaldman
    @andybaldman Před 5 lety +1

    *Andrewb here. The two PS'es are factory, as Atari added the switcher to supplement the 5V, as the AR doesn't put out enough. You don't need a full kit for the AR either. Just replace the two 2N3055's, and that will likely fix it. They get weak, and measure fine with no load, then measure low under load. I see it all the time on the AR's I rebuild. Do not replace the headers, it isn't necessary, and they aren't the problem. Also recapping the whole thing is a waste of money, just keep it original, as the caps are still fine. Also FYI, the audio amps are TDA2030's, not the TDA2002's used on AR-II's. Just replace those and your sound will be back*

    • @Johnsarcade
      @Johnsarcade  Před 5 lety +1

      Hey, Andy! Thanks for the reply. I already ordered the AR-III rebuild. Maybe I'll just swap out the transistors you mention. And, do have TDA2030A audio amps already.

    • @andybaldman
      @andybaldman Před 5 lety

      @@Johnsarcade Cool. I just hate seeing people replacing tons of stuff they don't need, when they don't know the exact issue. Try the transistors first, and keep the rest as original as possible. it'll be worth more in another 20-30 years, like vintage cars today. :) Congrats on the new vid.
