Trying to find an Aerosmith. Preferably a Premium or LE, but will consider a pro. Hoping to find something within an hour or two of the GTA or Niagara area. Let me know what you have!

Socketed the 74HC237. replaced the IC and everything worked! success........for about 10 games. Then poof! back to square one. Same symptoms, column 3 and 7 now fail. I had a good look at the playfield and could not locate any shorts. I want to blame the IR optical board, but I don't really...

I pulled the schematic and read a bit more. Looks like the U23 chip failed when U20 failed. This is 74HC237. It has to be this IC, as it is the only other item upstream that controls the columns in the matrix. Time to break out the soldering iron. I will be smart and solder in a socket and...

OK, so a little update. Today I had some time for testing. With the connectors removed, I connected a jumper to each row/column to the connector pin. Turns out that column 3 and column 7 do not function properly. If any of those switches are triggered it appears to short the entire column...

So I replaced the ULN2803A again. Fuse is replaced, and a rebuilt the diodes. I am getting a proper +12.07V going to the cpu board (measured at J-210). I am still getting +13.7V at J-139 and J-140. So there is a bit too much going to the playfield opto boards, but I don't think it is enough...

Well shit, perhaps there is a short somewhere on the playfield then. Yes, I meant 0.63A fuse. Didn't realize the switch ULN2803A could take that much. Sounds to me like I need to find the 50V short, that is the only thing that seems to make sense. I'll get power board back in the game and...

I think I may have found the solution. Spoiler alert...... the culprit is a fuse!!!! 0.63mA fuse for the +12V to the CPU to be more precise. While the +12V tested fine from the test point (little knob on the board), it goes through the fuse before it hits a the connector. When I measure voltage...

Hey Team, I'm getting a bit frustrated with my CV switch matrix and I am hoping someone smarter than I has run into a similar issue: Symptoms: Game boots up OK. I get an error message that reads: check fuses F101 and F109, J127 and opto 12V Supply. -All of the cabinet switches work just...

That was about what I was thinking too! Thanks.

Just curious to get some thoughts on a fair price for a Tales from the Crypt these days. I know prices have been insane lately and I have not been keeping up as much as I have in the past. Machine has LEDs, but no topper, standard DMD and no other upgrades. Playfield & cabinet is in good...

Cool! That looks like a nice option too. everyone seems to be out of stock. I'll bet I'll have to wait to Halloween, but will definitely check these out too. Thanks.

PM'd! Thanks!

OK this is a longshot, but does anyone out there have a topper for TFTC they are willing to part with? Shoot me a PM. Thanks!

My experience has always been that that the pins sell for prices that are way, way too high. However, if someone is looking for a supper chexx, fooseball table or toy crane (my daughter really wants one), there are some reasonable deals to be had.

Update: I made a trade for the Tommy. Now a proud owner of a TFTC! Both are great games!

Looking for a line-up change. If you see something you like, shoot me a PM and try me for a trade. I would really like, Tales from the Crypt, Guns and Roses, Pinball Magic, AC/DC, Ripley's or TSPP. I'm a sucker for 90's vintage games. I also enjoy late 80's Williams. Please shoot me a PM...

I'm all up and running on TAF. Thanks Dino. These are awesome! If only someone would finish the program for TZ or Tommy!?

Looking for a friend that wants to re-theme an old EM machine for his tatoo shop. Rough playfield is OK! Flaked backglass? No problem! Would prefer it to be working or at least mostly working. Solid cabinet would also be ideal. Game title or manufacturer really does not matter, but prefer one...

Hey there, Just saw your post about how you would be interested in an Indiana Jones if you sold your white water. I would love a White Water. Let me know if you are still serious about looking to sell. Would love to know how much you are looking for and see a couple of pictures and know more...
