Kaizen Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I bought this cab off another AA member earlier this week and picked it up on Saturday. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150706_165538_zpsqzzkf6bd.jpg As soon as I got it home I set about stripping the base section apart http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150711_134606_zpsfmkzibep.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150711_162909_zpsxxs8qb9r.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150711_154505_zps0qewjmpk.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150711_154616_zpswu67z2yd.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150711_164455_zpsglenw1gf.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150711_212516_zpsjxleqtnl.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150711_212422_zpsdgtekziw.jpg By 3am the job was done. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150711_223207_zps1hp0mexy.jpg Back up at 9am and into it, a quick trip to Bunnings with a sample piece to match the base colour as best I could to a Spraypak can and grabbed some sandpaper. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150712_103441_zpszji5k7yk.jpg The moving section that the car mounts on has been painted top and bottom, I pretty happy with the colour. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150712_160713_zpscepeyis2.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150712_160721_zps4fb36nxj.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150712_123821_zpsbxzskca7.jpg The base has been straightened as best as possible and painted underneath, I'll get the top side of it done tomorrow. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150712_171326_zps6cwmzzzo.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150712_171421_zpsl35wsl4l.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150712_173219_zpssmipn5dm.jpg The wiring looms and nylon slides have been refitted and ready for the motor assemblies to be refitted after I reco them later this week. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150712_190510_zpsoa2swsza.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150712_190531_zpsndjq9h8j.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150712_190541_zpskndszmt1.jpg So far I've spent over 24 hours labour on it, I've set a goal of having it completed within two months but want to have the hardware side of it done in two weeks.

Left jump left 1P Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Only found two working boards. They don't look like dx boards to me? Can't see the 50 pin connector. Also had a faulty board but it looked the same as these two. I thought I had more working boards. @raysco might have a better memory on how many workkng boards I ended up with!? http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/12/36f894aed90b92b4dcdb8580c11ba299.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/12/9aedc6fca1b04c500daddd1aa3df2a3f.jpg Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember changing the RAM on one and repairing the connector for the video on another and some other chips. :unsure Then there was one board that was too badly corroded to repair that I think I still have in my spares pile :) Not sure what a DX board difference is though.

raysco Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Not really much into arcades myself ATM, and can't see much info on the DX version https://330mega.wordpress.com/2015/05/07/it-was-meant-to-be/ Maybe the standard Chase HQ board can be modified with the additions you mention :unsure I would be keeping in touch with the guy above :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Womble Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Highly likely all you need to do is fit the missing chips (standard bus transceiver and driver logic) and the pull up resistors. Oh and the connector itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left jump left 1P Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yep, I thought the 'M' area was were the 50 pin connector should be. Maybe the other boards I was thinking off were the other Taito titles on the same board format - Top Speed, SCI & Continental Circus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little bit of progress was made on the base today, it's hard to get much done with an hour of daylight. It's had a re spray at some stage so there was twice as much paint to remove on the top side. I'll take it back to metal, prime and fill and apply 3 full coats of paint. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150714_173944_zps3lxgzce2.jpg The piece that the coin mech sits on is missing on the other side, I'll have to get a new one fabricated. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150711_162909_zpsxxs8qb9r.jpg Edited October 5, 2018 by Kaizen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like using paint stripper so I'm happy to sand it. I ran out of 80 grit (and light) so I'll finish it off tomorrow and get it primed.

Kaizen Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah definitely, ive alredy gotten a few good ideas from the clips and will try to get in contact with him. If any of the roms are shot there's a chance he could dump them for me. I like the black paint job as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizen Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) I manged to find some spare time late last night so I set about swapping all the ROMs from the original board that was corroded to another Chase HQ DX board that had standard ROMs in it. Once cleaned and reassembled I plugged it in and it fired up the video is fine but there's no sound. I've double checked the pinout which I believe is correct and tested the speaker at the board so I'll have to do a bit more investigating. I finished prepping the top of the base today and will get it painted on the weekend. The tube and chassis have been cleaned and I'll get to testing that as well.

Kaizen Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Not a lot of progress this week with short days and cold weather. I primed and painted the base section today and started refitting some of the parts. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150802_214004_zpsyzrhrjkq.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150802_213940_zpsfzaiqb80.jpg All going well I should be ready to plug in and test the whole thing next weekend.

Kaizen Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I finished work early yesterday and got in a solid 6 hours work on the cab. There was a heap of small jobs that needed doing like removing broken bolts, replacing rusted bolts, wiring repairs etc. Gotta love the quality crimp job done with bull nose pliers. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150806_181010_zpsvx0dthd8.jpg Wires have now been soldered. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150806_190320_zpsuvmkofx5.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150806_210853_zpsvwrvpuwm.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150806_210813_zpslp91yixo.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150806_211809_zpsba4q9gjv.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150806_211845_zpsm7cs7sye.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150806_230220_zps0s0kirwm.jpg Both halves of the base section are now together.

Kaizen Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 I tested the PCB the other night so it went back in its cage and installed in place. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150807_215510_zpsbug80dqe.jpg The wiring on the top has been sorted with all boards cleaned, installed and connected. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150808_172746_zpsq1hydfpi.jpg A new 50 pin ribbon cable made up. There were a few cut wires that needed repairing and the 12v regulator board for the motor controller driver board had to be rewired and mounted. The monitor and control panel fitted. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150808_172829_zpshhqt38lo.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150808_172803_zpsbwgxp49y.jpg The original speaker was rotted so I fitted a used speaker from a cab I parted out. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150808_201319_zpsfdhvcl6w.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150808_201324_zpsz6w9eezb.jpg With the cab top section completed I started to look at how I could lift the top section on and off without needing top bug other people to give me a hand to lift it. I decided to sling the front from the overhead support beam using ratchet straps and rest the rear on a table frame which sits just above the base section. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150808_201358_zpsnesozjpo.jpg http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a462/Kaizen088/Chase%20HQ%20DX%20Motion/20150808_201440_zps2ktavf7l.jpg I straighten the pins for the rollers (above right) tomorrow.

Kaizen Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Well after putting 30 hours into this thing since Friday afternoon I finally got to the stage where all wiring had been checked and repaired where necessary. All wiring checked again. I switched the power on and BAM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
