I bought this cab off another AA member earlier this week and picked it up on Saturday.

As soon as I got it home I set about stripping the base section apart

By 3am the job was done.

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.

The moving section that the car mounts on has been painted top and bottom, I pretty happy with the colour.

The base has been straightened as best as possible and painted underneath, I'll get the top side of it done tomorrow.

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.

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.

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!?

I think from memory we ended up with two fully working sets, one definately was in japanese and a single working board but not sure which layer.

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.

Just below the white video connector you can see where a 50 pin ribbon cable [M] connector should be, theres also a row behind that that should be populated with IC's.

Before and after of the underside of the base.

 

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.

The piece that the coin mech sits on is missing on the other side, I'll have to get a new one fabricated.

Random orbital sander, 80 grit for the re spray, then 120 and 240 for the original paint.

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.

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.

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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

All going well I should be ready to plug in and test the whole thing next weekend.

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.

The original speaker was rotted so I fitted a used speaker from a cab I parted out.

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.

I straighten the pins for the rollers (above right) tomorrow.

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!
