Question
snippy
Gday all,
My brother picked up this LAI Uniwar S cocktail machine a few weeks ago, when powered up you can hear the sounds of the game running, hitting the start buttons it makes game noises and responds etc. From what I've read Uniwar S is modified/hacked galaxian hardware setup to run ghostmuncher (pacman clone) and a space invaders clone. KLOV seems down so I can't get the direct link, search for "Uniwar S" it shows up on klov.
The fella he got it from said that the monitor was not 'stuffed', it just stopped working when they moved it so it has to be a 'loose wire'.
I've got my brother to check all the fuses, they seem fine. There doesn't appear to be any 'loose wires', not that we really know what to look for. You know how most monitors you can hear them hiss or a slight buzz or something when they're powered up - this one it's dead silent, it makes no noise at all. Not sure where to start when troubleshooting this type of problem.

Can't believe the condition, the machine honestly looks brand new, the insides are completely spotless and even the dodgy top artwork looks to be in great nick, the picture cracked me up a bit actually.
I suspect the chassis/tube is stuffed, but i'm definately no expert on this kind of thing. Is there a few telltale signs we can look for ?
Snippy.
