Question
OzDJ
(My first thread outside the sheltered workshop which is the 'New member intros' section. Hopefully I've posted this in the right place! :) )
I have a Neo Geo MVS 6 slot machine which I picked up on the weekend.
The image on the screen is not nearly as punchy as my teenage memories had me expecting. I found a brightness adjustment, which I dialled to the maximum setting, but it's still only barely visible when there's any overhead or strong ambient lighting. Some games are basically unplayable.
I looked at the chassis and noticed the largest capacitor is bulging like a roid-filled gym junkie. Some of the other caps appear to have seen better days, too (eg sunken tops). I have no idea what the 25" tube itself is like and the capacitors could simply be the proverbial red herring.
I've spent hours looking through other's efforts to do DIY fixes for the display here on the forums and then on YouTube. While I'm OK with a soldering iron, I'm utterly terrified of zapping myself and recognised that this part of the machine is probably something I should leave to someone who knows what they're doing. I've read numerous posts by the venerable JOMAC, got excited by his expertise and professionalism, only to discover he's on the other side of the country. Bugger!
Is there a Sydney-based forum member or sponsor that I can/should connect with to get my display sorted out? Do any of them do on-site repairs? The idea of having to hire a van again and move that monsterous cabinet is already making my back ache.
Thanks for any suggestions.
DJ
