Yup..PSU was gone on it for a start
Now looks like the whole board stack is fecked as well.
Model 2 boards are a pricey affair and rare to come by.
Its a real problem when getting these model 2 cabs.

Yeah moe from videotronics sent me one...arrived in 2 days but turned out that was dead as well! He sent me another straight away no questions asked.
Good service

God speed...can't wait to see that beast in action.
Can you actually play it before it conks out or what's the story?

Grand, fired him off an email there to see if he has another one.

If I start it from cold I can usually clear the first stage before it'll lock up, once it does though it usually won't last long on a restart. barring taking some readings with a multimeter I havn't messed with it much incase I'm doing damage to the game boards or anything

Good stuff..
Yeah those boards are power hungry beasts,any deviation in voltage and they are known to give up the ghost..did ya check all 5v connections coming from PSU?

Yep, the 5v is all over the place...check this out

Unky what boards are you looking for ?.

Thats a bit mad alright.
And that 5v is fine from every 5v output on the PSU,even when the cab decides to shut up shop?

Think it might have -5 in it too, will check tomorrow & let you know. Cheers Mitch

Looks like just a normal model 2 PSU
Should be just loads of 12v and 5v outputs plus one -5v connection which is'nt usually used

Mitchomagic

might have both will check,

unky
might know where there is a set of boards,will let you know

cheers
