Title: The woes of a piece of shit. (Karate champ) Post by: iankellogg on March 19, 2014, 07:26:12 am I spent all day trying to fix the shitty sanwa 20I16DU monitor that is in the Karate champ. It took a while but I finally found a part on the board that was shorting out, turns out it is the PTC that controls the degaussing coil. I removed that and don't you know I got video now! But it looks like shit, I know I need a capkit but was wondering what other things I am probably going to need.

Title: Re: The woes of a piece of shit. (Karate champ) Post by: iankellogg on March 19, 2014, 09:54:34 am I am totally getting rid of it after this monitor is working. I might go through the trouble and fixing the joysticks and doing a quick restore but the game is so boring.

Give me Karate Champ over DK any day. Title: Re: The woes of a piece of shit. (Karate champ) Post by: iankellogg on March 24, 2014, 10:36:20 am you are nuts. karate champ has no play value in an arcade.

Title: Re: The woes of a piece of shit. (Karate champ) Post by: lojack on March 24, 2014, 01:55:35 pm do you think that the red cut off on monitor is too high? at the end of the video you can see how low red is bleeding into the black. Does that game offer a monitor test screen? A pic of that might help.
Title: Re: The woes of a piece of shit. (Karate champ) Post by: iankellogg on March 24, 2014, 01:58:35 pm I have played with all of the drive/cutoff knobs and they make very slight changes as soon as I can get a cap kit I am going to do that and test the pots. I think the pots might be okay since they are doing something but something else is over driving the guns. I had a similar problem with a k4900 that was caused by super dry caps having a very high ESR.

You need to flip this game to someone who will truly treasure it. You're not ready for it yet grasshopper. Title: Re: The woes of a piece of shit.

Drive to ct.. go upstairs.. grab a free monitor off my front porch. take the old monitor out and give it a Viking funeral. put the new monitor in. Problem solved.
