Power is on the board with Jr. Pac-Man as well.  Tested power from cord, through fuses and to the pcb and it all checks out.  Ironically my Ms. Pac-Man cab started displaying F's and A's across the screen today after it was working fine for the past several weeks.

Nope, wasn't that one.

I actually was up in Lansing last weekend visiting my brother-in-law and went to his new business location and there they were, buried and sitting in the back of the garage.  I immediately asked him send a text to the building's owner and he said he had sat on them for 9 years hoping to get to them as a project someday and never did so he offloaded it what I considered a steal of a price.

Wish I could always find those!

I picked up this cabinet last weekend and after a careful cleaning and doing an initial look over, I turned it on and the display was beautiful but shows garbled images and there's no sound.  The test switch and credit button doesn't seem to do anything either so I'm not sure if it's a power issue,  wiring harness issues, or what.

I'm pretty new at this, but so far I've checked the ROMs/EEPROM's to make sure they are seated and was not able to find any visible loose chips, wires or bad solder points anywhere.  My next step is to pickup a multimeter and make sure there's no glaring power issues anywhere but am curious if anyone has had any experience with similar issues and can point me in the right direction.

Below are a couple of pics I took of the issue.

Hello everyone from Kalamazoo, Michigan!

It's been my dream for many years to have my own home arcade and am now starting to realize that dream with my family.  I started out with some pinball machines last year (Iron Man and Pirates of the Carribean) and just picked up my first two standup cabinets last weekend (Ms. Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man field kit conversion in a Pac-Man cabinet).  While in decent shape I'm already working on stripping down the pieces to restore.

I have great memories of growing up in a local arcade called Star World and in a world of console games, cell phones and tablets, I want to pass similar memories on to my children of real, original gaming.
