ousoonerfan2006 that's exactly what I did and you are right the majority of the chips had a lot of black tarnish.  It works great now except in freeplay.  If I set the dip switch to freeplay it goes through a boot cycle and just keep cycling.  Switch it back to coin and it works with no problems.  Any ideas on that?  Not a huge I don't mind opening up the coin door and adding credits.

Thanks

Thanks for the help.  I will start with the power supply and voltages and go from there.

Wondering if anyone has any advice on where to start.  The game just keeps cycling the start sequence over and over.  Thanks Tate

I emailed the listing the second hour it was up with no reply and there is no phone number to call.  I have not heard back yet.  I hope they get back to me.  I have been looking for outrun for a while.

Yes I believe the turbo is a conversion from the original outrun.  Pretty common.  I'm going to go with the original working outrun if I can get this guy to email me back.

That would be a cool game to have in the collection.  Here is the one I was talking about http://cleveland.craigslist.org/clt/4296923178.html

I'm not in California, but welcome!   Cool man cave post some pics.

I just looked at segaresurrection.com.  They sell a kit for $40.00 to replace the needed eproms and security processor to resurrect a suicide board from the battery going bad.

If you don't mind me asking what do you think is wrong with the Outrun Turbo?  Like you said I think Outrun is a better game also.  Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. 

I was set on picking up an Outrun Turbo for $100.00 that is non working.  The screen is scrambled and does not have any sound.  Then locally a Outrun just got listed that I can get for $300.00 that just had a cap kit, fully rebuilt steering assembly with new "A" and "B" gears.  What do you guys think?  Should I go get the working Outrun with all the good stuff for a couple bucks more or roll the dice with the cheaper turbo.  I am leaning towards spending the extra money and getting the working Outrun as I don't $300 is a bad .

Great projects man.  I play my DK a lot, and would love to add a Q*bert someday. I hoping to pick up an Outrun turbo this week with a scrambled pic for $100.00.  The cab is in great shape.  Keep the pics coming.

I just capped my dk as well.  I get my caps from partsexpress.  The hole cap kit cost me $8.40 and that included shipping.  They have a ton of caps in stock.  They also have high temp caps for the areas that get a lot of heat.   A good soldering iron and desoldering iron makes doing cap kits easy. 

Here are some pics.

I also have a couple videos on youtube.  Here is one showing the semi automatic pin setting.  You physically just have to load the tubes.  You will see a camera by the ball return that does the automatic scoring just like a bowling alley.  Pins, , width of lane are exact half scale and length is 18ft.  There are black lights and white lights for glow bowl or regular bowl.

http://cambridgearcade.dyndns.org/   I just emailed him last week and they are still in beta.  He said they should be ready to ship soon.

If you could get it for $300.00 that would be a good .  It's hard to find working cocktails for $300.00 around me.  If it works and is original sounds like a pretty good to me.
