I miss Johns vids also. I hope we get a video again even if it’s just a short one to say Hi or  what he’s been up to I know he does not owe us anything I hope he’s safe and well with everything going on .

I really miss the videos.

I'm sure John will post video's when he's ready. He's got a life like the rest of us and he needs to do what he needs to do.

Although I'm craving a new video too. Just saying.... 

Had a few minutes to tinker with it today so I looked over the schematics and found two good test points to measure B+ at. B+ was 67.5 volts. The manual say it should be 73 volts. However the game ran for over 1 1/2 hours today without a glitch. I "could" adjust the B+ but I don't want to until I can measure it while the monitor is acting up, so for the next few days I'm going to turn it on when I get up in the morning and let it run until it acts up or I have to leave for work. If I can't get it to act up then I'm going to pull the board and install the two cap kits I bought for it (main board and power supply section) and touch up ever single solder joint then reinstall it and set B+ to 73 volts and then let this thing run everyday until I'm convinced that it's actually fixed.

Thanks for the suggestion John, it at least got me to start looking into this. I'll keep you posted.

johns probably tierd of the hobby i know ive been! i just been getting back in to it buying pins and pushing my vids out of the basment i think im going to be a pin guy now

Thanks, man!

Just taking a break.

This was a year ago. Miss your video's man! Hope you're okay.

No not yet. I have the manual for it and schematics. I'll see if I can figure out how to check it. Thanks John.

Any chance that there might be a flow chart for a Wells Gardner 19V1001? I'm having fits trying to get a Space Invaders back up and going. The video on the screen slowly fades away until you can't see the picture. I've ordered a cap kit but I have a hunch that there's another problem.

I looked. Couldn't find one. Check B+?

So I discussed this cab with John briefly and he suggested throwing a Jamma Pandora box into it. I am intrigued by the idea but not familiar with that piece of gear and there are so many online to purchase I want to be able to weed out the garbage ones.

Any people out there willing to lend some info on there jamma multicade boards, who to buy from and which will work best with my 4P horizontal cab?

Thanks in advance!
