Cap Kit - WIN! And now..My Turbo is 95%!

Okay, so I got some GREAT help on the KLOV.com, coinopspace.com, and RGVAC groups. Turns out, my issue was I had the "Screen" knob on the flyback transformer cranked way up. And, everything else was out of whack too.

So, I tried the "screen", and failed. But, that was because I wasn't using a mirror, and was just running back and forth from back to front.

I found a cheap full length mirror, propped it up, and started working on it. By that point, I'd already started jumping it over to my Lock n Chase.

I have some old speaker wire from a cheap surround sound system that went tits up, so I just jammed that in the appropriate molex connectors, and found that I could mostly get it tuned it.

Damn, skippy, I was happy. So, I quickly hooked the Turbo back up, and boo yah!

In that picture, you can see how the left side of the screen had this weird "fold" in it. I was so damn happy, I didn't care, and played 20 games.

It was like 25 years ago, back in the day, at the Minot, ND "Bump N Tilt" free play arcade. The "drifting" game play using the pedal, and the "spin stop" motion of the wheel, and the way I'd spin in my initials "FUZ" on it.

You just can't beat that feeling.

You also can't beat the "my left leg has lost all feeling" feeling that Sega Turbo gives. LOL. Damn, I'd forgotten all about that! Since actually coordinating pedal movement with steering is key in Turbo, you really have to just fix on your left leg. And, after a while, it's painful.

I'm gonna have to get me a stool now. (I will anyway to help the kiddos play.)

Anyway, I fixed the fold by adjusting the vertical size... but I still have an issue. Aliens are eating the cars...

(The slight white line across the bottom of the screen is my hint the horizontal size is too big.)

Here's a video of the alien attack (before I'd fixed the vertical size issue...)



BTW, you'd think it's a "horizontal" size issue. But as James on RGVAC pointed out to me, every monitor is 4:3 horizontal. Even if it's mounted vertically. "Horizontal" always the long width.
