Sega Aero City

Blast City – leak found!
So I’ve spent some significant time on this – fortunately, I didn’t get zapped along the way! After reading the thread on Aussie Arcade – https://www.aussiearcade.com/topic/72785-sega-blast-city-abnormal-voltage-on-signal-ground-and-more/, I decided to take away my internal tx out of the picture just like the OP did.

Blast City – we found a leak!
For those that remember this post.. Blast City – Zap! I got a nasty little shock the first time I powered on this cab. I thought it was due to the switch, but I’ve since received another shock or two when I tried adjusting values through the remote board and Continue Reading
Blast City – We found a donor!

Blast City – convergence strips
Spent some time on the public holiday to configure the monitor. Here’s the cross stitch of the monitor before any convergence work.. After about two hours worth of mucking around and me $h**ting myself, this was the best I could do (also ran out of convergence strips) The bottom left Continue Reading
