Push through last night and installed the cp and 3 button harness just to get going! Happy to report everything is working properly! Here’s a quick test run with DDP DOJ on IGS PGM One issue I have (and a lot of blast city owners) is corner convergence. Not much Continue Reading

Blast City – It’s alive!
This weekend that just passed, I set myself the goal of “just getting the shell screwed in to the base” as the shells had “dried*” *more on that later. The wiring deceivingly took WAAAAY longer than I expected as I decided I would take out all the old clips and Continue Reading
Blast City – Hiatus
Wow, it’s been 4 months since I last updated! I haven’t really had much motivation to finish it off, I had one cab in its place with the rest of the cabs which made me really delay the finishing of the other cab. With that said, I recently sold off Continue Reading
Blast City – Speaker Replacement
Not much has been happening, we’ve had terrible weather the last few weeks and I just cbf atm.. lol The only thing I’ve worked on are the speakers. I purchased these speakers online https://www.parts-express.com/aurasound-ns2x3-184-4a-2-x-3-extended-range-driver-4-ohm–296-256 They are slightly bigger than the original stock speaker, but it’s the closest thing I can find Continue Reading
Blast City – Prepping for primer
Managed to get some a few hours worth of work on the weekend. First had to spray the decal residue with some IPA The next 3 hours were spent on hand sanding/feathering on all the areas that had flaking. Gave it a good clean with wax and grease remover before Continue Reading

Blast City – Elbow Grease
Since the first cab is now confirmed operational, this cab seemed to be the better condition cab so I gave it a good clean! It’s amazing what some elbow grease and a magic eraser can do! I personally like some “war wounds” on the cab so I decided to keep Continue Reading
Blast City – Wiring
Now I sorted out the monitors, it was time to start making my way onto the cab and seeing what else needs to be fixed. First off the rank was power. I needed to figure out what was the status of the power. This cab is 100v, so I purchased Continue Reading
Blast City – Monitor 2930
So this post will be about the 2930! As mentioned in the previous post, when I plugged in the 2930 all I got was a blue image, I couldn’t get any Red or Green bias dialled in. When I reached out to Joey who said check the transistors which I Continue Reading
Blast City – Monitor 2931
Joey advised that he worked on both chassis and was able to bring them back to life so they were operational. He also stated that he used the last 2931 flyback he had so that was a bonus. They arrived and looked brand new compared to what they were when Continue Reading
