I hit a snag the other night I started cleaning the second cab and as I gave it a good wipe down, the paint just started flaking off, and it got worse and worse as I cleaned more.. The initial thoughts were “touch up”, but what started like this… Ended 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
Blast City – Pick Up
Here I am with another project – I’m a sucker for punishment! A few weeks ago, I was given an ad on Gumtree for a couple of Blast Cities located in Newcastle. I was umming and ahhing about getting them as I really don’t have room. Mrs said, “just buy Continue Reading
Marquees have light
Bought another T5 led to fit on the noir. Removed the old ballast, wired it up to some connectors. Turned it on and bob’s your uncle! God the monitors on these cabs are amazing! Considering these are 12 yo 720p lcds, they still look amazing! Next step was to sort Continue Reading
Crimpin’ aint easy
Busy night with the crimper tonight. Got harnesses made up for the noir and she’s working like a treat! Made the harness so it’s completely interchangeable with the original connectors, this way if I want to use a jvs game board, it’s a matter of unplugging from the dual mod Continue Reading
360 PCBs
What a crappy day at the office with doing the controller pcb… I didn’t want to really purchase anything new for the pcb as my main purpose is pc and 360 for the noir. I knew I had some old pcbs from when I used to mod peoples fight sticks Continue Reading
Please check Fans
Managed to disassemble the monitor and give the fans a good clean and gave it a good spray of wd40 which made the alert disappear! Unfortunately, after a few days, the dreaded fan alert is back! I’ve ordered some 24v fans off ebay so I’ll see how those go in Continue Reading
