Getting a free tekken cab from someone. The video is "out of commission" and he can't tell me which version of Tekken it is. (doesn't know)

The guy states that the cab "whirrs" when it starts up. I doubt it's any sort of Power Supply fan and I know 1&2 don't use onboard fans (I owned them)

Question is: which Tekken PCB is inside there?

I think 3 is a System12 board, which I don't *believe* has a fan onboard.

Could it be a System 246 boardset? What revision is Tekken Tag?

Help!

Hmm... good point.

I've confirmed, it's actually a system 12 board and is likely Tekken Tag.. which, if the board works, is actually a pretty damn good score. It would be pretty f'n sweet if I can repair the monitor (there's hope for it.)

Now, to find a buddy with a truck and about 2 hours to kill.

Could be a Tekken 3. Let's hope its a TT, though.

Well, got that cab in today.


It was FREE, so that's the key part of this.

It's a Tekken Tag, which is AWESOME.. Unfortunately, this dope dropped the cab (which snapped the monitor neck.. ugggh) and jacked up the cabinet and broke the BEAUTIFUL 25 inch monitor.

It's going to take some intense TLC to get this cab in decent shape.

The board WORKS, which is really fucking awesome. I could ditch the rest of the cab and be completely happy with the score.

I now have to find a 25in monitor which is local and by a supplier who won't rape me for it.

I also have to shift the cab around. It came apart on the one side, but is still together.. shouldn't be TOO hard to fix, really. I also have to refab a few internal pieces (supports, etc.)

All in all, pretty awesome and just needs some love.

So was it TT or Tekken 3?

Tekken Tag.

It sucks having to find a new monitor.

I'm trying to find an LCD that would fit a 25'' cab and accept at 15khz signal.
