Installed the EL panels tonight! I had to put in a claim with ebay to get the sellers attention a month after I paid for them, but I was not really in a big rush to get the parts. Im just glad they got here finally and I did not get ripped off xD I actually ended up mounting the board on the...

New power supply arrived in the mail today! out with the old in with the new! Back in action! I can sleep better at night now! xD

I think my power supply finally died :( The Neo Geo started resetting when the air conditioning kicked on today, and then tonight when I went to play a bit it would not power up. Only some lines on the screen and the coin door lights dont light up. I went ahead an ordered a replacement that's...

Purchased the tool kit today! I used a silly gift card I received from a mail in rebate on my PC Power Supply xD Since I still had some money left over on it, I went ahead and ordered the proper cables to hook up the credit displays! They have already been tested and confirmed that they fit...

Another quick update! Still waiting on the parts to light the mini marquee, but I broke down and bought Windjammers. I was surprised when it arrived with the original box!

Still waiting on parts in the mail, but I thought I would share a quick update. I found a copy of Shock Troopers for a decent price! :D More updates coming soon!

I have not disappeared! I just started slacking on the restoration process ever since I got my 161 in 1 multi cart. My friends and I have been playing the hell out of the cab and loving it! One of my New Years Resolutions is to finish this project up this year! I lucked out and scored some...

Put in my order for the Unibios chip today! I wanted to be sure to get my order in before next month because the site said they are shipping the next batch of chips on June 3rd :D Once it gets here I'm going to purchase the 161 in 1 cart next! Dont get me wrong my friends and I are having a...

Thanks guys! I adjusted the H-Hold and it got rid of the squiggle at the top of the screen! (Thank you Xian Xi!) The picture is still a little bit jumpy, but I think this may be due to the H-Size because when I adjust the H-Pos I can see that the picture is stretched past the screen. I need a...

Aww man! Well I hope you are closer to Orlando than I am. They seem to pop up in that area all the time! About the seller saying it could not be converted back to a Neo Geo. He probably said that because ALL of the original wiring was gone and the cable running from the monitor chassis had been...

Ok ok enough stalling.. The power supply did not have an external switch, so I had to cross my fingers and plug it in to the wall. Which I did and... ITS ALIVE!!! It took a few seconds for the monitor to warm up, but that sweet sweet Neo Geo tune could be heard through my $5 arcade speakers...

*DING DONG* Hmm? Oh ya! Mail Man is here! Whats this? My copy of King of Fighters 98 complete with Shock box! I paid $35 and yes it is legit!

After re-installing the control panel I was ready to call it a day, but I had a friend over who was helping me out. This sped things up a bit and he egged me on to keep going, so the next thing I did was install the main board and wiring harness. Special thanks to Arcade Game for giving me a...

Thanks Mr. Arcade Game! I was going to mention you in an up coming post! Spoilers! ;D Had a BIG day today! First, I had to rebuild the molex connector that had been cut. HUGE Thanks to MidnightMonkey for helping me find the proper pins and connector I needed! After rebuilding the molex...
