Finally got her in the house! Boy was it hell to do it too...
Welcome to the forum!
You reach up from inside the coin door to unlatch the left and right latches on the back of the control panel. I leave mine unlatched as I like to swap games/systems often.
Hit up the tech support thread to get some help with the screen tint issue and sound issues. I do suggest reading a few of the existing post to get an understanding of what info you should provide if you end up asking for help there. Also, check out YouTube, there are lots of how too videos for common arcade repairs.
I did manage to get it to where it's half-ass decent with the colors. I had someone adjust it while I observed the front. I figured out a couple days ago how to open it up, thanks to the web but I haven't posted in a while.
The sound appears to work, though there's a few things I need to fix with that. I'm fine with how it is right now. I wish there was an easier way to get to the dip switches, cause using the service credit button SUCKS.
Thinking of trading in my Baseball Stars Professional and Soccer Brawl in. I'm not all that big on sports games (however I love League Bowling). Looking for possibly Waku Waku 7 and definitely the Metal Slug games. I'm guessing I ought to stick around the trading post on the forums. I'm a bit leery about price gougers and bootlegs on ebay...
