So - in my ongoing struggle to get this Neo 29 cab to work, I need to replace the potentiometers on the remote board (the V-Hold specifically). Thing is, I can't find any information on a Hitachi GMK-29FS2 remote board anywhere online. There is no manual scan I've been able to find after an hour of tedious searching, and the candy cabs that use this monitor - those manuals do not have that type of detailed information. The pots themselves have nothing written or etched on them, only a part number: J502E.
I've emailed Peter at Arcade Parts and Repair and he needs that information to find the correct pot. I sent him some pictures, but it's guess work on his end as he is (and I'm finding most people) are not familiar with this sort of repair on this monitor.
Using my multimeter with one lead on ground: One side measures at 2.5 and the other can't hold a steady readout. When I test the two pins (no ground) it will stabilize at 1.5, but when I turn the knob to the other end the readout wavers between 4.x and 5.x.
Thoughts? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for all the help, everyone. Sorry for so many posts about this damn cab, lol. Edit in these new forums won't let you update the thread title, or I'd use my original post from a couple weeks back and just update it.
