Tanooki Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I picked up a 60in1 iCade multicade cocktail last night for free of all things, but it was not complete. There's no screen so I went and picked up a cheapo 15" just to test it, thankfully the guy was honest -- it works. Problem? Audio. I can not get the speaker inside to work at all, but he said it did for him when I asked after I got home and wrote the dude. The board has a phones jack on it, I could halfass it with some headphones/pc speakers that don't use an AC adapter as that may work but I'd rather get the speaker in there doing its thing. I traced the two wires back from the speaker to the long jamma harness set to both pins on Row #10, which I could find online is correct for the audio (located manual in PDF format.) I'm stumped. Second to that, I want to get a correct screen for this. Best I can see you need a 19" LCD. I could go the $170-200 shipped route for the original panel, or I could track down a PC LCD for like 25% of that about as the multicade uses a VGA jack anyway along with a monitor power cable. I'd really like to get this thing working right, as of now it's jury rigged with a monitor bent back sitting on a board and a piece of drywall to keep it level under the open view space and I have to run a wire from some speakers outside for the sound which isn't convenient at all.

TPA5 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) For the audio, (and maybe you already checked this out) but there's a thread with some great troubleshooting tips here: https://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=166700 As for the monitor, not much to do about that except either bite the bullet and go for the OG panel or get a "close enough" panel. Depends on your budget, but if it was me I would likely go for the "good enough" PC panel. If you're feeling frisky, you could also throw a cheap VGA scanline genny into it for 'dat retro cred: https://paradisearcadeshop.com/scan-line-generators/1253-mini-slg.html Any pictures of the cab?

TAV Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Its been awhile but I had bought monitors from Holland Computers for two multicades and I am happy with them, they are easy to mount and the picture is nice..... http://www.hollandcomputers.com/store/pc/19-Inch-Arcade-Game-LED-Monitor-Jamma-monitor-MAME-and-Cocktail-game-cabinets-2510p6003.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
