I bought a millipede co-op arcade today?

I have a few questions first off do these take anytime to warm up before displaying a picture, 2nd question I know it powers up as all the leds light up so are these easy to get fixed. Anyhelp would be appreciated. Thanks Bill

Greeting fellow Hoosier!

Do you hear the monitor (high pitched like a TV)?

Check all of your connections.

Check your fuses.

Put a quarter in and see if it will "play blind" (start a game and see if it makes the correct noises).

Check these and get back to us.

 

BTW: if it is wired up correctly, if the back is off or if the coin door is opened the game will power off - so watch this - but it will kill ALL of the power.

Back when I worked on games, I noticed that several later Atari games like Millipede & Xevious came with Matsushita monitors that were really flaky.

The Millipede game I do hear the buzzing from the monitor and the glass tube on the back of monitor gets to glowing pretty Bright Red. The first time we plugged this in I could see characters and part of the game than that was it. The Robotron game Gets power everywhere and that is all it does I get no screen what so ever No sound Nothing I checked this out with a power tester and this gets power through every wire and to every part of the system just doesn't do anything Please Help!!

When I turn off the power and turn it back on the sreens does flash and just a few minutes ago the screen actually resembled millipede and then it went to a horizontal stripe and then faded to black.. I really want these 2 games to work.. Thanks Bill

Sorry correction it made a vertical stripe than went away. Thanks

If you put a credit on the machine does a game start?

Do you have the schematics for the game and the monitor?

Have you checked for the correct voltages at the power supply?

Have you pulled the game boards and visually inspected them ?
