Re: Fantastic upgrade of images with video amp

If you look closely at the board itself, it will be silkscreened next to the cap what cap it is. Also the board most likely will have a small + next to the side where the positive lead goes. Yes but Clay's site only gives the caps values and not the CXXX number needed to identify which caps to chan...

Re: Fantastic upgrade of images with video amp

Thanks Mickster. Mine is a Wells Gardner monitor, any idea which caps I should change?
Clay's site has a list of caps but doesn't say where they on the boards.

Re: Fantastic upgrade of images with video amp

Finally got around to fitting the video amp - spurred on by my monitor getting dimmer and taking longer and longer to warm up, yesterday I could hardly see a picture at all at first.

Re: Some missing parts on early test game

Apparently a lot of RFMs that were shipped to europe didn't have spots. Mine came to UK via Holland and the previous owner had retro-fitted the spots but never wired them in. I got them wired up now - easy job. I don't really notice them much when I'm playing a game, I think they come on during Mart...

Re: Requests following the Expo audio

If it ever happens...and its a massive if, I vote for a DIY kit of parts. I'd love to assemble a brand new playfield - lots of lovely soldering. And then the moment of truth as you fire it up for the first time and pray that it doesn't all just burst into flames...oooh the excitement.

Re: New member

Hi, I'm a new member from UK.
My RFM arrives next monday. I 've got a few other pins but not had a Pin2K before.
I probably wouldn't be buying one with without you guys ensuring the format has a future.
Please keep up the good work :)
