(05/15/2016) - Ultra-secret project and other things...

I have been contemplating an "ultra-secret" project for quite a while now and yesterday I finally got busy making it happen.

I first started by doing all of the wiring and testing out all of the controls to make sure it was all working.  This took quite a while, and several different searches on the 'net to find the correct schematics for this particular piece of hardware - but it now works and it's really cool to see it working.




The next step was pulling out an old arcade game from storage and gutting all of the existing hardware from it.  I was able to rip out the old JAMMA harness, CRT, game board (1942) and controls in just a few minutes and vacuumed out all of the old crud that was inside of it.

Next (no picture of this), I installed the new "ultra-secret" system and a couple of boards required to make this system work and started figuring out how to mount the new LCD monitor and what changes are needed for the control panel.

Flash came over and helped me work on Jonathan's car a little bit more.  The front suspension now seems great, and has about a 2 inch drop from factory as well.

*Flash also saw the "ultra-secret" project in action and thought it looks cool.

I need to install the rear springs so that his car will sit level, and install a new temperature sensor because it's leaking coolant.
