Under Fire cab update

It's been a while since my last post so here's an update:

On saterday, my dad came over and helped me take the old broken monitor out of the cab. I found a new 27" tv for free with a resistor problem. I unsoldered the old resistor and replaced it with a new one and now the tv works great! To flip the picture and miror it, I cut the green and yellow wires and crossed them. Now the tv will work correctly with the mirror in the cab. All I have left to do is mount the tv in the frame and put it into the cab. After that I have to build a new control panel, repaint the side art, create a custom marquee and cp overlay and I'll be done!

I'm still looking for the resistors and diodes I need to repair my Fire! pinball. Once I find them, I'll probably get some help with the pcb soldering. I don't want to ruin the circuit board!

On an unrelated note, Jenny and I are leaving for the Dominican Republic on thursday!
