    I just got a spare 4600 chassis off Ebay that had a spare video interface board, and it seems there were two different versions of that daughterboard. One had the black level towards the front of the board under the sync, and the other had the black level pot on the back of the card on solder side, fun fact! Wells gardner had already thoght of that for us. Ive been so excited for this vid Charlie, thx for sharing!

      Nice! From what I’ve seen, there were two major versions of the interface board like you said, and also some minor revisions of each one. I think they’re mostly interchangeable though (might need some minor mods however)?

      @tigheklory I noticed it just fine, thank you very much! 😅 I was able to adjust it with a regular TV adjustment tool. I have one of the super long fiberglass ones, but that was too big to fit - the flyback was in the way.

    Fun fact, there were official Froggers without wood grain they were off white laminate with the same artwork. I think they were extremely rare though.

      Carnival was like that too, although I think the white was more common than woodgrain in that case.

    My guess is that WG4600 was based off a (consumer) TV chassis. That's why it has that funky design

    • @overtimearcade
      @overtimearcade  2 місяці тому

      It’s entirely possible - there are a few circuits on the main chassis PCB that aren’t populated on the 4600. That’s definitely the case with the Matsushita though.
