Super Neo 29....No sound.
Ok.. i managed to scoop a Super clean Neo 29...with 640 plays!?...
Machine was basically in very good condition Bar the usual Yellowing...all amended now & back together!....photo's will follow soon, been far too busy with other projects & of course work!.
So yeah...no sound whatsoever regardless what's plugged in...i just taken delivery of a four slot which had been modified slightly to run MONO in a standard jamma cab.
Now i questioned this & the seller said you can put back to normal for stereo sound, great...i've a dedicated Neo 29...perfect for the job.
So i took photo's of the bypass & removed the wires & reconnected the traces that had been cut...all tested with multimeter & ok.
Got four great titles for it the other day from Phill !..top man , thanks again...all plugged in & all working perfectly!..
I just need to wire up PIN-26 for my game select button...i guess this candy just had a one slot fitted...the board has never been drilled..it really is that clean!.
So everything is working as it should...games cycle & picture is superb , just no lovely stereo !...not a sausage!.
All you have is two wires coming from pins L & 10 from the jamma connector...left & right +...simple, and your earths i've tried grounding on body & direct to either end of the jamma harness/earth points...nothing.
Any input would be appreciated ...right i'm off to paint some more panels for the other Pony mk-4 i got off adam!...not enough time in the day!
Thank you .

Re: Super Neo 29....No sound.
Could it be something super simple like the speakers themselves simply aren’t wired in/connected at the speakers themselves?
Easy to overlook stuff like that when you’re thinking about increasingly complex potential reasons and solutions.

There's not much to these compared to other cabs i see...it could be the 4 slot, i know these are not jamma standard & nothings been altered in the machine, wiring etc..it all looks like its new & been delivered..cleanest machine i have owned, basically all it was cleaning & upper /lower bezel's colour correction!.
Recently sorted some more complex faults on my other candys...& then you think something as simple as this is easy..NO!
Cheers.

Re: Super Neo 29....No sound.
Ah, sussed it....mines a japanese manual...& for some reason just checked here on AO wiki!..the english manual states pins L is Neg & pin 10 is Pos...so these Cabs are wired for Mono ONLY!..
And in the UK manual states that a 2-4 slot should be not used with them, as they are in STEREO!!...so i guess that's why it was modified for MONO!.
So i'll have to put it back to how it was & Viola...we will have sound.
Who would have thought they would have done something daft like this...SNK..surely should have been made compatible with all Mobo's...

Re: Super Neo 29....No sound.
Alright... We now have glorious crystal clear stereo!.. I'd actually forgot just how good the old Neo sounds... Tonight I was back to the nightmare!.. Nam 1975!..
I picked up LB2, kof98, Gmotw.. So the four slots are full!.
So this was running on a pair of windy speakers.. If anyone has a pair of thin oval 90mm wide by 70mm tall speakers give me a bell please.... Many thanks!
Has anyone got any FL-10. 13" flourecent lamp bulbs spare?...

Re: Super Neo 29....No sound.
Love these cabs, came quite close to getting one but flyback (I think) was making a strange noise when I went to look.Seems more room somehow inside compared to astros. One day!
