Picked up a keeper a few weeks ago, a Journey by midway. Fixed all the
sound issues, replaced all the roms & rams (& sockets), & have the
game running great with all sounds present. I have 2 problems:

I can see the guys heads in all the screens fine, but theres weird
small lines running through there heads, the cartoon bodies are fine,
im stumped.

The tape player works & the tape is good too, but it does not power up
when I end all the levels & they play the concert... It DID when I
first got it running...strange..

ANY help you can offer me is greatly appreciated as I have been
cursing this game for over 2 months now =[

Did you burn new roms chips with the original rom files? Have you swapped the old rom chips back in the pcb? The lines could be caused by a corrupt rom file.

Perhaps put a photo up and provide a link? The pattern of the lines (if
there is a pattern) may tell us something. Otherwise try tweaking the
power supply voltages a bit if adjustable. Old RAM can be fussy about
the voltage they prefer.

other games by now.
