Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Sega, 1995Frankenstein Sega machine. It seems to mostly have data east boards in it. This machine seems to just have the sound resetting. Game seems want to say Frank then cuts out, then says Frank, then cuts in and out several times then no sound. Like it is stuttering or struggling with the first sound clip. Its should say Frankenstein and start the music. I just replaced all 3 ribbon cables with no luck. 
Any help or direction?
I recently purchased a Frankenstein and had the same issue. The answer I got when asking the same question was that when you first turn on the machine and only get half of frank... is completely normal and all sega and data east machines do that. It should only happen at start up. If the sound is resetting while playing then you have a different issue. I had the display resetting which might have caused certain sounds from happening at the time of reset, but not sure about that. I fixed the problem by ordering a new dmd power cable from Marco. The new cable is intended to fix the power problem and sega issued a service bulletin with the installation procedure.
