Ken, If you lived closer to me, I would buy you an adult beverage!!! I took the bulbs out, plugged it back in, checked on it in an hour, and it was still on!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Put 25 watt bulbs in, left plugged in and on for another hour, still on!!!!!! That's the value of this...

I had my wire routing wrong. On the #8 fuse I'm blowing, left side goes to the "load interference filter" and the right side goes to the on/off switch. I had that wrong in my earlier post. I have (2) 2 amp slo-blo fuses on the left bank. Fuse holders look just fine. Fuse snaps in nice and...

Okay, more scoop. I replaced the fuse and played it this time to see exactly what happens. It was almost exactly 20 minutes on the dot. I'm playing the game, everything is cool, and ZAP it goes dead. Everything goes dead, marquee lights, monitor, and the game. Put a new fuse in, fires right...

Well, thanks to this Forum, I'm getting closer, but I still don't have my Pac Man up and running properly. Rebuilt the monitor, works terrific, sent my board to Hyperspace to be checked and fixed, works terrific. Now, the bad news. After getting my board back, I fired it up and played a game...

For Sale: "Top Draw" Poker Game. Plays 5 card draw poker, and then "Hi-Lo" if you win a hand. Works and looks good. Accepts coins, or can be played for free. Dollar bill acceptor only works sometimes. I was told the laser may just be dirty? I don't know anything about them. Just don't have room...

Sorry Scott, that was me that called. Should have left more details on my message. I should be home most of the day today. Call me on my home # and I'll call you back so I can pay for the call. If not, during the day tomorrow on my cell. I think I left you both #s on your machine. Thanks, hope...

Sorry Scott, that was me 68Vert. I left a message on your machine. Didn't expect you to call me on a Sunday, but I should be around most of the day. Call me at the home # I left on your machine. Thanks, Brian

Okay, I'm going to try to post some pics. The first one should be of the monitor. It's blank, except for the upside down ghost in the lower right hand corner. This next one should be a large view of the whole board. I know these are big, but they had to be for you to see anything!! The...

Thank you for the replies. I've pulled, reinstalled, and checked these chips so many times, I'm getting scared I'm going to break one of pins off from use!! I pulled the board and used a flashlight to see that all of the pins are in their home. All appear fine. At this point, I think something...

Yes, I've been to mowerman's site. It is over my head in about 2 seconds!!! All notches in the chips, including the piggyback, are facing down. Lettering on piggyback is facing down as well.

I finally got my monitor up and running over the weekend with my rebuild kit. First one I've installed, and I've got to admit, it wasn't that bad. It fired right up and looks beautiful. Task #2 was to change out the ROM chips. This game had a variant on it called "Hangley Man". I got my chips...

Okay, so if I remove one cap at a time, and orient the dot on the new cap the same as on the one I removed, I'll be fine right? In otherwords, just the solder side of this one cap is silk screened wrong. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks, and everyone have a great holiday!! Brian

I'm going to be rebuilding my G0-7 over the holiday with my kit from Bob Roberts. I'm guessing from my reading, the cap kit is a pretty straight forward deal, except for the C302 capacitor. Ken referenced this cap in one of his recent posts. Can someone give me some details on the special...

I've got a G0-7 in one of my Pac Man machines giving me fits (as most of you know). I realized the plastic connector plug that goes from the cabinet to the monitor can actually be plugged in both ways Usually, this type of plug can only be plugged in one way, so I didn't mark it upon...

I think I'm leaning towards replacing the flyback and HOT. According the flowchart, it's usually one of those 2 things when you pop F901. It's pretty cheap to do them, so I think I'll just try to get this old guy working again!! Thanks again, Brian
