I got much better with electronics repair which made me confident to rebuild instrument panel clusters and stuff.... And also im much better working with body filler/bodywork because of it.
Things are on the upswing, other than finally looking for a house and realizing that wont happen until the next housing crash 🤣 im glad to see youre still deep into the game stuff. Hopefully one day ill be your arcade scrapper once again!
If its sounding like a hollywood movie bomb counting down its in shutdown. Suspect shorted h.o.t. maybe more. I had chad entringer fix mine back in the old days and it wasa toasted hot and a few bad caps
Right now im like captain america frozen under ice. Blown up, crashed, and frozen solid... but i'm going to come back for a sequel, rest assured.
I hope all of you are still enjoying the hobby. I sure miss it.
It sure feels like a lifetime ago. Idk...sure I'm pretty rusty nowadays. Sad to see the old post has bombed out photos and god knows what old laptop I had them on but either way they're gone.
It's nice to see some of the ogs still here!
This is one of those cases where owning a crt rejuvenator comes in handy...just for testing.
I remember spending weeks on a chassis trying to figure it out only to finally test the tube with my new to me rejuvenator and surprise...tube was toast. Tried to rejuvenate the tube but lost red so...
I got to experience this earlier than many of you guys did. The more the economy heads towards the toilet, the more this is gonna happen sadly as more and more folks start prioritizing rent and food over fun stuff like this hobby.
For whatever reason the pinball market seems to be a bit more...
