Thanks for the tips, all. I'll take a look at what I can on Thursday when I hopefully get some free time. I'm just about to go on a 10 day work trip so I'd like to get rolling before that. Joe's actually been very cool and suggested I take the monitor to someone he knows for repair and that...

I know these are old machines and the designers weren't thinking 30 years down the road. I got a little hot because this is day one with this machine, I'm actually eager to learn to do repairs that don't have a potential to kill me. Like I said, to be fair, Sgt has answered my email and...

You did and in our last email you said you didn't run the game for a couple hours so you didn't know about it. I want to be fair, you did show me the start up issue. It'll just be hard for me to get a truck and load it up to look at. I'm sure you can understand why I got a little upset when I...

Ahem... Is this the same Asteroids that you just traded to me a few hours after this post? Monitor is a little wonky when it powers up, after a minute it's fine and then after a couple hours I can feel the heat coming out of the vents where the control panel is and the screen gets warped...

Thanks for the clarification.

Ultimately, I think I'd like to pick up the parts to get some of the dual screen Nintendo games. Some of the more traditional NES ones don't excite me as much as Balloon Fight and the other dual exclusives like Wrecking Crew. Also, Tennis and other 4-player games would be a high priority...

I think the original Nintendo board has been hijacked and I know it's wired for jamma.

The post says those are great for Robotron which is an 8-way. Wouldn't that be problematic?

Thanks, I've got my Dig Dug at bar height with two wheeled stools (like you'd see in a pool call) and love it that way.

Heh. I talked him down to 200... It ain't pretty and I kinda hate these quarter munching beat 'em ups (but I have soft spot for comics). One monitor is mint, the other has Tennis burn but looks good running and the control panel... well it makes me cry. I'm not sure why I got it but I...

Gracias, tta583!

Never thanked you for the info. Apologies, modessitt. I did get it working although I had to save after I turned off the 8 way games and some lesser games I didn't care for and again after doing all the dips. Some of them come defaulted to a very "nerf"ed setting. Now, I'm still dealing with...

Still looking if you have a 4 way.

4 player suggestions? Just bought a JAMMA+ Red Tent Vs with 3 buttons per player Heya. I just got a Red Tent system in fair to decent shape (one great monitor, one decent one with Tennis burn) that has been rewired for JAMMA, had an extra button installed per player and is currently running...

Anyone headed to the Pinball Expo this weekend? I'm going to try and make it on Saturday in the mid afternoon.
