I Guess Arcade Games Will Survive an Unheated Garage My mom put my Stargate Defender, Defender, and Multi - WIlliam in our garage in Chicago. So for maybe 2 year they went through Chicago winters and summers, no climate control in the garage. I fired up all 3 and only the Multi - WIlliam...

Ok, it was a loose connection on the Stargate and the Defender was missing a main circuit board.

Ok, I will check for loose connections.

I haven't been on this forum for a long time because maybe 2 years ago I went onto a morning job interview, and my mom used that occasion to stick my 3 arcade machine into the garage. Our big strong neighbor Ritchie did it all by himself. I hated what my mom did and I feared the hot & cold...

How much do you earn monthly keeping your Tron on the floor? Chicago arcades have disappeared. Nowhere to go to play arcade classics; you gotta own them instead!

You can also buy expensive Lithium AA's from Menards. I got nothing against you, Riptor, I just feel the Lithium Mod is not worth it for Defender based on other people's experiences.

I regret buying 4 Lithium Battery Mods from Riptor for my Defender boards. So I went back to this on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/Williams-3-AA-Solder-Type-Battery-holder-Pinball-Video_W0QQitemZ270529186561QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3efccbcb01#ht_1050wt_1173 Lithium Battery...

It seems Williams made 2 errors then on their Later Series Drawing Set...

I'm stocking up on replacement chips for my Defender boards, but there is a problem. The Later Series Defender drawing set calls chips 1C & 2C as either a 74LS89 or 74LS189 or 74LS289 chip. But I look at my 3 Defender boards and the 1C & 2C chips are marked SN7489N on them, so they're a 7489...

TRON can be rented on Netflix ; I just saw it recently.

See post #12 from Yellowdog.

OK, silly me guys. I pulled the board out and then discovered it was missing chip 2E, a 74LS257 Quad Data Multiplexer. Will order it from here! http://unicornelectronics.com/IC/74LS.html Now things don't look so bad now that I know it didn't work from 1 missing chip! Problem is now I gotta...

Hey Yellowdog - my 4 Stargate Sound Cards can all be fixed but they are a lot of work! I already have 2 great working sound cards so I don't need 4 more. That's why I tried to sell 3 of them on ebay. I should have just waited to buy a working Defender Board set from you but you were taking so...

Yeah, totally DEAD discouraging! No video screen, sync, or message. Could be a lot of problems. It would be a Proud accomplishment if I can fix this board! Now I got good equipment at my disposal! Just gotta finish lengthening my logic analyzer probes and I'll start testing. And I got a...

I have to rely on MAME for anymore video game I want because my house has no more space for more video games. So I have to settle for MAME controllers. I'm in the process of building 2 MAME controllers so I can play Tempest, Stargate, and Tron. My Logitech Gamepad didn't work well for Front...
