By nothing, the marquee does come on and I can tell the screen turns on I can see the flash when I flip on the power but beyond that, I can't get the game to work ...

Alright here's problem this time ... I turned on the Ms. Pacman machine and had the screen showing yellow bars scrolling almost sideways across the screen. So I turned it off, and then turned it back on and now ... nothing. I pressed the buttons and nothing happens. I have no idea what's going...

Okay so I've had this Street Fighter machine for a few years now and just recently have got the bug to see what it originally was. So I pulled it out of the row and saw a few layers. One is the normal ugly black paint that all the beautiful old cabinets seem to get sooner or later. The next...

I'm probably going, but still trying to figure out if I can buy anything tonight like you could at the last one at the Farm Show Complex ... I won't be able to make the auction tomorrow and there really isn't much use in going if I can't pick anything up ... except to look at all the pretty...

Will they be selling anything Friday? I know the auction is Saturday and everything, just wondering if anyone sells there stuff during the free preview ...

I heard they will be set up Friday as well ... Is this true? I work Saturday and would love to make it out and maybe pick something up ... Also, for you guys talking about food, there's a great bar not too far away (maybe a mile or so) called Appalachian Brewing Company ... -Adam

I'll be visiting Richmond Virginia and was wondering if there were any good arcades down there or any good game stores. -Adam

Not that I kind tell, who ever converted it did a pretty solid job of covering up what it originally was.

I have a 1990 Konami Aliens machine I picked up about a year ago, I didn't have the keys so I finally got around to prying open the back and looking inside. The outside looked good so I figured It was an original cabinet, but read yesterday on KLOV that there were no dedicated Aliens cabs, they...

Well I went to a very old electronics store who had one 2114 memory chip and I went home ... popped it in and ... it works great. I'm so happy right now, thanks for all your help riptor ... I couldn't have done it without you ... Can't wait for my next project now -Adam

That info was really helpful ... thank you so much. I switched the ram cards and sure enough, it showed a different screen. Then just for good measure, I switched them again ... again I got another error screen. So lastly I put all the ram cards back in the original lineup and it showed my...

Well I found the 6 2214 cards ... took them out, and then put them back in. Fired it up and still had the same screen. Though the first card looked rather oxidized and old, the rest looked perfect. Do you know if the message meant which card was bad? Because it did say "Bad C Ram 1". Anyway...

I just toggled a switch in the coin compartment and it showed the message "bad c ram 1" hopefully this means something and can be fixed. Please help -Adam

I just bought an original Ms. Pacman machine the other day. It was stored in a guys garage and was very cold and the right side of the monitor was curved up. I bought it anyway and sure enough went I brought it home, it went back to the way it should look. But that isn't my problem. It's worked...
