3 AA's in a holder inside of a plastic baggy with a quick connect plug on my Robotron cocktail. Works like a charm. Power up the game, replace batteries and all settings are saved.

I temporarily mounted my joystick at a few different angles to get it to work correctly. I simply duct taped it in place and once I found the sweet spot, I drilled holes for it. It was at 45 degrees that worked best.

thanks. I'll check the connections.

Moved my Gravitar into the arcade. I replaced the plexi glass on the from since it was scratched and someone tried to fix it. Now I notice the image on the monitor seems to almost shake at times.It seems to shift a little. Anyway to stop this from happening? Monitor has been rebuild, capped and...

I'm referring to the ball eject at the top of the playfield.

Are these still available? Mine doesn't kick the ball out. Check the wiring and is there a selenoid that needs to be replaced? Suggestions on how to get this to work again? Thanks.

cocktail does not turn on. like I said the power supply might have to be replaced or rebuilt.

opps, checked the sticker. monitor was rebuilt in 2017.

the monitor was rebuilt in 2013. So I guess all the work was completed on it back then.

nope. the writing does not come off.

hopefully I'll be there for Halloween this year again.

Checked out the hardware. Looks like the 2N3055 has been replaced. Nice and shiny and the thermal paste looks fresh. No real burn in on the monitor but I need to adjust the settings as I can see the red dot in the centre of the screen.

well, I was working on a Gyruss purchase, but the seller didn't want to part with it after all. Worked out a deal for the Gravitar. No issues with the game. Just need to paint the coin door and back door as well as add locks to them. Need to clean up the side art as well as the control panel...

checked out the boards. Big blue was changed. Monitor lv 2000 installed, caps on the power board/sound board replaced. repaint the back door and coin door and add locks. clean up the side art and control panel. Pretty good score.
