    Tempest: Would this fall under minor adjustments?

    Thanks for the remedy suggestions. Now I just have to get motivated to pull it out of the line up.

    Tempest: Would this fall under minor adjustments?

    Is it possible to make minor adjustments to “square up” the grid on Tempest? Possibly adjustments with the rings on the neck of the monitor. I don’t even know when I’d make time to do it, but curious if this is a low level monitor guy problem to be able to fix.

    What fixed your game today / general repair log

    Not WHAT, but WHO fixed my game today? TRON was displaying garbage for 4 years, and I finally stopped being lazy and packed up the boards and sent them out for repair. CDJUMP rebuilt the power board (replaced about 15 or more components) several of which were taken out by the almost 40 yr old...

    Tron PCB component

    Same thing happened to mine. I removed the battery. My game displayed garbage and wouldn’t boot. I procrastinated for 3 years and just got my board back from CDJUMP. I SENT OUT MY suitcase to another repair guy , Sean Dotson. I’d remove that battery ASAP.

    ms pacman - any major issues?

    Amen. I’ll PM him. Nothing broken, but a lot of “fine tuning” needed on a couple machines. Would love to see if one of the 3 13” tv’s I have would be a suitable replacement for a tube swap on my cabaret Crazy Climber… Haven’t met him in person yet, but sure seems like an awesome guy. Like...

    ms pacman - any major issues?

    Well Gleek, I’ve contemplated hiring Mecha to just do some arcade work for me, but I probably can’t afford him. I believe he was the main repair guy for an arcade here in Wisconsin (Garcade ) and maybe he still is. I know he’s a fountain of repair knowledge, and always willing to help.

    Ms Pacman Restarting/Glitching

    A reply to an old thread. This is what I love about this site and all the knowledge, time, and effort people are willing to put forth to help each other out. I guess the biggest reason is we LOVE THESE GAMES… and are willing to spend the time and research necessary to keep them tip top. I just...

    Looking For Monitor Repair Training

    I watched 4 or so hours of Randy Fromm’s videos and took pages and pages of notes and drew simple diagrams to refer back to. I had enough confidence afterwards to discharge my G0-7 in my lifeless Centipede cabaret and days/hours later it was fixed and had a crisp, bright, beautiful picture...

    TRON Mcr power supply. Battery acid damage and a bit of clean up.

    Happened 3 years ago and just now working on a replacement and someone to rebuild (if this isn’t too bad) Working with CDJUMP on this at the moment.. He’s apparently the “Jedi knight” of repairs… I’d welcome any additional suggestions for repair/testing/rebuilds. Thanks. Bill

    High Score Batteries - What do you guys do?

    In the event that you replace batteries in your Williams games (my Robotron board) the arcadeshop sells battery mod kits for $10. Pretty simple install. Need to do Joust next. Best of luck.

    Tron Arcade - Monitor Issue, Board Issue, Both?

    It’s frustrating. My TRON has been down for around 2 years.. displayed garbage on the screen and wouldn’t boot up. The white (battery for saving high scores maybe) leaked acid all down the board.. removed it and used ZUD TOILET BOWL cleaner to scrub away the mess.. but the MCR suitcase may have...
