    Does polarity matter on leaf switches?

    I should have clarified. With relation to the rapid fire board, does polarity matter? The original harness had the wires soldered on and the new harness has QDs. Does it really make a difference?

    Does polarity matter on leaf switches?

    Howdy, Does it matter which wire, signal or ground, is put on which end of a leaf switch? I am trying to fix the rapid fire on my Galaga. It worked before replacing the wiring harness but now it doesn't.

    Galaga wiring - Where is "common ground"

    Hello, I sent in my boards to be refurbished and when they came back my machine did not work. It didn't work before, either, but it had worked in the past. The machine powers up and goes to demo mode but does not have any sound. It does not coin up, nor does it play in free play mode. I have...

    Anyone pick up the new Duke NukeEm?

    I got it for my son. He loves it. "Freaking awesome", he says. When he's done with it, I'll play it. I don't play FPS games on consoles so I got the game for PC.

    What's wrong with carbs, other than that the word is hard to spell? Just curious, my bike has a carburetor. I don't know any better, never having ridden a fuel injected bike.

    Favorite Girl Scout cookie?

    In Texas they are caramel delites. That's what my wife and son like. I like the Thanks-A-Lot.

    WTB: Quarters (Yes, really)

    I would change that to be the range 1978 to 1983. :) The problem you'll have is that the quarters are so heavy it'll be tough to ship them in any quantity. I agree with Riptor, just get some quarters at the bank.

    BILLY MITCHELL is Back Bitches !!!!

    I think Hank will be back. I recall in the interview he gave when he got the high score that he said there was a higher score in him.

    Playfields as wall art?

    I hot glued a string of Christmas lights to my old playfield with the intention of building a shadow box around it and displaying it in my man-cave. I never built the shadow box, but the playfield looks pretty neat when lit up.

    Galaga crashes

    I've already adjusted the switcher. The voltage on the switcher is adjustable and I measure it as 5.2 volts on the switcher. The voltage across a certain capacitor on the board measures 4.9 volts. I guess I can find another suitable point on the board to measure voltage, in case that particular...

    Galaga crashes

    I looked at the edge connector, it didn't seem corroded or extra dirty. Neither does it seem loose. I cleaned it anyway with an eraser. When I was done I still got only 4.95 volts on the +5. The game still crashed but it got to the high twenties before doing so. I don't want to use too much...

    Galaga crashes

    I reseated the connectors on the boards. No change. I measured resistance between GND on the switcher to the minus terminal of the capacitor on the board. With the power off, the resistance was about an ohm. With the power on, about 200 ohms. What should be used to clean edge connectors? An...

    Galaga crashes

    I measured voltage at the switcher and the +5 volts reads 5.17, which is normal. It also adjusts. Oddly enough the voltage on the board showed 4.95 volts today. ???? I measured voltage on the board according to Arcadeshop's recommendation, which is to measure it across a large capacitor...

    Galaga crashes

    The problem is definitely voltage. The voltage reads 4.52 volts, I used the connection suggested by the Arcadeshop Galaga page, which is across a large capacitor on the main circuit board near a power connector. I adjusted the trim pot on my switcher, but the voltage reading appeared to be the...

    Galaga crashes

    I hosted a baby shower tonight and I was entertaining the husbands upstairs. I turned on my Galaga which hasn't been on in a while, possibly months. After a while I came back and I noticed that the grid which briefly displays during POST was showing. I don't know if anyone had been playing the...
