Same here; any options for keeping the scores on power down?

Excellent! I just read the inside cover on that link and indeed it is my old arcade in Denton!! Yes!!!

@snakeimp: which mall is that and where did you find it?? that’s fantastic! I’ve been trying to dig up a picture of that arcade for years! I always dreamed about trying to re-create that sign with the infinity mirrors in my own personal arcade someday!

Sorry, just the base and mounting bell

Oh man, I ordered side art, cpo, and marquee and bezel last year and just gave up last month and canceled the order. Not sure if I still want to replace my side art since it is in decent shape but just faded (with an Aladdin's Castle metal inventory tag on the side) but my bezel has tons of...

Recently my Atari Lunar Lander (with a G05-801) has started to jitter or shake a bit. I made a quick video where you can see the text at the top is kind of jumping/shaking around. Any suggestions on where I should start looking? I've search a few other posts that describe waviness but I'm not...

I've gotten them from all over, mostly off eBay vendors so I suspect you're correct about possible quality issues. Your explanation about the board not causing drain makes sense now that I think about it since it's basically all internal. I had looked around at other NVRAM replacements...

Why is that? Just wondering what makes them different. The DS1230 Dallas NVRAM was supposed to last 20 years and I never had one go more than 1.5 years. So are they just that flakey or is the board putting some sort of load on them that drains them faster? This situation occurred on BOTH of...

Just a FYI: After having replaced about 4-5 of these silly NVRAM chips and then finding no valid alternatives to using that chip, I've concluded that there must be some continuous drain on the batteries in the NVRAM and this problem will just be inherent to that setup indefinitely. (I have...

Great information everyone. Thanks so much! :)

I'm not getting what I would call a 'hum'. It is a massive amount of static/hiss in the background (more than the normal, more subtle hiss/static) and it is present regardless of the volume of either the cheap squeak or the sound channel. It just started happening about 2 weeks ago. I've...

I'm wanting to re-cap my Midway MCR Power Supply in my Spy Hunter to see if that fixes a constant static sound coming through the speakers. I've got a decent supply of radial electrolytic capacitorsbut looking at the board, there's a few axial capacitors that I'm not exactly sure about. They...

Just ordered one! Thanks!

@KaBoom1701 / @silvereagle / any-other-op-wolf-owners: One other question: did you guys add a 'credit' button to the machine to allow for free play? I don't see a free play dip switch setting so I was thinking about adding an external credit button the cabinet but I didn't want to start...

Now that the Operation Wolf is working 100%, I finally got out the Escalera and got it up the stairs and into the arcade. (I'll have to bring it back down again once the side art arrives since I'll have to fix some corner damage and sand everything smooth). For now it gets a spot at the end of...

Just wanted to give a shout-out to @wim outrun: he has sets of reproduction Operation Wolf grips & mine arrived today and they are simply awesome! Check it out: Top notch work!

Yea it really makes the game more fun to play. The triggers aren't cheap but I suspect you'll think it's worth it :) It is possible to recreate the rubber trigger effect using a rubber end cap like this but I'm not sure what perfect size would be.

Also, after reading about @KaBoom1701's restoration, I decided to follow suit and replace all the stops and covers in the base and underneath with new ones from ArcadeFixIt.com. I also bought a new trigger from them as well since they come with the rubber coated trigger than makes the game WAY...

So I've been away for a week or so but I did get the gun completely powder coated and reassembled. Taking it apart was quite the feat: it is pretty difficult to figure out the sequencing but I made videos and I disassembled it so I would be able to reassemble it once the powder coating was...

That’s great news. Hope I’m included in that run!
