    Any repair techs around coastal NH?

    Hi all, my collection is acting up .. or not acting at all - dead tempest, Asteroids w/ power issues, JROK w/ bad monitor, that kind of thing. My regular tech (Sarah) seems no longer to make housecalls, anyone know of a local repair maven? Wish there was a sticky for this, I'm sure it would be...

    Best modern cabinet sized driving game?

    Hi all, i have 1 remaining slot in my arcade .. Loved Pole Position, Outrun, Turbo, etc back in the day, but now i want as modern and realistic as possible.

    Gravitar - crooked display

    Hi all, weirdness w/ my Gravitar board, all the lines are slightly "off". Scores and words slant upwards from left to right, and the lines don't quite line up. Switched in a Space Duel board, and it looks fine, so its the Gravitar board, not the XY. Any ideas? TIA! -t

    JROK Robotron won't credit up

    Hi all, my JROK multi-williams served up an unpleasantry today: I went to play it, and the screen was all white - I rebooted, tried to launch Robotron, and it announced that it was clearing the hi-score tables and resetting to factory settings. OK, fine, i will just have to put up newer &...

    Newbie button question - leaf to microswitch

    Hi all, want to replace some tired out old 80's leaf buttons with microswitches. The microswitch buttons have 3 "large size" receptors, while the old buttons have 2 "small size" receptors, with the 2 black wires both feeding into the top receptor. What's the conversion process here? TIA....

    Donkey Kong - 3rd elevator board

    Can't get past it! Those $%^# jumping pogo sticks go too fast, and I get clobbered every time up top. My guess is there's some way to predict the left/right variation on where they land, but it looks random to me. Any help? PS, this is my newest toy, a 48-in-1 jamma and it is great!

    First post - Tempest problems (NH/Boston)

    Hi all, I found this board trying to web search for help w/ my new Tempest game. I love this game dearly but I fear for its life, and from the sound of this board, old Tempests are pretty tempermental (no pun!) in general. Mine has lots of problems, I won't burden you w/ all of them (yet!)...
