I use both of these and a few other Atlas testers. As far as these 2 testers go, None have steered me wrong.... yet. They are cheap but are definitely helpful. Id say worth the price.

Off the top of my head i cant remember if there is one here, but check for a fuse mounted on the underside of the control panel.

This is great. Im going to have to employ this technique for one of my Galagas. I got a flaky custom as well. Game will boot then the game will rapidly start coining up. The the ships disappear. I've located the issue down to connection with one of the customs(cant remember the number off the...

I did end up finding someone to help with the glass. Ill post results when I get it. Might take a couple of months to get it back. Thanks to everyone :)

Great question. I could be wrong but this machine is from the late 60s or early 70s. I only know of Zoltar from the movie Big which is from the late 80s. There could have been Zoltars before Big though. I am not sure.

You know, i saw this website too. I think I will reach out. And @p0rgy8190 ill see what I can do to get this scanned!

I dont have the means to scan it at the moment. All i have is an all in one printer with a scanner and i doubt it is the quality I am looking for. Glue can be done. I already know the type of Loca glue I want to use. Ill have to find someone to reverse print it. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks man. It was placed in a precarious spot unbeknownst to me. We had a little flooding in the shop today so i was moving a floor standing shelf.......and....yea. big surprise by me like "where the hell was that sitting????"

Restoring a Zoltan fortune teller machine. Tape works. All works. We ran into a snag. Not sure what to do here. Glue? No clue if someone can reprint this on glass. Im gonna look around but I am afraid I am up shit creek.

Make sure that bodge wire youre using has a coating. If not, make sure you're not unintentionally shorting. you may have fixed this already but, your wire is shorting R173(?), Pin 8 of U117, pin 6 of U116, and potentially pin 1 of U116 all together. That is, if the wire isn't coated. I can't...

This has been entertaining to read. Thanks to everyone who stuck it out and provided info. Anything I would have said has already been posted by numerous members.

Good call! Never thought to check. However 6 is off and i checked with a multimeter to make sure the dip didnt short out. Thanks for the suggestion though!

@mecha that is actually what I am doing as we speak! Finally it threw out a ROM 01 error on boot. First time it has. That points to ROM 3N on the CPU board. Ill probably verify the rom is still good but its most likely connection related. One of my 0861 ics on the cpu board @ 2J lost its ground...

I have created an alternate universe of Galaga. PACIFIST GALAGA. I got to level 48 before the game froze*cough* I mean, before the game admitted I had won. I doubt anybody else has gotten to level 48 without firing a single shot, without losing a ship, without seeing any enemies, and without...

@dezbaz that is awesome!! Thank you! So @Adrianlamande , I use bodge wire for some and my trace wire for others. I use .02mm trace wire and tend to use that often for these kinds of things. Ill thread the .02mm down into the via to the other side. I may use some UV curing pcb paint to coat it...

Thank you @lilypad19 !!

Thank you @dogdayaft !!!! That helps!

Yep my bad. E2 d2. I confused myself by looking at the misprint on the board (or maybe its scratched off) even though there is a giant "E" right next to it. Lol. Yea i don't know why people continue if they are in over their head and just ruin more of it. Ive repaired worse trace damage but...

Hello all. I have a shitshow of an asteroids board I am repairing. I was given this after the original owner failed to repair this and really really destroyed the F2 and D2 ram while area "attempting" to replace the ram. Regardless of what the original issue is, at this point the traces need to...

I always hate blaming caps....but have you tested the caps in the audio section?
