That is FUGGGLY. Some people should never be allowed to own these games. Well, there are too many questions, but the pinout for the edge connector is in the manual and you're gonna want some .156 split terminal pins and a good crimper. And if you search around for the "mod", which you inherited...

Does Bob still stuff a little Lagniappe in every order? I remember lots of Moon Pies

That magic smoke is just dying to get out

You were right. Someone let the magic smoke out of the Centipede GO7

That is a Nintendo VS cabinet

Link to ad?

Good!

Video games are a ton easier to maintain by a landslide. I love fixing/working on games as much as I love playing them, so I thrive in the world of pinball. In the last year, I have rebuilt the all of the monitors and power supplies at my pizzeria arcade (13 machines) as they all started to show...

I found one of these for sale about 13 years ago on Craigslist and it turned out it was 5 houses down the effing block. Cabinet laminate was pretty rough and the seller wanted stupid money for it. $1,000! I offered $200, he didn't budge, and I didn't buy. Soooo much cooler than the Sega/Gremlin...

This is the way. I too regret selling my MB, as I do miss my Wolfman callouts dearly, but I really needed to thin out the herd and get down to games that I really love. Sometimes that involves selling stuff that you didn't think would be a bid deal, only to later really miss it. My MB also had a...

Thanks for validating my feelings/opinion on this. Majority of people in the pinball scene now think I'm crazy for not liking anything made after the 90s. The builds are indeed complete trash. I regret selling my Crazy Climber that I bought back in 1998 for $50

Safe travels and congratulations!

4 rooms spread across 2 homes. Before I downsized, it was 5 rooms. Soon it will be down to 3 rooms and then most likely 2 shortly there after

Sold quite a few for around 3k, but never bought any anywhere near that price. Average purchase has been about $200, but I started collecting in '98 when you could get almost anything for about $50-$100. Most I've ever spent was $1,500 for a Food Fight in very nice condition that came with a NOS...

No idea what model that is. Is there a label on the chassis or on the monitor frame? Yes, Arcade Parts and Repair sells kits. Just need to know which model you have

Yup

I prefer #2

Highly recommend the Hakko that @ArcadeTechGW pointed out. That along with good flux, Kester brand solder and NTE solder wick will make your work so much more enjoyable and efficient.

Recapping can cause other components to fail even after a good burn in/test time. Could be one of the components was/is on its last leg and didn't present itself until the chassis was in your hands. This would be a great time to watch the Randy Fromm videos on CRTs and start to diagnose the...

You've gotten a lot of good advice here. Take it. I've been doing this for about 30 years and was in your exact shoes. Still not good at PCB diagnostics (don't have an oscilloscope), but I can do all my own monitor and power supply work, which makes up the vast majority of arcade game...
