2 issues: Pole Position hum, replacement microswitch
Actually, it isn't MY Pole Position, but someone elses...
I'm trying to help this guy repair his Pole Position, which he says used to work but now boots up with a blank screen and a loud obnoxious humming sound. He says it just stays on that screen endlessly. I'm thinking cap on the PS since that's what it seems to be on my games when that happens, but if this is a common issue with a different fix I don't want to tell him the wrong thing. I haven't actually seen his machine yet so I can't comment on anything internally or whatnot.
Also, he has a machine he describes as a "Ms. Pac Man and Galaga machine" which I've figured out is a Class of 81. The issue he's describing with the joystick SOUNDS like an issue with the leaf/microswitch (which kind does this particular cab take anyway?) and I need to find a place to order a replacement. If anyone knows where to buy a compatible leaf/microswitch for the joystick in these it would be much appreciated.
