arcade noob (more of a pin guy) with a new Defender cocktail. 1 Q
Got this Defender cocktail from a KLOV'r I believe. It is in decent shape and working order. A darn hard game, but one of the few arcades I want to own and now do.
So far I have made a replacement "glass" and ordered a cap kit.
There is one issue I am having. General Illumination seems very under powered. I replaced the #44 bulbs, but I take one out and the rest get brighter, put a new one in and they all dim. I have not followed the wires too well, but it seems they go into the transformer. I do plan on replacing them all with LEDs which should lower the power draw, but wondered if there is something someone might suggest I work on to actually resolve the issue.
On the pin side we have the pin bible, but when it comes to arcades I am a severe noob. If you have any links that would be great as well.
TIA
