I recently picked up a '79 Asteroids cabinet that I was going to make into a custom MAME type project. However, after some reading and learning I've decided that tearing this beautiful machine apart would be a tragedy! I have a background in repair and servicing HVAC equipment and appliances. And a love of electronics projects. I am beyond excited to dive into repairing this arcade cabinet and imagine this will not be the first for me.
I bought the cabinet as non-working. The guy I bought it from said he had swapped in a working Lunar Landing board and everything worked fine, so that leaves me with a PCB that needs some love. Here is a video of what it does when you turn it on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ml4XKCX9Mo&feature=youtu.be
Any advice for a beginner would be awesome. I do have a logic probe and multimeter. I've read the beginners guide and watched some videos. I'm just excited to learn arcade cabinet repairs.
