So I have a few games that have had weird behaviors, and I think it all has to do with funky power strips..
Tron: shut off completely during a party, like a fuse blew. Magog and I were playing and it just went out, boom. Done. 2 days later, on its own it turns on again. I did nothing to it.
Moon Patrol: Same strip, monitor and game pcb wouldn't work. Marquee light and a hum was all I got. Works fine now, all on its own..
Space Duel: Diff power strip, monitor refused to fire up. Changed strip and now it works fine.
Super Pac-man: Same strip as Duel, monitor may not come on. Works great on its own.
I know the resolution to this is better power management, but I am stuck for another 4-5 months till the big move to the basement game room. Maybe new power strips? Or is something else amiss I don't know about?
Anyone else experience this?
