I met a gentleman yesterday that is selling a centipede that has been sitting in his old garage for 20 years. I went out to his place to take a look. It doesn't have the back on it so it is very dirty inside. Probably a bad decision but we plugged it in to see if it worked. The screen came on. It started out with a bunch of vertical lines moving across a white screen. After a few seconds, the screen was all white. He took his finger off the switch in the back and it turned off. I am new to arcade repair as evident by some of my other posts but I am learning. What are your initial thoughts?
Does it just need to be cleaned or are there bigger problems that I need to be concerned about before taking on this project?
The trackball would need to be replaced probably. It was pretty herky, jerky. The side art was there but it was starting to flake on the sides.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
