Did someone from the board look into the Millipede in Columbus IN that's on Craigslist?
It's listed as "It powers up, but does not work properly. My brother (a computer wiz of sorts) claims that it just needs a new motherboard."
The e-mail I got from the seller says "If you power the game on, there are faint dots on the screen, but no image. The tube has been tested, and when the game is powered on, the tube glows orange. The game sounds do work.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the circuit-board.
A member of VAPS (Vintage Arcade Preservation Society) actually just came by to check it out and he supported that claim after fidgeting with it for a moment."
I'm thinking the monitor chassis might just need a cap kit. Faint dots sound like extreme vertical collapse. Love to hear if another forum member was looking at it. Don't know how they could know it's the "motherboard" within any image.
