Hi everyone, this is my first Arcade machine related post so please bear with me if i have no idea what you are talking about...

Ok so a friend of mine has a 1980's DECO Cassette System Cocktail Table loaded with an Astro Fantasia Tape. The problem is that when the machine starts up it goes to the blue waiting screen and then never loads the game (no numbers counting down) at all. the screen just stays on with the same "wait until numbers reach ooo".

My buddy swears that if we just turn it on and off and on and off and on and off repeatedly for about a week it will work; somehow I doubt that.

Ive downloaded the shop manual for the vertical version of this machine but cant find ANY information about the cocktail table other than it was made between 1981 and 1983 by Data East Co.

If any has ANY INFO AT ALL ABOUT DECO COCKTAIL please help me!!!!!

I know that when you turn these on the tape has to be in a certin place to boot. Some times you have to cycle the power a couple of times to get them to come on. Ops hated the load time. You can be waiting 15 minutes for one to load.
