Ok.. so I see on CL a Ms.Pac advertised for sale.

From the ad:
"Arcade size MS PACMAN. Paid $850 in 2011 asking best offer. New screen, cabinet in excellent shape. Problem with board as game only plays once in a while. Dealer wont respond for service on this game. Someone with knowledge of these games could fix I am sure pretty easily and economically."

So I e-mailed the guy and suggested he reseat the edge connector and make sure the socketed chips are secure. That fixed his game. Also. I suggested he become a member here.

Just thought I'd share.
 
I guess that's a...good...deed. Though now he probably wants $1500 or something crazy. Personally, I would have shot him a low offer as it wasn't working and then fixed it after I got it.
 
Meh..it was too far for me and really..I just wanted to help the guy out and show him that he didn't need to call a repair guy every time his machine broke down. He e-mailed me back very happy to have it up and working..sounded like he was going to be keeping it.
 
good deed

nice of you to help the person out, i truly believe no good deed goes unrewarded.
let us know if anything good happens to you in the next 7 days, this will prove me right (or wrong).
cheers!
