I've been gritting my teeth lately whenever I flip the switch to my game room and my pins and vids power up because for the past month or two I've had three vids out of commission. The one I miss most is my Spy Hunter, but I've simply not had time to work on it since it died on me. In the mean time I've been enjoying mostly my pins and the vids that are working, all the while thinking that I should just get to work on my Spy Hunter.
I'm not sure if anybody will remember, but the last time I had an issue with the game it took me a good year to figure it out. I was NOT happy about having to possibly go through that again.
Well anyway, just a couple of days ago I was moving an Addams Family pin downstairs and one of the neighbor kids saw me taking it into the house and he came running over. He begged to come in and see the games, so I had him kick of his shoes and follow me down the stairs. We get to the game room and I roll the Addams in place and show him the switch for the games and he flips it. I go about putting the legs on the machine with my back to him and all of a sudden I hear that beautiful music pumping out of the Spy Hunter. It was working!
Now this game has been dead for a while now, and not just dead, but D-E-A-D dead. I've flipped that switch a hundred times and no sign of life came from the machine until that point, and since then it's worked perfectly. I've even given the cabinet a little shake to see if it's going to go out, and it hasn't. Either I have repair elves in my house or else that thing just got blessed by God to resurrect itself.
