I'm on the last stage of bringing my Asteroids Deluxe back to life. Now I'm working on the coin door. Nothing worked... test switch, lights, coin switches...
The reason was obvious. Someone had gone in there and specifically cut 5 or 6 wires. 1 was ground, 1 was part of the coin circuit, two were part of the lights circuit, and a couple more.
Since the story of my Asteroids Deluxe is that it lived in a Church rec room for a while, I'm wondering if the OP that sold it to the Church cut all this stuff so it wouldn't take quarters.
But that's just pure speculation. Anyone ever hear anything that might support this? Or alternative reasons it may have been cut? (other than some wacko got his/her hands on it)
