Great score today... picked up an Asteroids in the city - it is probably the cleanest game I have personally owned (w/o restoration). Monitor was not working - no spot killer - game played blind. Drilled out the locks when I got it back home - replaced two fuses on the deflection board - and.... YES!! Never had a fix that easy before. :)

I was going to post the National Lampoon's Vacation quote, but was beaten to the punch...damn.
 
Where do I get a high save kit? How much are they?

Arcadeshop and Mike's Arcade sell them or Scott is selling them directly again. Scott sells them $44 shipped. They are totally worth it. Asteroids is like the standard for every gameroom. Mine was the first monitor I fixed completely by myself. Congrats on the score and the easy fix.

It was the one in Daly City. Got it for $160. When I opened it up, it looked like the first time it had been opened since it came off the assembly line. Can't believe how clean this bad boy is. Guess I'm getting a high-score save kit! Thanks guys.
