I was in denial. When I got (and paid a lot for) my first cabinet (Jungle King), I said "I'm not like them, all my (one) games work AND look nice". Then I got my Tron and I said "I'm not like them, all my games work". Now I have a non-working Asteroids with damaged wood that I picked up off CL for $50. I AM one of you now. The cool thing about the pickup was that it was literally around the corner from the house where I grew up and my parents' still live.
The person I got it from said someone picked it up for her at an auction, but she didn't want it because it doesn't work - it's missing the game board. The stickers on the cab have the date "11/27/09", can anyone confirm if they're the same stickers used at the Coney Island auction last week?
When I first plugged this in and pulled the interlock switches, there was nothing. Then I noticed the wires came off one of the switches so I reattached them and now something clicks when I plug it in and the marquee lights up. No deflection chatter from the monitor - is there a spot killer on the Electrohome G05? Also, no static from the monitor so I don't even know if it's getting power. Is there anything I can check to see if the monitor is working if I don't have a test rig? I checked all the fuses on the monitor and power brick with a DMM and they all seemed fine.
I'll pick up a PCB for this sooner or later, but right now it's in the queue after I restore Tron's art.
