Hi everyone!

I'm new here, based in the SF Bay Area.

I came across the forums because I recently purchased an Initial D V3 Twin Cab! I used to play a ton back in the day in bowling alleys and arcades across town. My friend and I made a pact to buy one if we ever had the means. The machine popped up online and I had to buy it.

Ive appreciated how friendly people are. In my short time, I've read about the leaking C29 super capacitor issue for Naomi boards and found out I have the issue too!

Looking forward to getting my machines working and hopefully learning some skills along the way. I find arcade repair very cool but intimidating.
 
Welcome aboard, don't be afraid to ask questions but also use the search function, there is an insane amount of knowledge in the archives here…

As for the repairs being intimidating, everyone has to start from somewhere and build from there. It is a slow process but quite rewarding. But, don't start repairs on expensive or highly complex boards, start easy…

Good luck!
