Just a short rant about Sega's arcade manufacturing techniques
I HATE THE WAY SEGA WIRED/CONSTRUCTED THEIR CABINETS!!! I have disassembled a Zaxxon, Monaco GP Mini, and now I am restoring this Star Trek, and all of them have proved to be EXTREMELY frustrating in terms of wiring, connectors, board removal, and overall 'ease' of servicing. UGH!!!! Theyre heavy, the wiring harnesses make NO sense whatsoever, the components inside are crammed tight as hell, and UGH!!! I HATE them!!! Dont get me wrong, I love the games as far as playing them goes (well, except Zaxxon, blech...), but these games must have been complete pains in the ass when they broke down back in the day.
Not to mention I have painfully racked my head on the Star Trek roof multiple times since Ive had it. But maybe thats just my cockpit newbness....
