Ok, I'm back at my uncle's house in Louisville for the week. (Last year he hooked me up with a machine I'm still converting back to a Stargate. Weather has put that on hold for another month atleast). I think we're headed back to Memphis this Saturday, so this issue is time sensative. I'm hoping somebody local can help us out or point me in the right direction.
Anyway, I fixed up a couple of his slot machines and his Comet pinball.
The wife has been playing his Pole Position II and I got the bright idea to open it up and see if the dip switches are set to twin galaxies settings just to play around and see what's doing on the inside out of curiosity.
Well, I noticed the score save battery is pretty damn coroded. So I immediately desoldered it and used vinegar and a brush to get rid of any possible corrosion. The game worked just fine before taking it apart so that's a good thing. My problem is I'm leaving in a few days and don't have time to order a new battery.
Is there anyone out there who may have a battery laying around they can hook me up with? Or atleast tell me where I might be able to get one local that will work with this machine. If not, it'll have to be down for the next year 'til I can come back out here.
My second issue is setting these dip switches to twin galaxies. Just for fun of course.
Is "on" when the switch is flipped up and "off" when the switch is down?
Any help is appreciated, folks!
