I just picked this up today from a local guy. The cabinet has had some basic restoration done and is generally really nice and clean. A few scratches on the sides that have been freshly painted over. It has new white t-moulding. The joystick needs to be cleaned at least and a new ball top installed as it looks like someone took a bite out of it.
I don't think I'll do much more than clean it up, put some fresh graphics and new side art on it and play the heck out of it.
It has two issues which might just be one. See the attached image.
The monitor will do this from a cold start about half the time and occasionally it will do it in the middle of a game. It still plays, coins up and has full sound while it's like this. The other thing it does is after it's warmed up and running, for about an inch or so on the left side the picture jumps up and down a little bit. It seems obvious that a cap kit is in the future at least.
With that said, I'm wondering if I can bribe someone in the Denver area with cash, food, beer or whatever to come show me how to do this. I have a nice Weller iron but very, very limited experience and not a good track record of successfully using it.
