***Edit! Not Williams, Bally, I meant.***
I just bought an arcade game from a gal whos got a big gameroom. I can score one more game from her if I can fix her favorite Pinball, which is a vintage Bally Eight Ball. I played the game and saw what she was talking about.
First, it takes several tries to get the machine to boot up. Once it turns on, it plays fine for a few mins, then the data displays will glitch out and flicker. Eventually, it will get to the point where the machine becomes unresponsive completely. Could cracked and cold solder joints be the cause of this problem? Or is this the work of a shot power supply?
