Just venting a bit here but only 5/13 of my games are working 100%. It's frustrating because I'm a complete novice at fixing most things let alone my games. Here is a breakdown:
Ms Pac -- one of the 13 that works great. Nary an issue since I bought it from Mike Snider three years ago.
Galaga -- Bought the cab with no PCB and PS for $25. The board I bought was re-built is now being stubborn. Turned on the game yesterday and garbage came up. Turned on again and played again but after around 30 min more garbage came up. Most likely just a seeding issue (is it seeting or seeding? Never knew).
Star Wars Trilogy pin -- Works just fine. Fun stuff and fits the room perfectly.
T2 pin -- works just great. Hunter/Killer ship keeps getting knocked around though.
Theatre of Magic -- for some reason the free-play stopped working and now the GI lights are out. Not much of a big deal.
Gyruss -- works great with no problems.
Defender -- board now shows a ROM error.
TRON -- sounds only works half the time but gameplay is fine.
Star Wars cockpit -- works beautifully. Thanks to Gregatron for re-building the monitor.
DKjr -- not the prettiest of cabs but worked perfectly for over three years until last week. Blocks of color are now surrounding each moving character.
Centipede -- has worked fine but monitor still needs around 5 minutes before it works properly. Works good after that.
Asteroids Deluxe -- light in marquee went out. Not a big deal but I don't have the correct tool to unscrew it. Are they called security locks?
Asteroids -- the humming has now officially become annoying and I don't turn it on anymore.
I've planned on an Arcade Party/Competition with prizes for over 8 months now and can't seem to get all these bad-boys working at the same time! I'm frustrated because I know I can't fix these myself but wonder how you guys that fix your own games feel when most are working correctly.
