Hope this isn't too much of a newb question. I've been Googling and watching YouTube videos and nothing is coming up.
Picked up a Midway Cocktail Donkey Kong Jr.
It works occasionally, for a bit. Consistently powers on and about 50% of the time it is playable for a stretch of time.
When I bought it I was lead to believe it was either the power switch or the board that was the issue with it.
Went to check the voltage on the power supply and had some dubious numbers; 5 volts was reading at .2, +12 was coming in at 5 and -5 was coming in at .2.
Used two different multimeters and I'm fairly certain I'm using the right setting on them, although one is automatic.
Figured it must be the power switch so I changed it.
Same results are happening. Checked the power coming in and that's at 113, so it isn't an issue of the wall to the switch.
Fully prepared for the "you're an idiot and this is how to use a multimeter" moment, although it isn't as though I haven't spent a ton of time looking into how to check correctly.
