So I was home with the kids most of the weekend and of course we turned on about 60% of the games. Left them on for a few hours and here were the issues that cropped up:
Burgertime - Sound went out while my daughter was playing. Put it into test mode, got nothing in the sound tests. It took me an hour to get it out of test mode, then when I finally got it back to game mode and powered it up, the sound was once again working.
Tempest - Game worked fine, came back to start another game after an hour, attract mode running strong, but I couldn't start a game. I pushed the 1 and 2 player buttons repeatedly (it's on freeplay), and nothing. Turned it off. Came back and hour later, turned it on, pushed player 1 and it started right up I played 2-3 more games.
Galaxian - Played several games, walked away, came back, monitor was showing heavy blue and the brightness had gone up. Haven't messed with that one yet, but it's a rebuilt G07.
Popeye - turned it on, played a few games. Monitor image then went upside down, then went white. Then nothing. an hour later, game boots up and runs attract mode fine until I shut her down.
Moral of the story? These things suck to maintain. Waaaah.
