At my church we have a Pole Position upright. It recently stopped giving an image on the monitor. I called a gentleman I was refereed to for repair, he came by and found it was not the monitor but the board(s) that operate the monitor (mounted right by it).
He came back a week later with a board he had at his shop and installed it and after a little adjusting it looked great. Then he started tinkering and he was not able to return the image to something usable (flipping in both directions).
After a while of less than professional conduct he let me know he was through and that anyone else but he could have repaired the machine in minutes.
He took out his board, replaced my bad board and walked out! (he also never took the check I had for his initial inspection as I did not expect him to find the problem for free, I am sure he forgot about that).
Now, I have a pole position upright without video but I know it is the board.
Where do I go from here? The machine is in quite used condition but I know it is playable. I certainly don't want to dumpster this thing.
Suggestions?
Is this a board a novice can replace?
Should I simply dump it?
Anyone know of a repair person in the Buffalo NY region?
