Brought home a Rollergames this weekend. Not a collector's piece, but really very nice. Picked it up from a guy over on pinside.

It's a fun game for the price, and very different from Bram Stoker's Dracula in theme and gameplay, which is one thing I was looking for. I don't remember playing any Steve Ritchie games other than Spiderman and The Getaway, but I liked them both and I have to say the same with this one.

This is also my first experience with LEDs. The previous owner replaced the backbox lights with red and blue LEDs and I do not like the look at all (don't think he was wild about it either). In some places you can see the "flashlight" effect through the translite. I'll change them back but I need to replace the connector that powers the translite lighting, which is starting to look rough.

A few cabinet scratches, a touch of wear by magnet and the lower display is starting to go but I'm happy. Of course, once we got it home we had to tinker and replace some bulbs and we somehow created a short because now we keep blowing the F4 fuse and lose the upper playfield GI.

Gotta book some time this week to start checking those sockets we were messing with :)
 
Cool man. I may have to have you check some stuff out if my parts don't fix mine this week if they ever get here. Local electronics store didn't have any 6802's. =\
 
Right on, saw your project and would be glad to help out if I can.

There's a flasher socket missing on the upper left part of the Wall, so I'm going to have to dig into that at some point, too. Looks like the whole back ramp section has to come off to get under there. Real great :)

Time to spend some time under the hood.
