Looking for some direction here as this is my first arcade that I own.
Loved this game back in the day and had to have it again. I knew it was not perfect, but felt I could deal with some issues as it was playable.
Right now, I open it up and wow that is alot of boards to grasp.
It plays, however, it has several nagging issues that come and go.
Not that it would exist, but just to ask, is there some sort of first pass refurbishment guide that I should look at in general, before I start digging into specific issues?
Here is what I seem to see as issues.
1. Steering wheel calibration / pedal issue.
a. My steering wheel values shift by 2 numbers to the right when I press the pedal to the floor. Where would you look to fix this?
b. Is there a way to recalibrate the steering wheel other than decoupling the gears and spinning to the right value then recoupling?
c. It seems to lose calibration over time. If I recalibrate it, it is good. It seems like if you bang the steering wheel one way or the other hard, it loses calibration sometimes.
2. Sound works good, but every once in a while, it just becomes a droning loud humm and I need to disconnect the speakers just to stand near it.
I am sure I have other issues as well but these are the majors right now.
Again, is there some general refurb steps that I should attempt to bring it up to a more solid machine? I saw where someone mentioned resoldering all the components or something, is that standard procedure?
Thanks as I embark down my new path of arcade games.
