I didn't want to have to beg for help or get too personal on a forum where I don't really know "friends" in real life but here goes...
My collection of mostly non working games is fast becoming a real seat of tension with the wife. It's not that she hates the games exactly, but the fact that most have something keeping them from actually being useful as a game is kinda pissing her off and I must admit, I don't blame her. I just don't seem to have the skills and/or time to get the job done.
So here's what I'm asking. Does anyone local care to give a hand with some basic things to get these running. I am not looking for a handout here. I have a little money to offer but not much since I got laid off a couple of months ago from one of my "straight" jobs and my general contracting business has already started drying up for winter. I do have a lot of spare parts and some cabinets with decent monitors in them I could offer up. Maybe we could do a trade for work or partial trade/partial cash for work. Or maybe trade my mechanical and construction skills for your technical skills.
I am basically looking for help with some cap kits, help getting a b/w Motorola monitor going, and some board diagnosing and troubleshooting.
