I sold some machines 2 days ago, and the new owner will be picking up tommorrow. I've been working on them pretty hard since then.
Sold:
Outrun: had to bondo a top corner that was busted, then repaint the whole side. Also went through 2 faulty arcade marquee light assemblies before breaking down and buying a $7 Walmart special. Set it up for free play, cleaned it, and it is ready to hit the road
Charlie's Angels pinball: Cleaned the inside thoroughly. Replaced some bad bulbs, but then had others mysteriously go out in the process. WTF?!? I have to pull the driver board tomorrow to check the light drivers. Lost a mount screw for the bonus lights inside the spotless interior. Seriously, how does that happen? That always happens to me. Hit myself with 120volts on the live side of the power brick not once, but twice while looking for the damn thing. Mental note: there is still hot wire inside a pin with the cord plugged in, but power switch killed.
48/1 multicade: Just because 1942 looks identical to Jamma, doesn't mean it is jamma. I sold this before ever setting it up for the 48/1 because I had a false memory of there being a JAMMA adaptor in my 1942 cab. I've been trying to procure a spare JAMMA harness from the local gameroom crew all week with no luck. I have to strip out the wiring in my Xevious to get this game ready in time tommorrow. Luckily the cab is already nice and clean.
Bonus news:
After I get these games out of here and swim in my money for a while, I get to go down to a friend's house in Huntington and pick up a brand new 19" Happ monitor...for FREE! I hope to also get positive news about a High Speed pin I looked at a few months ago, but didn't have money/room for. I have both in surplus now.
