First I want to say this forum is awesome. I am new to owning an arcade machine as I just bought a Donkey Kong machine that still works and has most of the original parts.
First question, the guy told me that he hasnt had any issues with it just that if it has been off for a day or two that when you power it on the screen will looked scrambled but it will fix itself in a few minutes. Now this happened to me today after a few minutes I restarted it again and it came up fine. My question is, is this an early sign of something or is this just part of owning an almost 30 year old game?
Second question, I have it in the basement right now where it will get cold and I want to know is this a bad thing or will be ok once it warms itself up?
Final question, should I leaved it plugged in and connected to a power strip or should I unplug it when not using it. There is a switch on the bottom of the machine.
Thank you and I am sorry to ask soo much.
