My Joust is like this. I keep thinking about what I need to do to make it reliable.Do you:
1. Keep working on them and just say well, it's old(?)
2. Fix it once and WHEN it breaks again, send it down the river?
3. Keep at it and bulletproof it?
4. Turn it into a multi with an LCD monitor?
5. Make it a chair?
I like fixing things, but when a game keeps acting up, I end up sending it down river on a raft. I get to where I don't even want to look at it anymore if it keeps breaking.
LOL. We need a tool that shows the last time power went through it. Like a cap checker or something.Just do what some do - list it on Ebay untested. Cut the cord off for added effect.
There's no such thing as temperamental games. Just ones you haven't learned how to fix yet.
He still repairs pcbs at his 9 to 5 job last i heard. I wouldn't say its off the table, you just have to send it (somewhere else) to have him fix it.Now that he moved away, that option is off the table, which means I'm gonna have to improve my skills or figure something out.

Seriously about this. I can send the PCB's off for repair/testing and new pins. My crimping skills aren't great though (or maybe I just need a better crimp tool?). This step hasn't been addressed on this Joust and could be part of the problem.
