I sure wouldn't want to work on a Nurburgring:

Probably the biggest pain in the ass I've come across has been either Battlezone or the K7000 medium res chassis in my Paperboy.

There was also an upright, look at that brilliant design and fabulous steering wheel and shifter

And it's not even from the former DDR !

Pain

MCRs do suck till you get use to them. Monitor work on an Omega race or a Asteroids deluxe with out removing them suck. System 2s have always gave me a runaround as well.

Anything anyone else tried to work on before I got to it =-P

Spy Hunter - that game was a nightmare.
Qix/Zookeeper - mostly because of the boardsets

Berzerk, Qbert - games built like pins drive me crazy, personally.

Mach 3 cockpit! This one kicked my but for almost a year before I got it 100@ercent working. It was the one that was at CAX this year. Fire Fox cockpit was another fun one!

I'll add to this:

Whichever one seems to be an easy fix, but you don't have the part handy, so you either have to order it and wait or drive somewhere and get. Then you put it in and find out there is another problem that wasn't evident until you replaced that part but now you need another part you don't have, etc. etc...

Hmmm... I seem to recall a story that sounds kinda like this. LOL!

I can't believe no one has mentioned any of the gun games that have the large monitors pointing straight up at the mirror. Like Time Crisis, Revolution X or the beloved Sega gun games with the Type 2 guns.

Nothing better than wrestling a 27 inch monitor into one of those games. You have to cradle the monitor by the back of the tube while trying not to bang the neck on the boards or wood frame that is only a couple of inches below it. Of course there is no way that anyone can help you either because there is no room for more than one person to work on it. Usually no sliders any sort of mounting system that you could use to help line it up.

If you need to access the monitor board you can't because you can only get to the back of it.

By far, Battlezone is the biggest PITA in my arcade.

The broken one you are currently working on.....

Or the one you just fixed a week ago and now it doesn't work.

My Sea Wolf was the biggest pain for me. Putting it all back together and getting all of those periscope parts in the right place and working right took a long time.

 

[LUCKYMAN]

My 440 exidy system..... they are a pain!!!

 

[INOVERMYHEAD]

Any thing with a steering wheel, shifter and pedals. . . .
