Pinball And EM Arcade PCB Repair

Welcome.
I'm Derek and can repair the following items:

PCBs From EM Arcade type games:
These can be amplifier, sound card, 8 track card, motor control card, etc. I offer a service to repair the boards and any other assemblies which can be easily posted.

PCBs from all types of pinballs:
I have experiencing with repairing WPC, Data East, Gottlieb, Williams, (especially) Bally SS pcbs and the occasional Hankin, Zaccaria, Stern. These can be MPU, power supply, lamp driver, Solenoid/Voltage regulator, displays, etc.

All boards are first examined/tested for faults, repaired and bench/machine tested (where possible) for several hours to ensure the problem is fixed. Boards are then posted back to the customers for re-installation.

I can show photos/examples of repair work carried out on request. I can either just repair the immediate fault with your board (if you are on a tight budget) or perform a full rebuild of the board which is preferable to keep your machine running 100% in the long term.

Of course only new parts are used. General repair work has a 30 day warranty and full rebuilds a 90 day warranty.

If this is of any interest, please just send me a PM with the details/photo of the faulty board and I will send you an estimate for the repair. Please bear in mind, I am located in Sydney-Australia, so you can decide whether the shipping cost is practical.
 
Hi besides centipede and millipede I now also do
missile command
and crystal castles
can do other z80 or 6502 based atari boards as long as I can get schematics.

contact me for pricing on these boards if you are interested

for more information on some of the hacks or repairs I"ve done please see
http://www.paladingrp.com/resources.shtml
near the bottom "Buttons and Joysticks!"

Hi I'm Brian.
I just started repairing centipede/millipede boards in late 2011. Since then (5 months) I've been buying broken boards off ebay and repairing them. I've repaired about 10 or so since.

I've also designed and documented a centipede single ROM hack
http://www.paladingrp.com/brianb/board_hacks/centipede/centipede-single-rom.html

I do "swaps" where you send me your complete non-working board and I send you a working board.


Process is as follows
1) Contact me first, I'll verify I have working stock of the board you want, I will ask you to send me a close up picture of your board to ensure it's repairable and not a completely trashed board. (ie serious physical damage or serious rust)
2) If your board is in decent condition, and I have working spare, I'll have you ship me your complete board
3) Upon receiving it I will test it (to ensure it's actually broken, and not a power supply/cabinet problem)
4) You paypal me the payment and I will ship you a working board.

Price for swap of COMPLETE board is $80 shipped back to you in USA (you must also ship me your board at your cost)

Please contact me via email as I don't check the forums regularly.
Email: atari@<remove_me>paladingrp.com

I can accept incomplete boards, but there is additional expense for the missing components. Let me know if your board is incomplete BEFORE sending it.

I have several dozen Defender and Robotron compatible CPU and ROM boards. I repair Williams boards of that era. I am lacking in the interface boards.

No reasonable offer refused. It's been a few years since I've even messed with that stuff however you can ask Dave Langley in the UK about my references. I've been buying parts from Bob Roberts since 2000 so I'll use him as a reference as well.

Kirk S.

P.S. Have about a half dozen Tempest board sets with two spares working. Hope to have the rest of them working soon.

OutRun PCB repair (and others locally)

Hi, I'm DarrenF (last name Finck).

LOCALLY (i.e. you drop off and pick up to my home in Jacksonville, FL) I work on most any video game PCB, focusing on the 1977-1987 era, including Midway 8080 (SI etc.), Pacs, Atari B&W vectors, early Konami, Missile Command, Williams 6809, Gauntlet, early JAMMA, etc.

VIA MAIL (for customers within the USA), I am currently taking on OutRun boards for repair, for $100 flat-rate including return shipping. I only take one at a time, so the the "queue" is virtual, and the board stays in your hands until it is your turn. Turn-around times are 2-4 weeks. DO NOT send anything until I ask for it (e.g. by getting my address from another member or transaction), I refuse any shipment I'm not expecting. I will also require good quality high resolution photos of your boards prior to agreeing to take it on; this is to protect myself from excessive missing components, badly botched repair efforts, severe damage, etc.

I can also provide other OutRun board related services:
-installation of Enhanced Edition ROMs (high score save and improved freeplay)
-installation of larger memory backup capacitor (improves hold time for aforementioned HSS)
-Turbo Outrun resurrection / removal of encrypted CPU
-limited OutRun / Turbo OutRun conversion / deconversion (depending on my inventory of mask ROMs).
Inquire for pricing and availability.

Hi,
I'm Fabrizio (caius) from Italy,
I'm a software/hardware technician and I've been arcade repairing for several years.
I can repair all kind of PCB from early '80 to currents ones, either thue-hole or SMD ones, I can also program a large number of devices (EPROM, BPROM, PLD, flash EEPROM,PIC, etc).


This is my policy:
The cost of the repair will be charged at the end and customer will pay ONLY after testing succesfully his PCB.
In case repair is not possible, user has to pay ONLY return shipping cost.

Here are some positive feedback on my service:

My name is John Robertson. I fix older games that no-one else does - starting with Computer Space, Pong, Maneater, and the like. Also do CPU based games from the 70s and 80s.
I'm $95USD/hour, and I am really busy with many different jobs so if you want quick service try one of the other people here - assuming they work on the ancient stuff that is.
I also fix pinball boards, including the Bally home pinball games (have a replacement for the CPU IC), Atari pins, and some other odd balls (not Zaccaria though, that is covered by Zaccaria-pinball.com).
If you want to send me a board still, please call first so I can discuss your problem with you, it may not be the board after all! Also need to chat about how to ship to us if your are outside of Canada.
