got the arcade running- thanks guys!

Post by nickfil »

You guys know of any place in philadelphia that repairs arcade cabs?

I think mine is an easy fix for anyone who knows what they are doing.

Basically, i bought the working cab. It rattled around a bit in transit. Now it doesn't work. Some things look like they are disconnected. I don't want to go in there and just start rewiring things though.

any help?

I left Philly a while back, but I remember this guy's staff did decent restoration work:

If its just a loose connection, you should dig around online for service documentation or schematics. Its possible you can fix it yourself. Be careful of that CRT though!

I got a guy on craigslist e-mailing me to check it out. Might go with him and if he fails, try out tnt. Forgot about them. Thanks!
