Another losing deal. I really need to charge my retail customers more to cover the monitors and boards they seem to cook.

Found the spare Asteroids boards. One is working great, the other is not. It is possible all my issues related to power might be related to this allegedly fixed board.

Monitor looks a little funny as well. I think we are sending it back to the repair guy. The astroids get larger in the middle of the screen. I tried 3 boards and all give the same larger in the middle result. Voltages are fine.

Another $75 in monitor repairs. the fixed monitor is installed and David’s loaner returned

Like a bad penny this unit keeps returning to me. First it was a repair call to get the PCB swapped. Then it was the monitor. A third call came in and I just took it back.

I got it working and burn tested for 48 hours. Tried to schedule re-delivery and failed. Now it is out again.

I sent a monitor out for repair and that cost $175 to fix. I will swap the monitor back in and fix some other minor stuff and hope the board restarts. REally don’t want to add another PCB to this project.

Asteroids was delivered yesterday.

Alex repaired my Asteroids board, now we are running like a champ.

Replaced AR II and PCB ran for a week and then a new problem popped up. Worse than that, the buyer is no longer interested. This one will hit the slow restore list.

Was out at John’s for a Centipede project and picked up a known working AR II just to insure this was not the problem with the video.

After a month of guessing over the internet with expert as to how to fix the problem, a known working board came available for $80, so I grabbed it. I just want a known working AR II so this one does not get fried.

Acquired some new white buttons to replace the aging ones.

The Coin door on this unit was in bad cosmetic shape. I order some parts to clean it up a bit

Found this on Craig’s List needed some restoration. I thought I had a buyer lined up.
