Game Story
I bought this in a bulk buy with John. I added side art and new T molding and placed it in the game room. It never gave me any trouble. My brother in law had it for years. My nephews removed bits of art and cabinet. It is back in my shop with those issues and a failing sound channel.
Fixed this unit up nice and sold it again.
