Burn Test

Sarah had the opportunity to test this game for a few hours. She is 6, so reaching the pedals was a challenge. Finally resolved buy me or Susan stepping on the gas while she would steer.
She set some nice scores!

Board fix
09 Dec 11 Filed in: Atari | Pole Position
The Pole Position died in Arizona, probably baked in the garage in the desert. I am getting back into the hobby and decided to get this one working again.
We sent the boards and two AR II board to El Dorado for fixing. $130 later it is running fine. We applied the bullet proofing kit with extra caps and grounding wires. I bought two fans to add for improved cooling. Hopefully this will extend the life of this unit.

I put it all back together with a monitor picked up from Norm. It works but the sound is not right.
