Asteroids Deluxe resurrection
DarkKobold:
You may also need to replace the starters. I always do when I change the bulb, since they are 50c a piece from Bob Roberts. Never had one not start up after that.
RayB:
Concentrate on the monitor first. You don't know how stupid I felt when I rebuilt my trackballs FIRST, ordered new t-molding, replaced the lock, blah blah blah, only to find out the AR-II didn't work and not even knowing if the monitor worked.
;D
ChadTower:
Well it's pretty certain that the monitor doesn't work... that's my next job, rebuilding that. Cap kit will be done this week, just have to build a decent discharge tool first. ;D
Good idea on the starters... I'll snag some of those at the local hardware store.
clanggedin:
It's great to hear your progress on the Asteroids Deluxe. I just spent the past week resurrecting a DK Jr. Had to re-wire the cp and controls, install a cap kit, replace the floresent fixture, and add new switches and locks to the coin doors. Now it plays like a champ and I am in the repainting process.
Can't wait to see pics of it when you are done.
ChadTower:
Heh, no point in pics now, it looks the same but without bezel, marquee, back door, and the CP is open. :)
I just picked up some alligator clips and 12G wire to make a discharge tool. Is 12G thick enough?
