Ken Layton appreciation thread

My favorite drink/beverage is Mountain Dew Code Red.

Well, we won't hold that against you.

Whoo hoo....I got a call today for some work....although just for one day. I need the money and rent is due. I'll be gone all day Thursday and will be at the Blue Fox Drive-in Theater (Oak Harbor, Wash.) fixing their projection equipment and then they have 5 or 6 of their 30 video arcade games they want fixed. They say the games they need repaired have monitor problems. There's also a Rowe Bill changer they want me to check.

They even mentioned they'd put me up in a hotel room Thursday night. I should be back home Friday afternoon.

Looks like I'm heading up the rear on this thank you wagon.  Just wanted to say I appreciate all the help you've given both me and everybody else on the boards.  We need to download your brain and create a torrent.

I've personally been helped on two occasions with advice from Ken.  I don't think there's anything about game repair that the man doesn't know. He's one of the greatest assets to the BYOAC boards.

Thanks for all you've contributed.

Well, I worked on 3 of their redemption machines there at the drive-in theater. Keep in mind that I've never worked on a redemption game in my life. Got 2 of the 3 going and I brought the main board back home with me from the third machine as it had two bad driver transistors that were unobtainable out there in the sticks of Oak Harbor, Wash.

I got 3 of the 5 video monitors fixed with just the tools at hand. Two of the monitors were unfixable as the circuit boards had been stolen right off the monitor frames!

I got 2 of the 3 pinball machines running with some parts from Radio Shack, but the third machine had some broken parts that need to be ordered from a Williams pinball distributor.

Probably by someone on this very board.
