Best place to learn about repairing arcade games?
Spyridon:
I'm in the process of building my first MAME cabinet (by the Book of course) which got me interested in owning original arcade classics. My question is where is the best place to learn how to fix non working games (PCB's, monitors, etc.) as these can be purchase and possibly repaired much cheaper than buying a working game. I'm a complete beginner with electronics, so I need to start at step 1.
Any helpful points of direction are appreciated.
ChadTower:
Randy Fromm's videos and book.
Havok:
Agreed...

Jeff AMN:
I agree that Randy Fromm is the authority here, but I've learned plenty just from these boards and the KLOV forum. Obviously you only pick up tidbits here and there from forums, but over time you start to feel more and more competent with your projects. I learned how to do a cap kit here and it turned out great.

I attend the Ken Layton school of arcade tech. ;D
(IOW, post a description of the problem and wait for Ken to show up)
