Centipede Restoration - It's Alive!!!

<< < (6/6)

tafische:
I have not researched that much on the Sense Mod war (and dont want to start one!!), but I would think it is a personal preference.  There are those that just want to play the game.  If that is the case, a replacement power supply or a hack/mod is just fine - enjoy your game!  For others the thrill is not only playing the game, but restoring it to original condition. 

I am sure there are these same type of discussions in car clubs, gun clubs, etc, etc, etc

The sense mod is like putting a bigger fuse in a circuit because it's blowing all the time. Does it stop blowing ? Probably. Did it fix the problem ? NO !!

There is no need for the sense mod if your board connections are OK. THAT is what should be checked and maintained.

Well if you think about it, doing the sense mod will result in voltage dropping if the connections or board edge traces get too dirty or corroded. That drop in voltage will cause the game to stop working or appear defective.  It's like a built in "time for maintenance" alert, whereas without the sense mod the board just keeps upping the voltage to the point of burning the edge trace right off.
