If you need anything else and don't see it on the web sit just call them they have it.

I'll definitely look into that. The hum gets louder with time.

Took a little hiatus after I got my Galaga functional to enjoy it for a while. I noticed after playing for a few minutes, sometimes the explosion graphics would turn into big white squares and some of the challenging stage bugs would be other colored squares. A small adjustment to the 5V fixed that (measured 4.99V at the CPU board, adjusted back up to 5.2V).
Worked on the coin door frame today. Paint stripping, sanding and priming:

I found a business in Raytown that said they would sand blast a piece of metal the size of a coin door for something like $20. I am in Florida for a few months, but if you are interested let me know and I will dig up the contact info.

Thanks, JeepMonkey. Turns out my friend that bought the SpyHunter has access to a sandblaster. Coincidentally, we're planning on sandblasting the coin door after lunch today.
