Hey guys, I'm this close to buying an Asteroids original cab. I need expert advice. The one thing holding me back is that it doesn't hold the high score after losing power. Do I need to keep it powered on 24-7 to keep the high scores? TIA

virtuo is okay.Sounds like I should keep the Angelina then, I really don't have an use for the stand. Im sending the acceptors today to a dealer that would update them to a regular non touchtunes firmware in order for me to use them as 12v pulse type. Thats all that is left before I put it in a place to work.
early models have issues with black spots appearing on the LCD panels due to a manufacturing defect. later models have no panel issues... but some issues with bad caps on the backlight inverters. newer ones have LED backlit panels and have issues with the caps going bad on the LVDS board. the later 2 being fixable... the spots, not at all other than panel replacement. good luck finding a panel to replace it....it's a weird size and wasn't available for long.
the computer is decent. it's output audio via regular headphone jacks so no messing around there. you will need a "red" DI box to convert the audio from the computer to the amp (amp accepts balanced audio over ethernet...the IO board does this so you'll have to sub the red DI box to do this.)
the card reader is worthless as it's been disabled due to new PCI credit card processing rules rules... making it non-compliant.
the stand should have woofers built into it... it should also have some satellite speakers attached to either side as well.
