Title: Arcade Attendant's Manual
Post by: KagatoAMV on September 27, 2010, 06:22:28 pm

Hey folks,

I recently uploaded a pdf of the troubleshooting manual from my days working in an arcade.

While it is from the early '90s, and several more challenging problems have troubleshooting lists that end with "Contact your district manager." hopefully it might prove useful.  ;D

I ran a basic PDF optimization over it and shrunk it by a few megs, as well as de-skewing some of the pages:

Also processed it with to make the text selectable, copyable and paste-able, however the accuracy of optical character recognition tends to be hit-or-miss.
