Title: Dig Dug first time repair
Post by: beetem on January 17, 2016, 09:57:35 pm
for christmas my wife found me a dig dug cabinet. I got it home and dug into it a bit, knowing nothing about how they work, and found it to be missing a few things the fuse and fuse cap on the power supply and the game pcb itself. I want to try to restore it as much as I can on my own, I like to tinker with things, but i dont want to spend a ton of money if i have to replace everything to make it work. So I would lie to know what things to look at first after i get the fuse and cap that is and test how much of the system is in working order.

Welcome to the board!


Can you post pics of the inside of the cabinet to let us know what the state of it is? It might help us. To start off, you will need the PCB to get it to work. If it has the original wiring still in it and hasn't been converted to something else, then you should be able to find a original replacement. When buying a PCB, always assume untested means broken. Only buy tested and working PCBs unless you want to try to troubleshoot them.

Sadly, it seems that he was eaten by wolves.

I think it was a grue.

Maybe Gruesome Wolves?
