It's a shame that all those classic arcade games seem to be droping in value. In fact, if I destroy one of my perfectly good pacs with faded sides, cover 'em up with formica and slap multicade art on them, Jammatize them, and replace the logic boards with bootleg multicade boards, I double their value in the Ebay market. The same thing goes for my Qbert cab or my fully working centipede.(except for that blown flyback, of course:)
Midway games are a POS.(read that as *junk*) That's right. We're "cannibal-izing" the Blitz cab, simply because it's a hassle trying to keep it in good, working order. It has gone through 2 boardsets, and 3 hard drives, and having the boards repaired by HAPP* read more about HAPP's and Wells Gardner's crappy board repair service later:x Also, those damn 49-way optical sticks always seem to stop working until you get to the location to repair 'em :-\
Based on my experience with you:
Crappy board repairs 'r us-Happ controls and Wells Gardner:
We will overcharge you, take you to the cleaners, and use the cheapest componets and a piss-poor soldering job, ensuring that your boards will have problems on the 31st day after the repair...after our warrenty expires MUHAHAHAHAH!!!!
More later, I'm tired of typing :p

Why are you sending your boards to Happ? Betson New England has an excellent board repair facility.
