CheffoJeffo:
Definitely grab copies of the manuals for your games.

All of the resources that I am aware of (now including Antelope Arcade -- tks PL1  :cheers:) are listed in the wiki:

- I believe boardjunkie is correct about the attract sounds on MsPac.

- Yes, the marquee on MsPac is supposed to light up -- remove the marquee retainer and have a look. IIRC, MsPac was a basic florescent fixture and is usually easy to fix with either a new bulb or a new starter.

- I think that most of the settings for A51 can be access from the test menu (accessed using the test swtich, usually located just behind the coin door).

- Please post of pic of the "white lines" in A51 -- sounds like the brightness is too high.

mgb:
Can't totally say without seeing but it sounds like the screen voltage on the A51 monitor may be a bit high. On the back of the monitor, located on the flyback, there should be two small trim-pot knobs. One is for focus and one should be marked screen. Turning the screen knob just a hair counter clockwise may take care of the problem (and darken the picture a little).
Its always best to do some research on the monitors first and be careful what you touch in there.

The Ms Pacman probably needs a bulb and starter. You can always replace the whole unit with a light unit from Home Depot for $10 or so

boardjunkie:
The HV (second anode) is not adjustable. Yer talking about the screen voltage, which there is a control for on the flyback along with focus. They are marked as such....

mgb:
yeah thats what I meant. I was wrong to say high voltage.
