Is your marquee lit as well?

No not yet, working on it! But I guess it should be no problem at all!

I already have a MAME Machine, Mini pinball, and a Pacman and figured for $20 I can't loose. I never knew these existed until now (10 years later), lol. Anyway, P1 joystick will not go left and the screen is scrunched up toward the bottom, top 20% of screen is blank. Does the joystick use a normal replaceable microswitch? and does the monitor have controls to adjust the vertical hold like a normal arcade monitor? If so, are the switches located up front with the volume buttons or do I have to get the TV out and take the cover off?
@jbserra looking good! :)

I believe they use normal replaceable microswitches, but if not, I have seen the full joystick swapped out which may be better anyway.
I will replace the controls soon - see pictures!
The monitor is a 13" TV with RCA input. There is channel, volume and menu on the front. I tried unsuccessfully to guess a code for my universal remote that would allow me into all of the menus, so I had to pull out the tv entirely and push the buttons. I put an extra hole on the front that lined up with the menu button so I didn't have to take everything apart again. I could just use a skinny screw driver if I needed it. But then I swapped the whole TV anyway. You can have my old tube if you're ever near Milwaukee for a case of Dew :-)
I'm pretty sure there is not a vertical hold unless it's in the menu somewhere or something inside the case.
Bypass the video switcher and try a good RCA straight from the cartridge to the tv to rule out the cable. Mine was bad when I got it.

The new control panel with genuine arcade joysticks and pushbuttons looks so much better than the original setup. :)
