My broke butt isn't getting any more arcade machines anytime soon. BUT I'm still playing as many as I find so I'm going to be posting pics of the glorious machines I play. I'll tag them #inthewild

This was the spot directly beneath the fan of ms pacman…

Two of the best ever side by side.
Post #123 I fixed the color by shifting the deflection yoke. I thought it may be interference from the power wires but when opening the top or tilting the entire machine it fixed up so i concluded it was the yoke. Also a new high score on this machine!

After 9 months I am able to play my ms pac man and it’s wonderful. Still some work to be done but everything I'd working!

I received my second package 2 weeks ago but I can't plug anything in until I get the third. The wait is killer.
Post #121 Really pleased with the quality that went into Ian Kellogg's cap kits. The caps are uniformly colored and from the same manufacturer, they're all quality caps with high temperature ratings, and they come in a labled strip for ease of use. The kit includes an easy to read cap map that also shows polarity and a service sticker so you know when you last serviced your monitor. The flipside of the cap map also has a list of caps and information on the monitor including how to get rid of the g07 curl. Oh, and the kit doesn't just have caps it has resistors in it too. The whole thing is just a quality product, even the packaging is thick plastic. Check out all the arcade parts at iankellogg.com

Replaced caps, resistors, width coil, HOT, b+ filter cap, fuses, and flyback. Also reflowed solder on the header pins. This was the worst soldering job I had to do. The g07 board is super burnt, c302’s polarity is marked wrong on the solder side, there were many lifted traces, and cruddy flux everywhere. The flyback was hard to put in because it has 8 pins you have to align. Still waiting on 2 more shipments of parts to arrive but as soon as I get them, I’ll be starting up my ms pacman. If anything goes wrong I’ll feel pretty defeated.

This just looks really cool.

Finished cleaning. Both orders of parts are in the mail right now so more to come soon.

Clean vs dirty.
Post #116
All cleaned up. I hope I didn’t mess anything up though.
Post #115 Back to cleaning. I gave my ms. Pacman a good blow with compressed air but haven't touched it since. Some dirt really caked on that board.

I didn't do anything to it but my joust monitor has its red back. I adjusted the colours and left it on for a few hours to be sure it wouldn't conk out again. I'll order a transistor just incase but I'll call this a victory for now. 2/3 down one to go.

Today's been really eventful. I measured the voltage on galaga which was high and I adjusted it down. The rom error I had disappeared and the game played fine but the bottom quarter of the screen was discolored. I then found that my neck board was cracked and had a patch job done. After making sure the traces connected with wire it played fine. I'll be getting more in depth on the monitor once mu cap kit comes in. 1/3 down.
