Title: greetings from Pasadena, Tx Post by: charliebrowncb3 on November 18, 2014, 11:41:25 am Hey guys, ran across one of John's vids a few months back and the rest is history!!!....since then I have bought a few arcades of my own. First craigslist find was a Big Buck Hunter and what I thought was a pole position 2. Got em both home and immediately got to work on em. Buck hunter had a bad hard drive and pole position had the typical burnt edge connector. Ordered a hard drive for the buck hunter and repaired the pole position that same night. Powered up the pole positon and low an behold, it was a pp1 instead of pp2 like the marqee and bezel showed....what a find since I really wanted a pp1 over pp2 and has since been restored back to pp1...I'm currently restoring a Dig Dug at the moment and have purchased the guts to a Ms. Pacman and Galaga for future projects...just needs to build the cabs for both of them...just got to say that I've learned alot from John's vids and is what inspired me to start my own arcde!!!!

Honestly I don't see any better way to fix it then what John says to do, other then replaceing the board and edge connector and that's an issue because a new edge connector will probablly do the same thing again, AND there are only so maney good boards out there so you don't want to waste them. Make what you have work if you can.
