nice Sprint 2. whyd you sell it? I didn't know the marquee was supposed to blink.(looks cool that way) mine just has a fluorescent up there. power supply on the pcb was always a problem on these, burning out the edge connectors. this was the 2nd game I ever bought, I really hope John restores his and does a vid on it. mine needs a better picture tube.  see ya

I beat him to it.. i repaired this one.
I had to recap the board, fix the harness and have the monitor rebuilt.
Also another coin door.

I hooked my tube up to a rejuvenator and zapped it 5 times until I was scared I might kill it, but its not coming all the way back. oh well, if I can get rid of a bad "hum" ill start restoring the cabinet. yours looks nice. real classic from '76...  see ya
