Straight up. What single machine are you working on now the most?

yeah that's a nightmare restore. berserk.
Good luck with all those boards man

Just going Jamma/Jrok  

you mean you don't want to restore that fucking massive board stack?

It's not in there anyway, it was Konami Yie Ar Kung Fu, I am going the easy route with Jamma/Jrok I know, but I always intended to with this one. Board should be here next week.

Yeah those things aint cheap either.

I've spent a silly amount of time messing with my Space Invaders cocktail I bought non-working. 

1) I rebuilt the power supply & replaced a fried resistor
2) replaced the board set (it actually had a Midway EM game PCB called Submarine an operator probably stuck in there by mistake.  They do look similar
3) cleaned control panels & rebuilt the buttons & sweet lever-style joysticks
4) Bought a backup chassis and capped both the old & new
5) figured out the new chassis didn't work in the cocktail b/c it didn't have relays to make the screen flip
4) got the new chassis to work beautiful, but attempted to swap boards between frames to trouble shoot the original chassis, but fried the HV diode by discharging improperly (B&W monitors are a while different thing)
5) got frustrated & sent the original chassis to Chad at Arcade Cup for repair
6) added the Braze 8-in-1 multi kit
7) finally works perfectly!

It felt like I've been working on it forever.  The monitor still needs to be tweaked once and a while
