Because Arcade games are constantly needing maintenance and repair, I’m continually having to open the games up to replace a capacitor or re-seat a chip. I often forget what repairs I’ve previously done or forget steps I’ve already taken since there is usually a 1-5 year gap between repairs, which is enough time to forget everything you’ve learned.
I’m going to create some repair log entries on the blog for my own records but I figured I’d post them publicly in case they end up helping someone else out.
