Sometimes fixing arcade games is a pain in the......
I have been working on a game called Sea Wolf. Very fun old game from the mid 70's. Very fun...when it works. A friend of mine wanted one pretty bad. I found one for him -non working- and said I'm sure I can fix it. Well, after about 4 weeks, I finally got it working. Then two days after that, it quit. I have been going crazy trying to figure out what happened. Problem is that it is very old and the documentation on it stinks. Very poor documentation. Been about 2 months now. I'm about ready to light fire to it. My friend thinks I should take pictures of it so he can remember what it looks like. I'll keep trying for a bit longer. Here is a link to see what the game looks like. See if you can remember ever playing this old classic. Midway's Sea Wolf

Are there any arcade fan type forums where you can post a question or two? Would be very cool to resurrect that beauty!
There are a few out there that I am familiar with but only a few individuals that actually repair them. I know who they are and may try to solicit their help. They usually give little info because they want the board sent to them for repair. But, you never know...might get a crumb of info that will help!
