Still Working on the 2nd Arcade Bowling Machine
Finding more broken things in the game I had intended to keep. There are 2 fluorescent lights in the game that weren't working. Turns out that each one had it's own circuit for electricity and both had transformers that were fried...literally. One was charred black from the heat. I bought some cheap replacement fluorescent light fixtures, ripped them open, and stole their transformers to replace the fried ones. Ta daaaaa! Lights are now working. Replaced all the burnt out light bulbs and have come to find that the strike and spare lights are not working. Time to trace down that issue. Possibly a broken ground wire someplace. Then, the only thing left will be to wipe it down, polish the metal rails, and throw a quick coat of wax on the play field. Up for sale she will go. I will be sure to take a few pics and a quick video once all this is done.
