Try a 4 amp?

This sounds like bad advice. Smiley Don't over fuse, you can make it worse!



It WOULD be bad advice, but the research I did on the internets seems to reveal that it is supposed to be a 4A fuse!

Cmon man, what kinda fool you take me for??  Grin

Good show this year game wise but REALLY crowded, even late into the night. I'm starting to feel like experience wise it may be becoming a victim of it's own success.

I miss the old place where they had the big video screens blasting out the 80's tunes too. Sad

I have TZ, WCS94, Jackbot, BK2K, a non working Spanish Eyes (that was a free pickup) and just got a Judge Dredd (my second) that I am shopping out, and for vids I have an Ultracade, a Gyruss (freebie!) and a Blasteroids.

Hey guys,

Recently picked up a really clean Ultracade in a Dynamo Jamma+ cab, but of course the Ultracade PC was dead as a doornail. Decided to toss a Pandora's Box 4 in it, and after moving around some ground wires it works, and all the switches will work in test mode, but the button presses are really laggy, like you can tap 5 times before the switch fires on some buttons, and some work just fine. Any ideas what could be causing this issue? I tried a second PB4 and no change. Sad

Thanks for any advice.

Made the trip to Seattle for the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show last weekend. Great show, and also took in some of the Pacific Northwest's finest barcades. Give it a look, if you're into that kind of thing!

"Pole Position I + II" is the best I can come up with. Everything else sounds a little too... yeah.

Could explain why you see lots of the board sets out there without the "Licensed by Centuri" text...

Hey guys, my name's Dan, I'm in Northern California, lifetime arcade game fan. Been collecting arcades and pinballs for the last 12 or so years, I have 5 pins and just picked up my first vid in a WHILE, a Gyruss, and the Gyruss resto videos brought me here!
