Title: Advice on keeping game healthly
Post by: Slseed1969 on December 10, 2016, 01:13:01 pm
Hi forum gurus. I'm a new owner of a classic Qbert. This is my first arcade cabinet and I'm looking for some advice. As a noob, what should I do to keep my system healthy and running? I know there are some initial things I should look at like recapping the power supply. Are there other recommendations? Would you recommend I keep it powered off when I'm not using it or does switching it off and on regularly damage the system?

Do not leave it plugged in at all times. Turn it on only when you want to play it
