Question for those that own an arcade game machine

[robr]

I have a Star Wars arcade game with Amplifone monitor. I had to replace a few things at the beginning: bump stops in the steering yoke, HV transformer ($130!), PC board edge connectors, and one deflection power transistor. It has been solid now for many years of light use. The mostly-black display is nothing like a modern game, so it has some novelty appeal for kids.

It's nice that there are now amplifone replacement parts available. Back in the late 80s when I had several Atari XY machines, I had to pay big bucks at NECO and ROWE to get them to part with their last boards (it certainly wasn't easy to find parts for this type of thing without the internet!!). After those blew, I ended up converting the machines to Wells Gardner and never had any further problems. I understand there's a third party company that now makes the amplifone parts and that they are far more reliable these days.

My coworker's arcade website hasn't been updated in two years, so I won't bother sharing it until he does.
