This is just a short post to update on the status of fixing the score/timing problem with Demolition Derby (see my earlier post in that category). I got a package of goodies from Bob Roberts today. In that package was a bunch of parts I ordered to get Moon Patrol and Pac-Man working, a power supply repair kit for Battlezone (I’ll explain in another post), leg levers, some tools, moon pies and mardi gras stuff…AND the capacitor that I needed to swap for Demolition Derby.

I put the new cap in, and it didn’t fix the problem. Oh well…probably should have been replaced anyway. I poked around on the board a bit, checking it over for problems. I was able to find the section on the board that corresponds to the timing and score. It has quite a few repairs on it, but everything seemed OK as far as I can tell (and I can’t tell much! ). I’m not touching this again at least until I finish watching my training DVDs from Randy Fromm.

I should be posting soon about a new game that we are getting soon, knock on wood. I won’t mention it’s name so I don’t jinx it.

I’m off to build some power supply boards for Pac-Man and Moon Patrol.
