Got it today, its home safe and sound though I did go through quite a bit of rain. I had tarps but they were torn to shreds after the first 75 miles! What junk! Anyway, it got wet and when I got home I tried to dry everything out between useing towls and a hair dryer. I though everything was dry and I powered it up. Board, lights, sound all came on but the monitor was blank...no power. So I tried a few other times (not recommended) and natta. So I picked up the hair dryer and started to shoot it around the monitor board and found quite a bit of water! Got it dryed up and let it sit for about an hour and presto! Game works fine! Now I just got to sell that other arcade game to partially pay for this one! Pics will come tomorrow cause I am beat from the 9 hours I was in the van. Oh, BTW...this weekend the current game in it will come out (maximum force) and the duo card goes in (area 51/maximu force) WHOO HOOO!!!

Cool. Hope the water didn't do any damage!

Well, with the particle board its always going to cause some damage when it gets wet, mostly some expansion due to the water but nothing that is going to be too bad. I am going to check on it tonight to see what kind of damage was done. The electronics work fine though which is the important part.

I'd like to have a nickel for every quarter I stuffed into a pinball machine when I was a kid.

Quote:Same here but for a arcade. I must have spent (easily) $700 on games. Today you have to pay $1 or more for a decent arcade game (newer ones). You can still play old ones for a quarter. This one is set up for .50 to start and .25 to continue but I am thinking of adding a secret button somewhere to add credits faster then opening the coin door.
