I had to send out the deflection board to someone with more skills than me. He ended up giving me a different board so I don’t feel so bad that I couldn’t fix it.

History of RUSH THE ROCK.. My favorite arcade video game.
I stumbled across this technical history on my favorite game of all time:
I just love this game for all the reasons in the article. It is my hope to one day have 6 or 8 seats in a climate-controlled trailer to rent out. Even though Mario Kart would probably be a better candidate, I love Alcatraz so much that I would choose it over an even more profitable game. I owned a pair of these and sold them to a local guy 2 years ago. There is one at Bones arcade here in Billings that has crappy steering but is otherwise good. And I just finished up repairing a customer’s machine that will be found in Thermopolis Wyoming soon.
In the meantime, I’m testing, testing, testing……

This is what a burned trace looks like on a Bally solenoid driver board.
This was the trace for the outhole kicker on a Bally .
And this is the repair.
It must have been a smelly fire.

Midway Winner (Pong Clone) Converted to Trivia Whiz
I just picked this up at auction.It has a 13″ hitachi monitor with the neckboard snapped in half because the monitor was loose during transporation to the auction. This beautiful cabinet will be converted to a multi-game if someone doesn’t save it from it’s fate. Does anyone need a Trivia Whiz JAMMA board?
