I bet you let out a shout when it powered up and you saw "Unit OK" and heard the noise :)

@UrgentementeUK yeah especially considering what it looked like when i got it and all the work i put into it. thx.

[UrgentementeUK]

@funkbum Do you have any pics of the restoration work, be great to see before and after (and middle...) pics.

[playniax]

Yes greatest game ever, That is why I did a remake. Check it out!

what did you do to fix the problem? I have a defender cocktail with similar(although not quite as bad) issues. I think I might send my rom board out for a cleaning and re-flashing.

@S0MePuNK sorry i missed this comment. hope you got it working. all i did was pull the rom chips off, clean then, and blow out the pin holes and it started working.

@funkbum I did the same thing to mine and everything seems to have cleared up. Next I have to just bite the bullet and buy new joy sticks...get new plexi(or glass), and clean up the cab in general. Thanks for the advise.
