Wizard of Wor, Midway 1980

Super Cobra, Stern 1981

After reflowing solder on the headers and troubleshooting some dram errors, Stargate lives!

Jeff picked up a Spy Hunter. It works, but missing the MCR power board.

Jeff previously did a DK Jr. rom swap on the Eight Ball Action PCB and removed a daughter board not needed for DK Jr.  Tonight Jeff did a cap kit on the Sanyo EZ-20  chassis, and now the Eight Ball Action is back to a working DK Jr.  Jeff just needs the artwork to make this project complete.  Mike recently obtained a long sought after Dynamo HS1 cab, so tonight he built a rotary test rig to test his Ikari Warriors, Time Soldiers, Gondomania and Heavy Barrel PCBs for an upcoming multi-rotary cab project, stay tuned for more on that. Gleek brought his GleekShack supply of capacitors and assisted Jeff with the EZ-20 recap.

Mike and Gleek headed downtown Tuesday night to assist our good friend Don in readying his games in preparation for the next Offworld Arcade pop up on July 18th at Checker Bar. Qbert and Forgotten Worlds were repaired while control issues on both Centipede and Wizard of Wor were isolated to their respective game boards.

After a mind blowing 7 week absence, Weekly Fix-it Night triumphantly rerturns!!!  Mike reassembled a monitor after a previously finished re-cap which also involved a frame swap, and also began wiring the control box for Gleek’s Jamma test rig.  Gleek built a Missile Command pcb to Jamma adapter to allow for easier bench troubleshooting of, you guessed it, his Missile Command pcb. Jeff was in attendance as well but came straight from work so he did not have anything to work on.  Based on the photos found on my phone the next day, a lot of beer was drank. We wrapped the evening up with more beer and some cigars outside on the patio in the rain under an umbrella.  

Gleek managed an impressive 25,950 high score on Elevator Action getting to the 3rd building which I personally have never seen (it appeared to be a copy of the 1st building with increased difficulty). Last night also marked the debut of Offworld's new stellar T-shirt design available in gold or grey.
