I feel like a "Winner" today (my new EM machine)
« on: November 30, 2009, 08:19:50 PM »
Well I managed to negotiate a good deal with a local guy who dabbles in arcade stuff but admits he has no idea what to do to make it work. I picked up my new EM pinny today in pretty good (non working) condition.

Slight flaking of the backglass on the whites but otherwise OK.

Part of the deal was I have to spend a few hours with the seller on Wednesday showing him how to connect monitors and power supplies to his dozens of video cabinets.

The unusual feature of this game (to me anyway) is the 'sub-playfield' with six horses racing for the finish line. Also the machine has four flippers and is a two player game - pretty advanced from what I remember from the day. I was actually repairing these things in my younger days so let's see how I go! All advice/tips gratefully received.

Very interesting machine, I saw one, at an arcade dealer's shop, here in Perth a few weeks ago.
Good luck with the repairs.
