On to Defender!

The Ms Pacman is doing very well in its new home (my eldest daughter's bedroom). There was an issue where the colors of the monitor were off, but re-routing the internal power lines cleared up the issue.

My son and I moved the Defender game into the house. I then proceeded to pull all the guts out of the cabinet (it's an upright) and lay them out on a table. I have confirmed there's an issue with the power supply, it appears the 35A bridge rectifier (BR1) is shot so I've ordered a replacement (& some other parts) from Bob Roberts.

The GO7 monitor is filthy so I've spent some time trying to clean it up. I think I need to hault it out to the garage so I can use my air compressor to clean it up.

Yesterday I used a sponge and some soapy water and cleaned the now empty cabinet inside & out. There's some repair work needed on the cabinet, the previous owner had installed a standard light switch (the kind you have in your home) and cut a rather large hole in the cabinet. After these repairs are done I'm considering purchasing a set of stencils (www.gamestencils.com) and repainting the exterior.

The priority is the electronics. With the parts I ordered from Bob I should be able to get the power supply working. Once the game is operational, I'll re-cap the GO7. Then I can move on to the aesthetics of the game.
