Arkanoid, a classic. This game was purchased as a working machine from a classic game arcade. It was/is missing the monitor
bezel and locks. The coin door is missing all parts of the coin mechs and there is a Centipede style button installed to register
credits. The monitor had weak colors.
I brought her home and descovered the monitor and plexiglass cover hadn't been cleaned probably in decades. I cleaned
them and it turns out the monitor is really crisp and clear.
After a few months in the arcade Arkanoid started freezing up. Thinking the power supply could be the culprit I took
it out and tried it in Continental Circus. I determined the power supply was good. The wiring harness was in need of adjustment. I bent slightly all the contact in
the harness and the game has worked great ever since.
I've been told that she appears to be in an old Centipede/Millipede cabinet.
I made a simple black monitor bezel from some construction paper bought at a local craft store.
