Good news! Well, sort of. I found out why my Robotron wasn't working. The CPU board has a problem. I swapped the CPU board in my Stargate with the Robotron one and now my Robotron is working again! The problem is, now my Stargate doesn't work. So I will have to diagnose the problem with the CPU board and fix that.

If anyone has any clue what might be wrong with it, drop me an @EMAIL@. The symptoms is that when going into the diagnostics, it shows that all controls for Player 1, Player 2, and Player 2 Start (NOT player 1 start), are stuck "ON".

I replaced the fuse block on my MsPac and all I can say is WOW! It's like I gave the monitor a cap kit! Bright crisp screen now, with ZERO hum bar! Next thing to replace is the edge connector so that the game doesn't reset during play.

So my Galaga died today...
 
I'm not sure if it's coincidence or related, but I was turning the power off on my Defender by the power switch under the control panel at the exact time it failed. The switch was a bit tough to toggle so it was like in the half way position when it happened. Both games are on the same circuit.

Restoration/Preservation has begun on my Kickman.
 
It's not a full restoration, but more of a preservation of what is there.  I like trying to keep things as original as possible.  With that in mind, I can take a few chances on this one as the damage is already done.  I'm mainly trying to prevent even more damage when I can.  Worse comes to worse, I'll do a full restore on it down the road.
