Always enjoy your repair videos , keep going . I know it’s slow to start but I think the more videos you do the more people will start watching . I appreciate you taking the time to film , I realize how much time it takes .
I'm shocked that those batteries didn't leak and screw up the MPU board. The owner got really lucky! By the way, this game uses non-magnetic balls as I recall. I learned this the hard way on the one I worked on back in the day when the moon feature wasn't working properly because someone had installed normal balls in the machine.
Those batteries are from the 90’s . I’d even go as far to say they may be the originals. Or maybe the second set. They haven’t used that logo in many years . I’m surprised they were still going ! I guess we could say they went in in the early 2000’s but still , that’s a very long time ! And I just googled and Rayovak sold to Energizer like 5 years ago . Never even knew !
We just inherited this machine and have some questions: How does the machine retain memory after taking out the batteries? Why not just put some new AA batteries in it?
You can replace the batteries, but someone will ultimately forget about them and they will leak all over and ruin the boards. Replacing them with batteries located off the board or swapping out the RAM with NVRAM is a much better option.

Yeah, they don't make batteries like they used to.
That’s a great game , first time I’ve seen one worked on or played . Interesting that it uses the black beast coils like Data East used .
At the time, the manufacturer's were collapsing/merging...so lots of crossover.

Crazy they still had a charge and had not leaked!
Hopefully that wasn’t your toothbrush Jane was using to clean the dirty moon 😂

What capacitor meter was that?
XC60131L It is kind of a cheapo, but it works OK.
