Quoted from stangbat:I'm giving you advice based on years of real world experience operating games that are turned on 14+ hours a day, not advice based on a paper that someone wrote based on theoretical expectations. I've got tons of games reliably running original capacitors with no problems
I completely disagree. The caps are cheap enough that replacing them won't break the bank and the time spent is minimal. Its obvious that replacing the caps on a supply or driver board are more important than say replacing caps on a sound board. Pecos you are moving in the right direction.
I would say my other piece of advice is to take the money you earn on the old games and work towards acquiring newer generation titles. The public will play the classics for a bit and then they will start to tank. Because of this the older games will need rotated out at a higher rate which is more work for you.
