I only have one spike on location. Its back in my shop waiting on its 4th node to be replaced. This game cost more to keep running than the other 14 combined. Needless to say I highly doubt I'll be buying another spike system game.

Ghost busters.

I guess what really chaps my ass is the cost of the boards. There markup has to be 400%.

I work industrial maintenance for a living. Every time I see quotes for machine parts it blows my mind. So at 600% stern pays $32.80 which sounds right.

well I just put my new node board in and looks like I will have to order 4 new light board. And the best part is I have no idea what caused this failure. I really f***ing hate this system!

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

Did your node board have the secured diode fix?
When that diode fails, it can send high voltage down to the light boards.

That very well could be what happened. This is the led board that is in the back of the playfield.
