Not really a lot of “bad” other than trying to chase down a cold solder connection or switch connection. Fixing the problem takes seconds. Find the problem can take hours.

More good news is most parts are still available with Steve Young.

I like short challenging games. I play my EMs and early SS more than others. I like the Jersey Jack POTC but we’re talking an hour plus commitment and a good game to appreciate and unlock what it has to offer.

Spend some time with the recent threads regarding pooling chipping of clearcoat on some of the machines being made today. Maybe stop and look at some threads on trying to resolve node board failures etc.

Now pour one out for them and go play your EMs that don’t have any of those problems.
