And My New Adventure Comes to a Frustrating Hault

Well...when it comes to electronics and circuitry, I don't have the patience. I spent the past two days with a multimeter trying desperately to get the MPU board on Attila the Hun to boot. No luck. Circuitry frustrates me more than anything so I've given up. I found someone on KLOV who wants to give it a shot for me. I'm mailing him the boards tomorrow and with any luck he'll be able to get it up and running for me. Once I have the game working, I can make the call if I want to go through with the restoration or not...I don't want to dump too much money into this thing. And on a side note, I might have found a local business who can reproduce the backglass for me! They're going to be giving me a call tomorrow morning to discuss it with me, I'll keep you updated!

Oh yeah, one more exciting piece of news for me. My PONG board is fixed! About a month ago I shipped it to a guy in Florida who repairs them. Next week it should be arriving and then I can finally play a game of Pong on my machine!


I hate you, stupid broken MPU board! (It's the top right board)


Blah, my multimeter, I hate you too!
