Need Help Old Arcade Game Repair

[Libertarian01]

If ANYONE on here does arcade game repair work, HELP!

If you know anyone who does this work please let me know.

Decades ago I bought my father a full sized arcade game called "Make Trax." He has probably put thousands of hours of play on this game and it is now having some serious issues.

I checked in Fort Wayne at Putt Putt and they are no help. I tried the You Break I Fix store, but I have to bring it in and am guessing this specialty is out of their depth. I even tried some shop up near Lansing Michigan but they wouldn't do the work as they didn't sell it, but they can provide parts. That doesn't do me much good.

I am guessing this is a specialty field keeping the old arcade games going, so if ya'll know of somewhere in or near Indiana please let me know. Doug has a pickup truck and will be more than able to deliver and pickup so long as I know I'm taking it to someone good. My father doesn't have much to do anymore and he just loves playing on the thing.

I'll keep looking on my own but help would be appreciated.

Regards and Happy New Year,

Doug

Main St Amusements in downtown Lafayette does pinball repair. Maybe he does other work. I've had him repair a 1970's era pachinko machine before but it was all mechanical.

Doug,

I have a guy here in town who services all my arcade games. He used to be the tech at Jack Eiser Sales on North Anthony, now he does stuff on his own. I have used him for years.

Dave Hanson- 260-403-7785

Thanks folks!

I have already spoken w/ Mr. Hanson and while he is not hopeful if it is a monitor problem, at least he'll take a look at it and go from there. It is a promising start.

Regards,

Doug

PS - I will keep Main St. Amusements in mind along w/ any others sent in case Mr. Hanson isn't able to get it done. Thanks again.

That's the game! But I'd never be able to teach my dad at this stage how to play on any other machine.

I'll keep these in mind as well. The more options for me the better.

I feel like a Cuban trying to fix his car...

They are decent guys. I bought my sit down California Speed off of them a couple years back.
