The reason I ask is that my older brother was an arcade tech many years
ago for Chuck E Cheese. He complained that when the manager would flip the
breakers to turn on all the games, (as I remember) that the Star Wars unit
would often blow a diode in the deflection board. It had to be turned off
and on individually from other games.
Does this sound plausable?
[Its somewhat strange that now I collect video games. I had forgotten all
about my brother's old job when I got into collecting.]
