History: Sold the bare cabinet to Jessie [Mar 9, 2008] :: Fixed the flouro light in the Tetris marquee [Aug 24, 2007] :: Installed a new flouro fixture and threaded receptacles for the marquee in the Tetris, retouched the cabinet - looks great now! [Mar 01, 2006] :: Resurrected my Tetris - was a blown or flaky transformer - happy that I had another spare - going out to pickup some Martini glasses and do a happy dance [Feb 17] :: Got a new flouro tube for the Tetris, and powered it up - small flash, and then nothing - burned a fuse / go get another / hmm, blown variable power supply? DOH! [Feb 10] :: Reading over my Tetris Kit manual, it mentioned a tweak for noisy monitors - added in a .1 yf 50 volt ceramic capacitor into the ground path, and it took the monitor from complete crud to pretty darn nice! Amazing what a 50 cent part can do in the right place. Pumped! [Feb 8] :: Won a Disney tetris board on eBay [Feb 02] :: Won a regular tetris board on eBay [Jan 11] :: ell, the Tetris is missing the JAMMA board, but has a monitor and manual [Dec 12, 2005] :: Bought the Tetris, dead from a local dealer (along with a Street Fighter II) [Dec 10] ::
