TIL a blog about old arcade machine repair still gets updated
I was at a retro gaming swap meet in Portland last fall and got talking to a guy fixing a Donkey Kong cabinet. He mentioned this blog, 'Coin-Op Corner', run by a retired technician in Ohio. It's just him posting detailed repair logs, maybe twice a month, with photos of burnt-out boards and hand-drawn wiring diagrams. I've been reading it since and it's the only place I've found that explains the voltage checks on a 40-year-old power supply. Anyone else stumble on a super niche blog like that?

Reminds me of a guy who hand-restores old jukeboxes, eric_price would dig his notes.
