Atari Centipede - Maintenance and Repair

Maintenance
and Repair
All
games require
certain maintenance
to
keep
them
in
good working order.
Clean, properly
main-
tained games
will
attract
players and earn
more
pro-
fits.
The most important maintenance
item
is running
the self-test every
time you collect
money from
the
^
coin box. Just
looking
at
a game will
not tell
you if
Mini-Trak Ball™
control, leaf
switch
or light-emit-
^
ting-diode (LED)
switches
are broken,
or if LEDs
have burned
out. The
self-test
will
inform
you
of any
of these
possible problems.
Second,
you should regularly
clean the
outside
of
the game and the coin
mechanisms. In
addition,
you
will need
to
regularly
lubricate
the Mini-Trak
Ball
control: for
details
see this chapter.
