I am working on my Midway chopper as one of the alien targets failed.
(Bad opto) It currently has a white 3" flouresent light as a backlight
but with the orange and green paint on the background I'm wondering if
it is supposed to be blacklighted. All the adjustments for sensetivity
for the optos are full up and I had to install a brighter bulb in the
chopper to consistantly trigger all the targets. (Except for the bad
one in the left rear corner.)
Anyone play one of these when they first came out in 1974 or so?
The background is cracked and kinda fried from the heat from the
flourescent. I plan to have a friend take a super high res pic and
photoshop the cracks and burns out of the background before
I reinstall the old background and reproduce a background on a wide bed
printer on new plastic.
The original background is bent and screwed to hold it in place. I'm
having difficulty reinforcing it as the plastic strips I attached peeled
right off upon this dissasembly.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I could send pics if you
want to see what I'm working with.
