Questions

Do you repair CRT monitors?

No. When a CRT fails, we replace it with an LCD and set it up for the game, which is more reliable and easier to keep running.

My game turns on but the screen is black. What should I check?

Make sure the screen has power and the brightness hasn’t been turned down. If it’s still dark, the problem is often the screen, the game board or the power supply, and it’s worth having it looked at.

Do you come to my house?

Yes, for most repairs in Billings and the surrounding area. Board repairs come back to the shop.

What should I tell you when I request service?

The game’s name, whether it’s an original or a newer home cabinet, and what it’s doing. A photo of the screen or the problem helps.
