Double Dragon arcade issues
Question from Eric: Hi guys, how are you today? This is Eric from Wisconsin emailing about the Double Dragon arcade I bought a few months ago at a pawn shop. I was over the moon when I found this gem for $400. I have played quite a bit and did notice a bit of screen jumping, but was willing to live with it. Also the colors have faded a bit and a bit of screen burn but no big deal . I was playing the other day when my machine just died on me. The sound and everything died at once. I really dont know the first thing about fixing it but I found your website as I have begun to research what may have went wrong. I guess the first thing I will need to do is test the power running to different parts, do you know where I will be able to buy replacement parts? Do you sell them? I appreciate any direction you may give me to fix this wonderful game of mine. Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.

Response from Jonathan: Eric,
We recommend buying all of your replacement parts from therealbobroberts.net. Bob has a tremendous selection of parts for pretty much every arcade game you can think of. The only downside to Bob is that he is old school. You basically send him a list of the parts you want, you send him a check and he ships he parts to you. With that said, he provides excellent customer service and can help identify the parts you need to purchase.
As far as troubleshooting your game, it sounds like your power supply probably failed. Check out our post on Checking And Replacing A Power Supply for more information. Depending on the type of power supply your game currently has in it, you might also need to check out our post on Checking A Classic Power Supply as well. Thank you for your question and good luck with your future repairs.
Response from Tim: You can get a lot of parts from bob roberts http://www.therealbobroberts.net or http://www.arcadeshop.com or http://www.happcontrols.com
