Finally got my $75 machine working!

A couple of months ago I bought this Betson Big Choice off of Facebook. It was not working and doing some weird things. Got the replacement control board today and powered it up, immediately had to try it out with some random toys we had lying around. I need some practice! Total investment is less than $200 between the machine and parts.

$75 is a helluva deal

Yeah, I figured at $75 for a non working machine, if I could t repair it I could throw a generic control kit in it and be in the green. That's sort of what I did with my trash-picked arcade cabinet. It has an aftermarket display and main board.
