🪖 These Dynamo air hockey tables are tanks. I've seen people standing on them. I've seen countless drinks spilled on them. I've even seen people having sex on them. These tables really have seen it all. Yet they continue to soldier on. But occasionally they need a bit of help.


This one was having issues with the sound effects not playing, displays not working, and the pucks jamming up in the goal ends. The puck jams were simple enough: foreign debris in the goal ends. But the sound and display issues were narrowed down to a fault on the control board.


A new control board and repairs to a bad solder joint on one of the volume pots fixed the sound issues. But the displays still didn't work. The way the new control board handles display data is different from the old board. Getting the displays going necessitated getting a new wiring harness for the overhead, and rewiring half of the cabinet with it. Fiddly work, and a lot of crawling around on the floor. But once the new harness was hooked up, we had the displays going again.


This table lives on to have countless more games played on it, drinks spilled on it, and children conceived on it! 💋
