Pole Position II at work devolved into checks notes "garbled screen of hellish landscape". this is a video describing some basic arcade game troubleshooting maneuvers (which when properly executed, made the game boot up again) as well as a switching power supply mod I've employed on other Atari games in the past that should make it more reliable. it ends on a cliffhanger because I believe I narrowed the graphic glitches down to 2149 RAM chips we didn't have on hand, so there will be a Part 2 in the near future. at the end is a before and after easter egg where I fixed Pac-Man because I needed a win for the day (which will probably result in a separate video later)

the chapter titles resemble Stranger Things episode titles. also you don't see me, so my hands do a lot of talking this time. LOL
