Had a weirdly good Tuesday fixing a 1980s arcade cabinet
This guy brought in a beat-up Pac-Man machine that had been in his garage for like 15 years. I figured the power supply was toast, but after cleaning the edge connector with a pink eraser, it just fired right up. I mean, I spent maybe an hour on it total, and he was so happy he paid me double my usual rate. Anyone else have a simple fix that turned a whole day around?

Seriously, it's just an old game machine. People get way too excited about fixing basic stuff. It was probably just dusty.

Guess you've never felt the pure joy of bringing something back to life, huh?

It's just fixing a thing, not saving a life. The bar for joy seems pretty low.
