A VERY broken 1980's Williams Defender Arcade machine - Part 2. This was sent to me by a viewer called Alex, who bought it for spares or repair a couple of years ago. It has been worked on previously by someone else, and Alex said he thinks they made things worse!
Let's see how bad this is... spoiler: IT'S BAD!
I'm not an expert, but I do enjoy trying to fix things.
