Nice machine!   Easy fix !
      First, replace that coin mech. with a newer version (approx. $35 - $50), or convert the machine to freeplay (see coin mech. posts)
      If that doesn't fix it, invite your roommate's uncle over again, then show him the new wiring harness you just bought.

Nice machine... for cleaning tips just search on cleaning.  Depending on how much restoration you plan, you should also scan the posts in the restoration forum.  Lots of time saving tips in both areas.

These machines are pretty robust.  First step is a good power wash (after it's unplugged).  From there its chemicals and elbow grease.  ':cool:'  Have fun and make sure you post pics once it's sparkling.

Great first machine!
I have that exact same model in my gameroom.
See the photo of Dr. Galaga and me when he visited my house.
Good to have you here.

Actually, we didn't get a new wiring harness, his uncle just fixed it all up with a extension cord (which he of course cut up) and some wiring caps.

While looking around a couple of places online, I think there may be someone parting out either a CSS-64 or USS-64. If they still have the shelves, would shelves from those models fit my CS-64?

Also how would I tell if I had power going to the front of my machine?  I think that is part of my problem with the machine. I had power going to it for a little while, then it stopped when I went to close everything up.

I have seen on ebay where someone sells restoration manuals. Has anyone had any experience with those and if so how are they? Is there anywhere that I might get a copy of the original manual for the machine?

Sorry for all of the questions, I am just excited about my machine, and have no experience with them until now.  But it is great to have such a helpful group of people who are experts at this avaliable for us novices. I may come up with yet more questions, but I will try to post them in the appropriate forum (if avaliable)

Thanks for all of your help!
