Elevator Action is definitely a game worth restoring. The problem you descibe sounds like a fault in the PCB. Try re-seating/cleaning the pins on all the socketed PCB's. Check all the ribbon cables. Measure the +5 voltage at a chip on each of the boards to make sure it's almost exactly +5v. If all these things check out and the problem still happens, it's most likely a component failure on the PCB. A replacement PCB can be had for $40-50.

If you decide that you must have a MAME cabinet, sell the Elevator Action and use the funds to buy a generic cabinet.

If you're in Northern California, I'll buy the EA from you.

: I recently purchased a semi-working Elevator Action Upright. (At goodwill, for $55) The games problem...
: Seems to function normally until you start the game.
: Right after "Otto" slides down the rope, he and the bad guys all "double up". And there is some other eradic action, but he is able to shoot, jump and move. Wondering if this might be a monitor or board problem? And easily fixable?

: My Problem... Should I gut it out and make a Mame cabinet or try to restore/fix it. I don't know how rare this game is. I really want a Mame cabinet :)
: I can't make up my mind.
: Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
