  1. Space invaders - power cord replacement

    I'm not super electrical savvy. I'm replacing the power cord on a space invaders cocktail. Can you please tell me what color wire connects to each labeled number connection? 1, 2, 3. Green, white, black. I don't want to mess anything up. Thanks,

  3. Good LCD for cocktail builds

    Hi everyone, I'm building a couple cocktail style arcades out of barrels. What recommendations do people have for LCDs that have good visibility from multiple angles? Basically what LCD would work best for looking top down? Thanks,
  4. Leave CRT games on or turn them off

    This is really helpful! Thank you all so much!
  5. Leave CRT games on or turn them off

    I have some original CRT arcades that I want to keep as original as possible. Especially the CRT. They have high quality CRTs that I want to keep in good condition. I've heard two train of thoughts: 1. Leave your games on 24/7 will maintain the picture quality and such. 2. Turn your games...
  6. Gauntlet cab with rotating pcb hit titles for routing - joystick and other input

    I got you. This is the wrong crowd for what I'm going for with this specific build. Dually noted and will be taken into consideration for future posts. If it makes anyone feel better, this game was already converted to a PC emulator with a PC monitor and about 30 buttons on the control...
  7. Gauntlet cab with rotating pcb hit titles for routing - joystick and other input

    Totally agree and thanks for your input. If I'm restoring something for my basement, then I like to keep it original. But if I have a location with limited space that doesn't want CRTs for energy consumption and amperage draw, then I will accommodate them. Especially when I have a cab without...
  8. Gauntlet cab with rotating pcb hit titles for routing - joystick and other input

    Hi Everyone, My current project is fixing up a Gauntlet cab for a location that really enjoys flashy lights and LCD. (I know it isn't the purest route with CRT and original parts, which I prefer, but the location loves bright shit that gets young player's coin drop.) I'm installing unico lcd...
  9. Silver strike bowling LCD Recommendations

    I have a 2009 silver strike bowling that the monitor was parted out to another machine. This will be my first LCD conversion. Any recommendations on LCDs and conversion boards? (Links would be helpful.) Also if there are any tips and tricks, I would welcome those as well. Thank you! Daniel

  11. Guess that Chasey - Rounded screen corners - Max force/area 51

    Thank you @curtislv426 This is a good suggestion and nice learning opportunity for me. Unfortunately, no luck trouble shooting with the pin cushion adjustment. It looks like I'm going to recap it and see if that fixes the issue. Peter at Arcadepartsandrepair.com sent me a link to the correct...
  12. Guess that Chasey - Rounded screen corners - Max force/area 51

    Hi guys. Any input on how you typically fix the rounded corners. Does a recap usually take care of that? Thanks I'm just getting into the hobby of fixing games.
  13. Guess that Chasey - Rounded screen corners - Max force/area 51

    Hi everyone, I have this Frankenstein Maximum Force/Area 51 that I've been working on. I bought it as it is and really haven't done anything but clean and shop it. I have two questions: 1. The monitor is shrinking in on itself and has rounded corners. (See picture.) What causes this...
