Hey, I'm making a custom overlay for a scrapped together galaga pacman cocktail and I really want to do the game instruction like the official galaga pacman reunion cocktail. Could anyone who owns one take a picture of the section with the directions? Preferably close enough and with a good...

Well the volume trick sort of fixed it, but with the lights on I read 11v on the 12v line, that's a bit of a dip. I tried hooking them to the -5v line...but then they are pathetically dim. Can you get little wedge bulbs that work fine on 5v? I looked and 3w 12v bulbs were the lowest I could...

Ok, sort of fixed it. I checked all my grounds and nothing was wrong, but If I turn the volume up on the PCB (Galaga Pacman Reunion) and then turn it down a bit to the right level using the cabinet's volume pot it's gone. Seems I originally had the volume on the PCB just a hair above being...

So I finally got around to reinstalling the lights in my Midway cocktail cab, and when I turn it on the speakers whine. if I unplug any of the 3 sets of lights it stops. The lights are 3 sets of 2 bulbs for the two control panels and coindoor 24cent windows, they are just wired directly to the...

rustoleum protective enamel satin finish. The stuff for outdoor patio furniture.

Just sprayed my control panels on saturday and I'm impatient about waiting for the spray paint to gas out before applying my control panel overlays. About how long should I wait?

I think it's pretty awesome. Sort of a cool dedicated single player cocktail, as someone else pointed out, it is a lot like a candy cab in many ways. Whatever it may be, its awesome and what a great score.

Up for grabs is a set of Gorf cocktail control panels. Player 1 is ripped up as pictured, player 2 is dirty but complete, metal has some very minor rust and needs painting/powdercoating. Player 2 has been scrubbed and washed, hence the brighter color. Joystick mounting holes are for oldschool...

Not really. There is a Scandia mini golf place a bit outside of Sacremento but it's kind of sad and has the bare minimum of good arcade games. Roseville, which is up fwy 80 a bit has a big arcade and some retro stuff. Nothing amazing but it's probably the best in the area.

You should just drill it. The locks aren't anything special and once you drill the old one out you can just install a new one without damaging the cab. You save yourself a fair bit of time and effort trying to pick locks.

How hard is it to rotate te monitor in a Naomi Universal. Pretty self explanatory really. Is it a massive pain in the ass you'll only want to put up with once, or pretty easy? I know Egrets are super easy, but that's the only cab I can think of that has a special mechanism. I really want a...

Is this the standup or sit down version?

Attach the ground lead to any metal point on the chassis, attach the other to the far leg of the huge resistor. The resistor in question is the massive white one attached to the metal chassis on the left side (looking at the monitor from the back) it looks like a white ceramic brick about 2...

That will be a cocktail of epic proortions! I have a 34" Sony 16:9 1080i CRT as my regular home TV and it takes 3 people to move it. Doesn't help that Sony neglected to build in any decent handholds :-D

Never heard of this game, and according to Vaps its none too common, but this guy has a working cocktail for sale, although it looks like that monitor has seen better days. On'y $200 though. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/vgm/2544069895.html Just watched a Video of the game on youtube and...
