    What’s One Arcade Game You Regret Selling or Passing On?

    I had a Missile Command that I bought for cheap, fixed up, and then fell for the "we don't have any room at home" spiel. I haven't seen another one come up for sale locally since, and there was definitely enough room to keep it.

    Will a SF Rush fit in a mini van?

    There are two versions of the cabinet, one where the seat comes off, and one where it doesn't. You'll probably want to double check with the seller. I managed to fit a Rush 2049 in my Dodge Caravan, but I had to take the seat off, and then separate the plastic seat off the wood base.

    The blown out or up flyback thread.

    The one with a hole in it is from a K7000. The other one is from a 27" Sanwa in my Time Crisis 3, but I can't remember the exact model.

    Best place to purchase bulk arcade machines

    UK and Ireland have some actual gambling mixed in with their coin pushers that run on real money and give it back. Super addictive

    Best place to purchase bulk arcade machines

    We have a Gravity Hill and it earns well. The problem though is we've had it for about 3 years now, and some of the local kids have completely mastered it. They'll repeatedly win the big prize until they get bored. Redemption is our top earner, even the lowest earning redemption games still...

    Best place to purchase bulk arcade machines

    I'm also in Ontario, started a retro arcade, and added redemption a few years in. Some retro games barely make $10 a month. My redemption games make up a small part of my game floor, but bring in nearly 90% of the revenue. All the video games are just there to look pretty and bring people in.

    My duplicates, I'm down to only two pairs of Sega GTs now though.

    Thoughts on Waverunner GP

    I'd say that's mostly just magnetism, you could probably get away with running a deguass to clean most of it up. You may need a degaussing wand though. If the manual is right, it may be a Wells D9200, not fun to recap. Try asking the seller for a pic of the inside, maybe you can ID it that way?

    Thoughts on Waverunner GP

    Original WaveRunner came out in 1996, WaveRunner GP runs on a Naomi and came out in 2001. Since it's Naomi, the monitor is probably standard or VGA. I wouldn't be surprised if the cabinet has a tri sync though. The manual says they shipped with Wells Gardner monitors.

    Compact Redemption Game - Any Recommendations?

    They can be fun, and a lot of them you can actually still buy parts for. The other three, Speed Demon, Wonder Wheel, and Horsin' Around, are still somewhat supported by Baytek. I managed to score most of these for around $200 CAD each.

    Compact Redemption Game - Any Recommendations?

    Depends on what you're looking for. I bought a Big Rig Truckin' single player from a guy who had it in his basement running on nickels. Most of these games are really simple, but there are loads of games with a smaller footprint. They work well with tickets, but I wouldn't say they have a lot...

    Found em Dirty Photo thread

    I don't know if I ever posted these here, but a handful of pictures from a barn raid back in 2022. A lot of stuff couldn't be saved.

    Rush 2049 Fan Club Thread - It's Dangerous!

    This is the fixture I use, works great and very cost effective.

    Rush 2049 Fan Club Thread - It's Dangerous!

    I've had the ballasts burn up on me before on a few Midway/Atari games from that era, so I'd strongly recommend just replacing the fixture.
