Is the picture of the board I spliced into to power up the converter board a power supply? Would it be better to splice into the power supply inside the computer case(or somewhere else)? Would it be smart to put a fuse in the line that is overheating?(don't want to burn the house down). I will...

I have owned about 20 video games. 90% of the self-unfixable problems I have had involve the monitor or chassis board. All other stuff I fix on my own and cheaply. This is the last one I currently own and this one has a chassis board problem. Just trying to eliminate what I feel is the biggest...

I am converting a Hydro Thunder to an LED monitor. Ordered a cga to vga converter from Amazon. I did not notice that the connector on the board was soldered on backwards(see picture) and unknowingly connected the black ground wire to the +5 volts side and the red +5 volt wire to the ground side...

Have a Treasure Chest crane that when you push the button to lower the claw, it comes down about an inch, the claw closes and goes back up. Does this often. Claw also comes down all the way like normal. Can't understand why. Any help appreciated.

I have 5 or 6 bridges for Treasure Chest, or Talon Crane machines in various states of disrepair. Anybody interested? I have no use for them. I could go through them to see what various problems each has. No claws or coils included.

Treasure Chest error code That's not an error code. The machine is resetting itself. I see a dollar bill in the acceptor. If your power supply is low, sometimes when you put coins or dollars in it takes too much out of the power supply for it to function. So the machine will just reset itself...

Came across 2 of these machines. They are really cool. It plays like a Sports Arena, but there is a feature that lets you buy any of the objects in the machine outright by putting enough credits on the machine to match the number on the digital readout next to the items spool. Only problem is...

Who and where are you? Maybe I can.

Coin sorter I think I might use it if it works OK. But am also interested in its worth.

Picked up this old old coin counter/sorter. It was made by RMR Enterprises out of Detroit MI. Couldn't find any info on the web about the company or the machine. I haven't plugged it in and tried it yet, but the guy I purchased it from said it worked the last time he used it about 10 years ago...

I have been in the amusement game business for over 30 years. Mostly cranes but some pinball, video games jukes air hockey etc. Have read forums forever and find them to be extremely useful. Although I have never posted before, I am thinking of becoming more involved. Thanks everyone in advance...

I have just purchased a Candyman Crane. Everything works fine except that the claw will not close. Sometimes it tries to close but stops. I replaced the cable that goes from the back of the machine to the gantry from another machine and the claw closed just fine. I looked for a place to purchase...

I have a Rowe cd100a jukebox that has been working fine for about 5 years. Now, when I try to turn the page to select a cd from the control buttons on the front, it puts credits on the machine and does not turn the pages. Also does the same thing if I use the page turning switch inside the...
