Thanks, as I've never worked with SMD before, so all I have is TH parts to test with. I will be placing an order for some SMD ones now. I've got 2 of these boards and a friend has 2 that might be afflicted with the same problem, so have a few to fix. The size of these are 0.86 mm wide x about...

That just shares the ground between the two sides. It probably isn't enough since the relay on the board is a DPDT and switches both - and + on the audio connector. If neither board play sounds in attract mode this might work if you also jumpered over the + pins as well, but then you'll be...

Many of you may have bought one of these 2-in-1 Jamma switchers off eBay, Amazon or AliExpress or other sites. Some seem to work fine, others have a bad issue that makes them totally unusable. The problem is that no matter which slot is selected, the sound is only supplied by one of the slots...

Restore it into an even rarer Pac&Pal using the modified rom images posted last month that will work on the Super Pac boardset. PS: I have a spare set of control panels with overlays attached (and joysticks/wiring) in the event you needed them due to condition/hacks on what you get. Can't...

Nice pickup. I played one (alongside an even rarer Kick(man) cocktail) at a pay-for-the-day bumper car/arcade place in Bismarck, ND as a kid. Those two were never busy unlike the uprights, so spent more time on those two. I picked up one last summer from a friend (Kryosfear) and completely...

My gawd. And it's located within 5 miles of me too. Ashamed to say it's from ND! It's still listed: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tekken-Upright-Arcade-Machine-Game-FREE-SHIPPING-VERY-Rare-/262625415764 This one has been on our local Craigslist for over 2 years in a rummage/garage sale ad: (pics...

The problem with "self-service" and even sometimes "counter service" (with newer postal employees) is that they have such incredibly detailed and outright screwed up rules that sometimes make the US Tax code seem easy to navigate. There are rules that make sense: Size and weight; and even the...

It's probably just a"plug in type tube" broken http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/clt/5774545908.html

If someone says, “I couldn’t care less”, it means that the amount of care and concern they have about something could not be any less, any lower. This is the correct alternative when implying "I don't care at all about that". Therefore when someone says"I could care less", it means the...

I haven't had time to do more testing on mine. But those those on the fence, today through 7 PM PT (9 CT, 10 ET) you can get these for $10 off from eBay: Just use promo code C10FALLFLASH which applies to any $50 or higher BIN purchase. The HotS II versions are still just above $55 and the PB4...

I have a Rush and built an adapter to let me plug a Crusin USA or World PCB into the cabinet and play. Only took a weekend to hand build. You could easily do the opposite.

Just search the bay for the game title (Heroes of the storm) and then the word Jamma or 645. So it appears these are PB3 units; which reportedly, in this PCB layout, are bootlegs of the original PB3 boards as well. The original PB3 units had the volume control as a flat disc instead of knob...

Also any glass that you have that is reverse painted (marquee's, bezels) like Taito and Atari stuff (and almost anything Pinball) -- get those out of the garage. Glass and paint expand and contract at different rates. If the temperature swings a lot then the paint will delaminate from the glass...

Williams joysticks use an inverse binary output pattern compared with the Happ/Atari ones. You will need to wire up a pair of 7404 Hex Inverter chips on the data lines to invert the binary logic so that the ArcadeSD will work with them. Basically you will need to turn a 1001 0111 output into a...
