First step is to count the flashes on the boards. Check the manual to verify that the diagnostics are going through a full boot. Too few flashes, and the manual will tell you what the last successful test was. Also, if the MPU still has a battery on it, make sure it didn't leak and destroy...

I have a 1954 Williams Colors pinball, and it was basically made as a gambling machine. Drop in a nickel to play a game, or drop in a second nickel to activate the "Star" feature. When your ball drained, it would light up a random number at the top, and if the number matched your last two...

A house built in 1874 with slate steps. I didn't think they were gonna be an issue, but they were NOT as easy as what it should have been! I truly had sympathy for you, but you aced them like a pro. You amazed me with your finesse going up the steps! Judging by the sweat, it was a bit of a...

Both poker machines are SOLD and are currently en route to their new home. Also, a loud shout out to @jetusenet for a great transaction! Fantastic buyer, flexible schedule, showed up a few minutes early. You can't ask for anyone better! I feel sorry for him because the machines were...

Sale pending

Still for sale, so price is now lowered: $200 for the pair, which includes paperwork and a bunch of spare boards.

I owned a Baby Pac and mine had that original sideart and bezel in it. I sold it a couple years ago to a fellow KLOV member. I have an original promo poster from Baby Pac which is the same as that sideart. I scanned it in and had a repro run about 25 years ago. My pink colors were off, but...

I have two Megatouch 6 machines now for 25+ years and still love them. I also installed the Megalink kit into them so you can play head-to-head against someone on a few games, which is fun! So, yeah. One may want two Megatouch games and enjoy it. I have had my two SMS poker machines also for...

I'm 56 now and have been out of the hobby since 2008. I threw my back out when I was bartending and it became a weak point for me. I threw it out one time just by bending over and getting a lid for a pot. Also, my best friend died in 2008 and he and I moved MANY games together and...

I had a Rockola 454 juke playing tunes when I had my basement arcade. It varied upon my mood and, well, beverage choice. Lol! On a weeknight, I rarely drank and when playing games, no music. On a weekend, blowing off steam, it would be some drinks, tunes, and games. For the weekend, it...

I was always a video game player as a teen and even when I was in this hobby and replayed a lot of games. I played some pinball and I noticed that it is much deeper than batting a ball around, and the rulesets are profound. I owned a few pins over the years and what I enjoyed was that unlike a...

Is that the same one that was there a good 20+ years ago? If so, that's the one I purchased an MCI The Safe from and I remember it was a nice arcade. They had a prototype Baby Pac Man there, if I remember correctly.

This one is blatant false advertising and the seller could get into a lot of trouble. It's clear that is not an Atari multigame arcade. Slap on a flashback console makes it arcade? And the games on there are not arcade but just ports.

And even new retro consoles. For example, the Atari 2600+ and the 7800+. Since the 2600+ came out about a year ago, cartridge prices have jumped a lot. That $.50 Adventure cartridge is now selling for $5+. An original Halloween cartridge would've been about $5-$10 years ago, and now it's...

Does it have an NVRAM? I have a Merit Pub Time Premier and at one point, the monitor displayed some odd characters and the games/prices were wonky. Replaced the NVRAM and all has been fine since.
