I'm not super electrical savvy. I'm replacing the power cord on a space invaders cocktail. Can you please tell me what color wire connects to each labeled number connection? 1, 2, 3. Green, white, black. I don't want to mess anything up.
Thanks,
Hi everyone,
I'm building a couple cocktail style arcades out of barrels. What recommendations do people have for LCDs that have good visibility from multiple angles? Basically what LCD would work best for looking top down?
Thanks,
I have some original CRT arcades that I want to keep as original as possible. Especially the CRT. They have high quality CRTs that I want to keep in good condition. I've heard two train of thoughts: 1. Leave your games on 24/7 will maintain the picture quality and such. 2. Turn your games...
I got you. This is the wrong crowd for what I'm going for with this specific build. Dually noted and will be taken into consideration for future posts.
If it makes anyone feel better, this game was already converted to a PC emulator with a PC monitor and about 30 buttons on the control...
Totally agree and thanks for your input. If I'm restoring something for my basement, then I like to keep it original. But if I have a location with limited space that doesn't want CRTs for energy consumption and amperage draw, then I will accommodate them. Especially when I have a cab without...
Hi Everyone,
My current project is fixing up a Gauntlet cab for a location that really enjoys flashy lights and LCD. (I know it isn't the purest route with CRT and original parts, which I prefer, but the location loves bright shit that gets young player's coin drop.) I'm installing unico lcd...
I have a 2009 silver strike bowling that the monitor was parted out to another machine. This will be my first LCD conversion. Any recommendations on LCDs and conversion boards? (Links would be helpful.)
Also if there are any tips and tricks, I would welcome those as well.
Thank you!
Daniel
Thank you @curtislv426 This is a good suggestion and nice learning opportunity for me. Unfortunately, no luck trouble shooting with the pin cushion adjustment. It looks like I'm going to recap it and see if that fixes the issue. Peter at Arcadepartsandrepair.com sent me a link to the correct...
Hi guys. Any input on how you typically fix the rounded corners. Does a recap usually take care of that?
Thanks
I'm just getting into the hobby of fixing games.
Hi everyone,
I have this Frankenstein Maximum Force/Area 51 that I've been working on. I bought it as it is and really haven't done anything but clean and shop it.
I have two questions:
1. The monitor is shrinking in on itself and has rounded corners. (See picture.) What causes this...

I pulled the chasey off and cleaned and reseeded the connectors and it worked! I love the feeling of an easy fix.
Thank you all for your help!
Yeah I'm pretty new to monitors and arcades in general. I've done one recap kit on a house of the dead. I was going to recap this one as well but can't figure out what chasis it is. I still have a lot to learn.
It sounds like the next thing to do is discharge the tube and then check all of...
Hi I was wondering if I could get some help with troubleshooting tips for a monitor issue. I have a maximum force/area 51 (conversion at some point). After picking it up, I vacuumed out the cabinet. The next time I tried to turn it on, I'm not getting any monitor imagine. As far as I can...
