    Anyone use these cheap testers?

    https://voaty.com/products/lcr-meter-tester Saw a video of this, and it looked great. Been poking around and considering getting something like this. Same thing is on ebay for $25: https://ebay.us/m/Sp9IKV I’m been pleasantly surprised by some other super cheap chinese tech recently. Is it...

    Joust back door harness screws

    What is the correct length of the screws in the Joust back door that hold the white plastic harness loops, and the metal pcb plate? Mine seem a little too long and bulge through the backdoor slightly when tightened up. I don't think I had any shorter screws elsewhere on this game… maybe… Is...

    Longest without playing your games?

    Your own games in your own gameroom, specifically. I don’t think I’ve played any of mine since last fall. They’ve been powered on, but I haven’t played a game. This isn’t the first time, this happens from time to time especially over more than 2 decades. But it’s the most recent break for me.

    Frame/Canvas worthy gameroom pics

    I was at Hobby Lobby and I always check their classic arcade game swag. I noticed this canvas print that I found appealing. It looks to have mostly real games with minor art adjustments to obfuscate the titles. Clearly there’s a robo-Joust, Frogger, DK3, Missile Command, Hypersports, a Taito...

    WTB: Williams marquee light parts

    I'm looking for the light fixture parts that will fit on a Joust. Tube holders, transformer, known working FS-2 starter, wiring, working light tube if available.

    Pentranic/Makvision CH288 1425, 2425, 2427, 2432, 2435

    Apparently, all these are the same model. I bought a 25" EGA switchable as a Makvision but at some point determined it was a Pentranic 1425. I dug out the schematic, and the schematic says Makvision CH288 family, models 2425, 2427, 2432, 2435. I'm putting this out there because I have a HUO...

    K8000 gradual brightness increase

    So one of my k8000 EGA’s gets brighter after it’s been on for a few hours. So I adjust it so it’s a bit dark at the start, then looks right after it’s hot. Not ideal though. Does this symptom point to any type of failure in particular? Or should I just try a cap kit? I figure a cap kit is...

    Guide for adjusting colors

    I seem to remember seeing either a post here, or a page from a WG manual explaining the best way to adjust colors. Mostly I’m wondering how to use the RGB gain and cutoff controls and if I can get a little more contrast out of this monitor I’m adjusting now. Does anyone recall seeing a guide...

    The age of re-restores

    Anyone else getting to where you're restoring the same example of game, a second time? Or restore a game better than it was restored previously? I've noticed that the reproduction t-molding on one of my Nintendos is cracking. Also, my Nintendos don't have the nicer/more accurate reproduction...

    Midway cocktails with printed glass tops

    I started wondering if there's a good list of Midway cocktails that originally had printed glass tops vs. underlays. I'll start from memory, which I'll admit, is not very trustworthy any more. So... feel free to add or correct. PRINTED: Pac-Man: Printed on bottom Space Invaders: Printed on...

    SOLD - PARTS Over under coin door $60

    Over under style coin door. Coin controls brand. Decent but not great condition. No big dents or rust. It has been repainted on the front, but since then it has picked up a few chips. You can have the locks if you want them, if you don't, then I'll take them. No vault or plastic box, this...

    Sanyo, ugh!!! Wave (resolved: filter cap)

    Fired up all the games just to make sure they were still working while I worked on something else. And my DK's Sanyo has a brand new, major left to right wave!!! I mean, it's BAD… Grrrr…. Guess I'll be doing another cap kit soon.

    25" WG 5515 EGA lines at top / rollover

    I just recapped the Wells Gardner 5515 that's in my 720 degrees. I'm considering selling that game in the future, so I'm knocking out whatever improvements I can that are left. This monitor had never been capped, still had glue holding many of the caps in. My hope was that a cap kit would...

    Joust: graphic glitches, NVRAM/CMOS/battery, & switching power supplies

    My Joust is at it again. It has an nvram which might be part of the problem, or it could be something else. I saw this garbage on screen a couple of days ago. Also, sometimes when I turn it on it has an cmos settings restored error. My assumption is that whatever is causing the graphics...

    FS Game: Restored NBA Jam

    A local operator buddy has this for sale for $1700 in southern WV. I’d be happy to check it out in detail, if anyone is looking to travel far or ship it or what not and needs another set of eyes. It has all new artwork and a control panel (I don’t know if that means the wood, art, or controls...

    Rotate yoke slightly?

    One of my monitors seems to have the image just slightly rotated. Actually… two of them are like that! Any tips or gotchas with rotating the yoke slightly? I’m planning to do it with the game turned off, I’m not that brave and I realize it will take a while to get it just right.

    FT - Parts: WTB/WTT: Makvision/Pentranic 1425 CGA/EGA chassis?

    I have a HUO 25" tube that was a Makvision/Pentranic 25" EGA (switchable) monitor that I bought brand new. Unfortunately, the chassis failed not long after I bought it. I think I traded the chassis for a repair of some other broken chassis that I had. I have no other use for this tube. I'd...

    K7000 red wire - now: Width Caps

    Hey guys, I was changing out a width cap on a k7 I have. When putting things back, I noticed the red wire that runs along the side of the screen/focus black plastic piece is no longer attached to anything after leaving the top of that hunk of plastic. It has a white plastic piece on the end...
