    Laminate on a Galaga - Thoughts?

    Currently converting a beat Ms. Pac cab into a Galaga and am wondering if black matte laminate would be a good option rather than the extreme sanding/priming/repainting as the weather turns colder. Has anyone else used laminate for their Galaga restoration/conversion? Any cons of going this route?

    Arcade: casters and cabinet leveling

    Aside from those found at Home Depot and Lowes, I've also used these particular ones from Amazon a few times and they have performed well (non-marring, stand up well to cabinet weight, smooth movement, etc): Direct Link

    Replacement Leaf Buttons Have Annoying Spring Crunch/Pop on Full Press

    Unsure if this has been covered elsewhere, but I've noticed replacement leaf buttons from multiple vendors suffer an oddity wherein the button has a discernable crunch/pop of the spring when fully pressed that does not seem to exist on original buttons. It is as if the spring collapses on itself...

    Pac/Jr. Pac/Ms. Pac Amalgamation Restoration & Conversion to Pac-Man Plus (Pac-Man #6599)

    Should definitely invest in a flush trim router bit before doing anything else! :p Looks like you are almost there, though. You could fill in the cutaway on the front and apply a new sheet of laminate to cover the mistake if it bothers you also.

    New Project: Tetris Cabaret

    Could the Tatung be a VGA-scan monitor? If so it is likely expecting a 31 kHz signal with separate H/V sync. May be causing the stretching/sync issue you are seeing.

    New Project: Tetris Cabaret

    As you don't have a replacement pot in spec, could you desolder one of the known working red/blue pots and swap it with the green? This would at least eliminate the assumed non-working green pot itself as the culprit. I.E. if you swap it with the red and suddenly have green but no red, you'll...

    Klax - No Video

    All is good after replacement of the corroded resistors at R102 and R91. :)

    Klax - No Video

    I think I may have found the issue. There are a few corroded resistors which I believe contribute to video sync in this area of the circuit. I'll order replacements and see if this fixes it. 🤞 Also noticed capacitors in part of the audio circuitry appear corroded/crusty despite audio working...

    Klax - No Video

    Recently picked up a KLAX PCB to install in my Tetris cabinet. The board plays blind as expected but I'm hitting a wall with video. Is there something special I need to do with this particular PCB to get it to work properly? The cabinet has a WG 19K7610 monitor installed and I have tried all...

    Scramble Restoration

    Definitely need to order a Stern sticker and replace the blown bulb in the coin door. Stern cabs are just awkwardly shaped enough to make them a pain to tilt and move for sure. 100%!!! They must have also used the cheapest plywood available...I had a laugh at all of the football-shaped patches...

    Scramble Restoration

    I always kick myself for not taking progress photos during a restore, and this one was another undertaking in retrospect that I wish I had properly documented with repair photos. Listed as non-working on FB marketplace for $200. In it's former life, it was a Super Cobra, but had been converted...

    Unsure if you've already seen them, but Mike puts out some incredible videos on potential failpoints of various monitors. His videos have helped me diagnose and correct several monitor issues over the years. A link to his G07-specific videos...

    Source for CRT Monitor Bezels?

    Anyone have a suggested source for replacement black plastic CRT monitor bezels that fit between the art bezel and the monitor? I have both a Ms. Pac-Man and a Moon Patrol that are missing their monitor bezel. The only ones I can find are those designed for LCD monitors like the one pictured...
