  1. Can two upright cabinets fit in a minivan?

    Yes. Yes they can. They just have to be Nintendo cabinets. -Ian
  2. Main site down... anything we can do to help?

    The notices at the top of the screen are a bit dire sounding - "Significant Hardware Failure" isn't good. What broke, and what is needed to fix it? Is there anything us members can do to help? Hopefully you have backups? :D -Ian
  3. Anyone have a CHD for Golden Tee 2005?

    Trying to fix a Golden Tee 2005 machine with a bad hard drive. The game boots but always crashes in exactly the same spot. Trying to copy the disk with a computer hits an error and dies after about 900 megabytes, consistently. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -Ian
  4. FS: Asteroids cabinet, near Albany, NY

    Anyone need a solid cabinet for a project? I've got an Asteroids cabinet that was painted black and converted to Track and Field at some point. The control panel was modified to mount joysticks (yes, Track and Field with joysticks, kind of stupid...) The cabinet is nice and solid, no water...
  5. Quiz & Dragons suicide battery patched ROMS?

    I've got a Quiz & Dragons board on the bench right now. It's a CPS-1 game that's suicided. The game plays but the graphics are hosed. Anyone got copies of the patched ROMs for this guy? Dead Battery Society doesn't have anything for this game. Perhaps that's because this game is so bad it's...
  6. K7000 low HV

    Well, I just rebuilt a K7000 chassis (from a 25" monitor) - had the typical cracked flyback, was "dead" when it was in the game - blank screen. Fuse was good. When I replaced the flyback, the HOT tested good, so I left it. Did all new caps and put a new fuse in (old one was corroded). Now, I'm...
  7. Sega Model 1 hardware reliability

    The machine in question is a Virtua Fighter. The game sort of works - but there is a problem with all the 3d graphics. When you first turn it on, you get some flashes of glitchy polygons, and after it warms up, all those go away, leaving you with no 3D stuff - just the 2D text, menus and...
  8. 25" K4900 chassis on 19" tube...

    I've got a 25" K4900 chassis I need to fix, but I don't have a tube or yoke for it. Can I plug it into a 19" tube/yoke for testing, or are the yoke impedences too different? -Ian
  9. Wanted: Z8 Microprocessor

    Specifically, I need the Z8 that accepts a piggyback EPROM. The "romless" version won't work for my application. Note that this is *not* a Z80 - which is a totally different (and much more common) part. Surely someone has to have one of these. -Ian
  10. Thinking about getting a soda machine for the game room

    Thinking about getting a soda machine for the game room This is one of those things I've wanted to get for a long time. I've actually got one - but it's an ancient one from the 60's that vends only glass bottles. Cool, but not the time period I remember, or am after. The machines I fondly...
  11. WTB: Electronic coin comparitor

    Looking for an electronic coin comparitor - the kind you put the "to be accepted" coin in the little holder, and it accepts only that coin. Just want one to play with - to see how they work. Anyone have one they'd let go cheap? Thanks! -Ian
  12. Coin mechanisms - unusual kinds, and the defeating thereof...

    Coin mechanisms - unusual kinds, and the defeating thereof... A previous post about nickel coin mechs got me thinking. I've seen lots of coin acceptors - nickel, dime, quarter, various tokens, Susan B Anthony, etc. But what about penny mechs? Did they ever exist? Aside from some really early...
  13. Looking for good scans of Gunsmoke artwork

    I'm piecing together a Gunsmoke machine. I have a working board, but no artwork. Does anyone have a good scan (or better yet, vector drawing) of the marquee and side art? This is going in a converted generic cabinet, with woodgrain sides, so I really only need the marquee, but any artwork I can...
  14. Quarters, tokens, freeplay or credit buttons? How do you coin up your games?

    Quarters, tokens, freeplay or credit buttons? How do you coin up your games? I know this topic has come up before, but it's been quite a while. How do you coin up your games? Do you feel that actually dropping in a coin is part of the experience, or do you just go for the convenience of...
  15. Galaga freeplay with attract mode for Midway machines?

    Galaga freeplay with attract mode for Midway machines? I've seen the freeplay with attract mode for Namco Galaga machines, but not for Midway. Is there one available? My friend has a Galaga machine that could use it. -Ian
  16. EPROM programmer options

    Yeah, I know, this thread has been done to death, but I need something specific. I already have an excellent EPROM programmer that does everything I could want... except 27c160's. Despite my best efforts in creating an adapter, I cannot get 27c160's to program reliably - at least, not the older...
  17. 27c160 EPROMs

    I'm really getting fed up with these EPROMs. I've wasted over an hour trying to get ONE more to program. I bought this batch from an eBay seller, along with some 27C322's. The 322's program fine, and previous 160's I have had programmed fine as well. But this batch I've only gotten three to...
  18. Basic monitor information - how to ask good questions. Read this first

    Basic monitor information - how to ask good questions. Read this first So, you've got a game with a monitor issue. Where to start? Start by finding out some basic information about your monitor, and about your problem. It's very hard for us to be useful when presented with the question "My Ms...
  19. Chase HQ steering wheel and shifter

    Anyone need a steering wheel and shifter from a Chase HQ? They're a little dirty, but both complete - removed from a really horribly damaged control panel. Movement looks fine, but I have no way to test the interface boards. -Ian
  20. Wanted: 14 tooth gear for Star Wars yoke

    Well, seeming as though it looks like RAM Controls is never going to get around to shipping parts, I guess we're back to scavenging used ones... Anyone got a 14 tooth gear (or suitable replacement) for a Star Wars yoke? I've repaired my friend Mike's Star Wars machine and everything works great...
