    CRT replacements for the future?

    Ran across this posting on another site and thought I'd share it. I'm not here as much as I used to be; apologies if someone else has already posted it here. https://hackaday.com/2025/09/23/the-impending-crt-display-revival-will-be-televised/

    Upright Spy Hunter replacement speakers

    I've forked this topic off from a side chat in Kaboom's cockpit SH restoration thread. Details came from here: https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/spy-hunter-cockpit-sit-down-restoration.543514/post-4948227 Summer goals accomplished, original speakers are swapped out with the ArcadeShop...

    FS Parts: Ebay: Spy Hunter weapons van button

    Not mine, just noticed this on Ebay while looking at something else. https://www.ebay.com/itm/146330254250 Looks freshly powder coated. I don't know anything more about it, but it does look very nice.

    Custom cut metal and bad search-fu

    Hi folks, I'd like to tap the collective brain power and search-fu of the KLOV collective. Sometime in the last 4 months or so, someone posted a link to a place that custom cuts metal provided that you give them the dimensions. I can't find that thread, but I know that one of you will...

    A different way to play arcade games

    I've been on KLOV now for more than 17 years and have never seen this discussed, and perhaps it is something that applies only to me, but I wanted to share something that never occurred to me before that has caused me to turn on my arcade and play the games much more often than in the past. I...

    Electrical question

    Hi folks, I just added a natural gas powered portable generator for my house (~8500 watts of continual power, peak is higher). It's enough to supply one of my central AC units, lights, fridge, and other things within reason. But it's not an inverter generator. It claims 5% THD but with big...

    Creating Q*BERT book

    Hi folks, This was brought up here a year or two ago by others, but I bought this book when it was released and it sat on my shelf until a week ago when I finally had the time to read it. This is a *really* interesting book that goes into a lot of detail about the times and what it was like to...

    G07 ceramic resistor mount options

    Hi folks, What are the best ways to mount the G07 ceramic resistor on the side? I have one that was missing its mount and my current solution works but there is likely a simpler and sturdier solution for mounting it that I'm not thinking of. Thanks!

    Prep surface for decal?

    Hi folks, I have a Gauntlet Legends that some idiot kid stuck gum on long ago followed by someone else that attempted to pick off the gum and decal, leaving a torn and damaged decal for the front of the cabinet. I'm not sure what else happened; there was thick adhesive and even bits of plywood...

    Stupid leg leveler question

    Hi folks, Just got a new game and is my usual practice, I took the leg levelers off that it came with and replaced them with some that have a slick plastic teflon coating on the bottom so I can slide the cabinet around if needed. This is a no-brainer activity usually; I just tilt the cabinet a...

    Gorf joystick question

    Hi folks, I now have a Gorf game with a joystick that works okay, but there's something wrong with it, wear perhaps? The joystick moves left right up and down just fine like it's supposed to and centers itself just fine, but I can rotate/turn the joystick itself maybe 15-20 degrees and I don't...

    Degaussing question

    Hi folks, I have a new game with obvious color purity issues. It's facing a different direction in the game room from my others (this one backs up to a window), so as a test, I'm going to turn it to face the same way as my others, but even then, it's obviously going to need to be degaussed...

    Safe speaker distance

    Hi folks, Getting a new game on Friday and it is being crammed into a room where I don't really have enough space for it. It'll be in the area of a full sized tower speaker for my home entertainment system. So, how much room do I need to keep between the speaker and my new game to avoid the...

    Spy Hunter world record

    I've been saying for at least 10-12 years that the Spy Hunter world record was impossible to accomplish w/o cheating. I've known for a very long time about a game bug that disables the game's two toughest adversaries, the torpedo boat and the enforcer (the limousine). Playing the game with the...

    Liquid Flux

    I did some desoldering/soldering on a Spy Hunter SSIO board tonight and used some of this liquid flux that I picked up years ago for the first time. Up until now I have been relying on the flux in my Kester solder but this liquid flux made it noticeably easier to desolder these 40 year old...

    Desoldering question

    Alright guys, I'm trying to desolder on my NBA Jam TE soundboard. I'm using my Hakko 808 and finding that it's tough to get these caps loose. I started with the 1.00 tip and it wasn't getting it out fully, so I switched to the 1.30 tip. It did a bit better but still not getting all of the...

    Soldering in cold temps

    Hi folks, It's COLD here in Texas and right about 32 outside. My garage is unheated but is in the low 50's at the moment. I'd like to do a cap kit on my NBA Jam TE sound board (22 caps, which will take me a long time) out in the garage. Any issues with soldering in temps in the low 50's when...

    .187 fully insulated male quick disconnects 22-18awg, why can't I find them?

    Anyone got an arcade source for these? I have the non-fully insulated versions, I can easily find what I want in .250, I can find them in .187 for thicker gauge wire, why can't I find an arcade source of these? I tried looking at Mouser, Bob Roberts, Arcade Parts and Repair, Twisted Quarter...

    Power cord question / Atari

    Hi folks, I just got a new game. It had the ground plug cut off and a pretty deep gash in the insulation (you can see a wire through the gash). So time for a new wire for the game. This is an Atari game where the wire goes through a plate in the back of the cabinet, through some kind of a...
