    Billabs BL25C90T no picture

    I bought this a year ago, it was supposedly working but the power connector had been snapped off. So the other day I get around to finally playing with it and wire up power. I'm not getting any picture, but I do have a loud buzzing and what appears to be arcing in the tube? I cleaned the anode...

    Science Magazine arcade article from March 1981

    Shootout at the Penny Arcade It was ripped (pretty carefully) from the magazine binding and scanned, so it's not perfect, but all the text and images are there. I hadn't seen this scanned and posted previously, so enjoy!

    Vectrex monitor issues

    I just did a cap kit on a Vectrex I got recently. The picture was solid before (so I should have left well enough alone!), but I wanted to do a cap kit just on principle because of the age of the machine. The display is good, in that the vectors are bright and look clean, but the geometry is all...

    TV Tube Swaps

    Is there a list somewhere of specific models of TVs to be on the lookout for? I know the tubes aren't necessarily the same within a specific brand or whatever, but what should I be looking for vs avoiding if I'm trying to find good tubes for a swap? As I post this I see there's a thread about...

    Cabinet ID

    I have what appears to be a generic or bootleg take on the KOAM z-back cabinet. It matches the cabinet in this youtube video: bhSpx-aePVY The cabinet is nice and easy to work with (although taking the marquee out is a bit tight), I just wondered if anyone knew who the manufacturer was or if...

    CPS1 Questions

    I have a few CPS1 boards, and I'm trying to figure something out. Are all CPS1 A boards compatible with all B/C boards? I have a Final Fight stack that works, but I get weird flickering in white areas of the screen. Totally playable and not that distracting, so I haven't bothered to dig into it...

    High Speed broken hideout switch

    I have been working on and collecting parts for further work on my first pin for a few weeks now. One problem I've run into is that I manged to break a previously-working switch, one of the two in the right hideout. Marco has the part listed, but naturally it's out of stock. The switch itself...

    Arkanoid spinner replacement question

    I'm building an Arkanoid cocktail, and I'd rather not break the bank buying two original spinners that may not even be in the greatest shape. Two of the replacement types (with the offset divot on top of the spinner) wouldn't be that much cheaper from what I've seen either. So I'm looking at...

    MMAO - Parts: Egg Venture with Deltronic ticket dispenser

    Egg Venture parts have been sold, the ticket dispenser stuff is still available. I have a working Egg Venture pcb that includes an audio amp and the manual. I had the marquee, but it was really yellowed and even with careful handling, it shattered. :( No way it would have survived shipping...

    Hantarex 9110 issues (flyback?)

    I've got a 25" Hantarex 9110 that I can't seem to get adjusted correctly. The geometry looks good (or at any rate close enough for me :p), and none of the colors appears to be abnormally dark compared to the others. I did a cap kit, but I can't get the picture bright enough without either...

    FS Parts: Neo Geo MVS carts ALL SOLD

    I'm looking to sell off some of my MVS carts. I just got a multi-cart, and if I'm being honest with myself I wasn't really playing most of them anyway. All of them are legit PCBs except Puzzle Bobble. They're definitely 'player' condition with scratches and dings, with the exception of the KOF...

    I'm headed to Game Galaxy tomorrow afternoon, any Nashville people around?

    I'm headed to Game Galaxy tomorrow afternoon, any Nashville people around? I'll probably be there around mid-afternoon or so, bringing some friends to play some pinball! Kinda last minute, but if anyone was planning on being there anyway, I'll be wearing a blue Sega shirt.

    "Make me an offer"

    If you're going to sell something but don't know the value, be sure to include the acronym 'MMAO' in the thread title. Many buyers would prefer to avoid these scenarios, while others don't mind. This will alert buyers about the pricing. These forums are not an auction house and allowing MMAO...

    More PSP questions...

    I bought my PSP 1000 used, and while it works just fine, you can tell it's used. I'm looking to replace the analog stick, since it seems a little off, sometimes it will 'jump' instead of moving smoothly. I'm also looking to get a colored shell, I'm thinking either the yellow or the turquoise...

    I just had two really good session with Medieval Madness

    I just had two really good session with Medieval Madness And I am completely reinvigorated for the rest of the day! :D The first game was around 20 million, and the second was 34 million, just below my all-time best. The scores may not be that great for 'pro' players, but I'm happy. I...

    Book about Atari 2600 hardware

    A bit old, but I don't think it's been posted before. Some interesting discussion about the hardware and how it affected the design of the games. Pretty nifty, I may have to pick this up!
