    WTB Atari coin return buttons

    I'm looking for a set of red coin return buttons for an Atari Toobin'. The button assemblies should include the body of the buttons, the front faces, and the "25 cents" plastic insert tags. The fronts should be mostly free of scratches and cosmetic problems. Thanks!

    Thoughts on common failures and the design of games

    Thoughts on common failures and the design of games I thought I'd just throw this out here- The more I read here, the more I learn about some of the common failures of arcade games. It's interesting to consider that these games were built to withstand a commercial environment, and then think...

    Minumum needed to make a PCB playable

    I'm thinking out loud here, but probably someone has done this before. What are the minumum components needed to make a PCB playable? (for example, Gauntlet) - power supply - monitor with isolation transformer, if needed. - control panel with mininal buttons and joysticks - speaker Am I...

    1980's arcade memories?

    What memories do you have of arcades from the 1980's? (games, people, places, sights, sounds, smells, etc) My most fond memory is of a place called Funway Freeway in Westchase Mall in Houston in the early 1980's. The mall was new. I was probably 10 or 12 years old. The aracde was all black...

    WTB: Coin Acceptor

    I'm in need of a plastic or metal coin acceptor to fully restore my Toobin'. Ideally I can get a gold-tone metal unit to match the one that came with the machine. Certainly someone has a pile of these sitting around? Here's one that is similar...

    Alternatives to original CRT monitors?

    Certainly this has been discussed before, but I didn't see anything in a search: In looking through the documentation for my WG K7000 series monitor, it looks like it accepts a basic input of R, G, B, plus horizontal and vertical positive and negative. Certainly it wouldn't be hard to convert...

    19" WG raster monitor jumps left-right frequently

    19" WG raster monitor jumps left-right frequently I have a Toobin' with a 19" medium res WG monitor in it. I think it's a Wells-Gardner model 19K7935. Atari part number 139012-304. The image jumps slightly left or right every few seconds and then re-centers itself. Tee image jumps maybe 1/8 of...

    Is there a guide to condition ratings? (B+, A, etc)

    Is there a guide to condition ratings? (B+, A, etc) Is there a page that has a guide to the video game condition ratings? (A, A+, B, B+, etc..) For example, what defines a B- game versus a C+ game? Thanks!

    Toobin' restore project

    I picked up a Toobin' that works but needs some cosmetic help. I have never restored a game to the extent that this one needs, so I'm seeking some input as I plan the project. I will post photos this evening. The cabinet was painted with a glossy black everywhere except the large side decals...
