    WTB: MCR ATX Power Supply Adapters

    I am looking for (2) MCR ATX power supply adapters, the ones that are made by Mark Spaeth, for my Tron and Tapper machines. I have a bunch of old ATX power supplies sitting around so I'd rather not pay for an adapter PLUS an unneeded PS from Arcadeshop. Thanks! Chris

    WTB: Time Pilot Top Marquee Bracket

    I am looking for the top marquee bracket (for attaching the top of the marquee to the top of the cabinet) for a Time Pilot. This is the same bracket as found on Phoenix, Vanguard and all of the other Centuri, woodgrain cabinets Thanks! Chris

    ZVG Computer Specs

    I'm getting ready to start wiring up my ZVG cabinet and was wondering what kind of computer horsepower I need to make the games play at acceptable levels. I know the ZVG specs call for a PIII-800Mhz at a minimum. Well, I happen to have one of those sitting around! However, before I try and...

    Changing Joystick Colors

    Has anyone ever swapped out some of the standard red Wico joystick shafts for colors that are better suited to the artwork? I was looking at my Arabian machine today and thought that the red joystick looked very out of place since there is no red at all on the control panel or bezel. I think...

    Resetting High Scores on Berzerk/Frenzy ZZPU

    Does anyone know how to clear/reset the high scores on a Berzerk/Frenzy ZZPU board? I was having some board reset issues because of bad connectors and now the top score is 'F9090' which will be impossible to beat :) Thanks! Chris

    This Old Game T-Shirt of the Month Club 2012

    I was going through my shirt drawer and I seem to be missing a shirt from the 2012 run of TOG's T-Shirt of the Month Club. Does anyone have a list of the shirts that Rich produced since the web site no longer shows the page? Here is what I can find: Berzerk (Chicken Fight Like a Robot!)...

    Kudos to Rich @ This Old Game

    Hats off to Rich for being a great person. I received my Space Paranoids poster last month after the PO had used it for batting practice (see attached). I asked Rich if he would be willing to send me a replacement for cost plus shipping and he happily shipped another right away for only the cost...

    Anyone else having issues replying to posts and initiating PMs via Firefox? I first noticed this a few days ago but it's been a while since I've actually posted anything. I have the latest Firefox 3.5.7 and have cleared my cache. I get the following message when posting: Method Not Implemented...

    To Rebuild or Not to Rebuild

    Which linear power supplies are worth rebuilding? I just fixed a power issue in my Pengo by quickly wiring in a spare switcher but to repair the old PS would have required only a few parts and a few dollars. Are there any linears worth troubleshooting or is it more prudent to just replace them...

    Sega G-80 (Pengo) Power Supply

    I'm trying to get my Pengo up and running and I have determined there is a problem with the original G-80 power supply. Measuring +5 and +12 without the game board connected I get +5.1 and +11.98. All good. Hooking up the PCB drops the +5 to +1.9 and the +12 stays about the same. The PS...

    Which Games Came with a Sampo Monitor

    I cracked open a Hitachi TV (circa 1982) today and found a tube number that I couldn't locate in the B&K charts. So I googled the tube number (51YTB22) and came across this tube referenced in the Sampo KGR-190x manual. What arcade games used this Sampo monitor from the factory? I found some...

    Matsushita with Dim Tube

    I have a 19" Matsushita TM-201G with a dim tube. I know that this is a common issue with this monitor. The question is this: is the chassis decent to keep in terms of looking for a replacement tube or is that crap too? The neck has 10 pins but they are arranged differently (CR-30) than the...

    Baby Pac-Man Start Buttons

    Does any other Baby Pac owner have start buttons that look like this (see attached)? The pictures I see online all seem to have buttons that look like those on Omega Race (squat, metal cones with lighted center). I also have a different version of the sideart than the repros that Phoenix...

    Where to Buy Monitor Frames

    I have a lot of old TVs that I would like to convert to arcade monitors via the Wei-Ya chassis sold by 8liners. Is there somewhere I can buy metal universal mount frames (the barebones, open ones) to easily mount the TV tube and control boards? I've found several places to buy the complete...

    Did Europe Get Titles Before the US?

    I lived on Army bases in Germany and Belgium from May 1980 until July 1983 so US-styled arcades were rare for me and I got most of my exposure to games at bowling alleys and youth centers. While in Belgium, the youth center next to school always seemed to be rolling in the latest titles...
