Hello all! I started getting into the arcade hobby about a decade ago, then various life-events happened, and now I'm back. I currentlyhave a few cabinets in need of refurbishment: Donkey Kong (w/ 60-in-1 and a poor-condition monitor...I got it cheap of CL years ago w/ as Arkanoid...

If this seller is able to trick someone into paying $750 for this, maybe they should be given some respect: http://denver.craigslist.org/vgm/4300401786.html Original Ad Text: I especially like how you can see what brand of monitor was used so you can easily replace it later...

A co-worker was having furnace issues. He had a company come out a couple times, but the diagnoses was "Replace Furnace" to the tune of $6000. I had my buddy describe his problems to me. It basically came down to things work fine for a while, but then all of the sudden furnace goes haywire...

http://cosprings.craigslist.org/vgm/3643793862.html There was an empty Gorgar cabinet for sale locally a couple months ago for really cheap...I wonder if this is what became of it.

One game I've wanted to purchase the PCB for is Hippodrome. In the VAPS entry it is listed as a standard resolution game: http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8118 Hippodrome is also essentially the same game as Fighting Fantasy. But, I noticed the VAPS entry for it has...

Why leaf switches? - Classic arcade feel for 80's games - Some people pre-load the button pressure and use the leaf's springiness to help with faster button pushes (e.g. Galaga) - No annoying click-click-click while playing About Rollie Leaf switches: - Great for wood control panels since...

Arcade Sighting - .38 Special "Caught Up In You" Video So I was watching some music videos the other day and noticed a few arcades appear in the "Caught Up In You" video by .38 Special. There's a few close-ups of someone playing Gorf, but there's also an Asteroids and Battlezone seen. A brief...

I was thinking about Journey the other day. I never played the game in the 80's - but I grew up in Nebraska so it was probably a rare arcade to find in the midwest. But, I did play a TON of Journey Escape on the Atari 2600. Such a simple game, but I loved hearing the riff from Don't Stop...

I recently ordered two PCBs from PrairieDillo was happy with my purchase. PCBs were extremely well packed for shipping. I would definitely buy from him again.

I'm troubleshooting an issue with no sounds in my Flash with a Type 1 Williams Sound Board. I know the amp-portion of the board is working fine - when I push the diagnostic button I get a sound. Should the Sound Board cycle through the sounds programmed in the ROM when pressing the...

So I was playing pinball last night, and I noticed that I was getting shocked due to an interesting situation. A bit of back story: I have been restoring a Flash, and I recently replaced the power cord with a brand new one because the old one was horribly spliced and was also missing the...

All I need now is a replacement MPU (planning on a Rottendog). When I bought this it was missing the driver board and half the displays. I have Rottendog displays in there now, and the current MPU comes on with double-solid LEDs, but I'm guessing that's due to no driver board being hooked up...

I'm starting on my first pinball restore (Williams Flash), and I was curious what people consider the best practice is when removing electronic items from the playfield for cleaning/refurbishment. I'm talking about stuff like drop-targets and pop-bumpers. Do you normally just de-solder and...

Does anyone know what this cabinet is from or if it is a custom-build? I thought I had seen this style of cabinet on another real game before but I can't figure out where. Here's the original CL ad, but I've also attached pics: http://denver.craigslist.org/vgm/2986396807.html Thanks!
