Anyone here repair Tutankham PCBs? I have one I've been struggling with over the past year, and I know when it's time to give up. I am losing the "bitmap layer" of graphics and only seeing a star pattern background. I have good voltages across the PCB. The bottom board is the one that isn't...

Arcadeshop.com now has repro Wico joysticks, including the 4" model. http://www.arcadeshop.com/

I've started to go thought the boards in my Q*bert to clean them up and fix some of the minor issues I've found in it. Today I pulled my sound board to replace the caps and came across this odd hack. I'm guessing someone did this to replace an IC but I'm not familiar with the board. Any...

I put together a pretty cool ArcadeSD cabinet for a friend of mine using a trashed Defender. I thought some of you guys might want to see how it turned out. I'm going to be making another for myself this summer using a Stargate cabinet and a JROK board but I think after doing this one, I like...

My 12 year old daughter has been helping me build a FIFjr cabinet this past year. It's been great to do a project together! She loves the game and the movie and has always wanted to "make a game" like I do. We made the game out of a trashed DK cabinet that's already been converted to another...

I have a couple PCB sets left. These are fully working complete sets. I tested them both in my Joust. I was not able to test the Robotron controls since I only have a Joust cabinet, but the game booted properly and passed all tests. They also include the mounting plates, but I can remove...

I've officially been actively collecting arcade games for 20 years this past year. During that time I've met many of you personally and gotten to know even more of you "online" through KLOV and Facebook. I've also had a collecting blog for 15 years, that hopefully many of you have had a chance...

What's the going prices for working boardsets for the following games? I have a few sets that I'm planning on selling soon and I wanted to get a good idea what to ask for them. These would include sound pcbs with them. - Joust - Robotron - Bubbles - Sinistar Thanks!

I'm curious who got the Punch Out on Ebay this week in Osceola, IN. I made a couple low bids but didn't need another project. Just curious how it worked out for you. Also, I live in the area and wanted to meet if you're local. Thanks!

Does anyone here repair Vectrex units? I have one that doesn't work. When I bought it, it played but the screen would scramble after about 10 seconds. I saw whoever had it before me tried to do a cap kit and hacked it up pretty good. My last try to see if it worked failed. Just came up dead...

I picked up a converted Centuri cabinet last weekend that had Capcom Bowling in it. However I don't recognize the burn in on the monitor. Any ideas?

New trade thread: I got an Asteroids cocktail and an upright Space Invaders Deluxe with switchable multi that plays SI and SID. Osceola, IN. What do you got?

I'm working on my first artwork set design. I'm using Inkscape to make all vector artwork. I am trying to come up with a "kit" Arkanoid set that can be used on several different cabinets since this game is always in a conversion. I started with a bezel designed by Phetishboy, and I expanded...

I need a few misc CP parts. Used is fine with me. I know Mike's Arcade sells them but I'm hoping to find some used parts cheaper. I need: - 2x 4 way joystick restrictors - one Red button collar (the outside base of the button) - 4x CP clamp brackets I also need a full set of DK Jr buttons...

Been digging around KLOV looking for some good Arkanoid artwork for my latest pickup. Not a fan of the generic Romstar artwork. Also not a huge fan of the CPO Arcadeshop currently has. I like the art on it, but it's just too busy for a CPO in my opinion. Phet had some really great art he did...

I just picked up a Zaxxon cabinet with Arkanoid. I want an Arkanoid, but would prefer in a Taito or other smaller cabinet. Figured I'd offer this one up for trade to anyone who would actually want this type of cabinet for a restoration. It's in great shape too. Woodgrain still intact but no...

Well, I decided to try my luck swapping out a tube in a G07. Haven't been lucky enough to find a matching yoke so swapping in the old yoke too. I came across a really nice Samsung tube in an old Curtis Mathis TV. I used the rings from the new tube. Well long story short with everything...

I've had Time Pilot for a couple years now, and before that I've had a 48-in-1 for several years. For some stupid reason I've NEVER been able to get past all five levels. I've got to the final Boss UFO but never beat it. Once I crashed into it with my last ship even. Anyway after years of...

I just got a Slo-Gappa machine a few weeks ago. After repairing the coin mech and cracking into the locked Reset Switch housing, it worked great. I ended up adding volume controls to make it a normal volume. It was made in 2007 and has a really cool see-thru LCD monitor. The LED light show...

Anyone know where to start with this? It's an issue with the PCB. I tested a known working PCB in the cabinet and it didn't do this. I've already reseated all the chips, cleaned all connectors, and resoldered all connector pins. Done with all the easy stuff. Any suggestions would be greatly...
