Today I hacked together two Super Nintendo composite video cables to create one RGB cable. This has been done before but I figured I'd post it here for KLOV members that may not know about it. The SNES outputs RGB video without modification, but the A/V cable that most of us have only has...

I'd been meaning to get around to this for a while and finally did it today. I could have gone the external sync route but I wanted to do this just with parts I already had on hand. It was a pretty easy mod. I just soldered a 825 Ω resistor between the composite sync point on the PCB and pin...

Have y'all been watching this? It's a Kickstarter for a new Metroidvania game from Koji Igarashi. It's only been up a few days and they've already raised four times their initial goal. They're offering a physical copy of the game which is pretty sweet...

I've got a 27" K7500 from a Gauntlet: Dark Legacy that I think might have a bad tube. It's tube is a Zenith A68A6D01X and the neck has 10 pins. I've got a 27" Zenith model H2747DT TV with Zenith tube A68AEG25X07 that I thought might fit, but it has a nine-pin neck. Does anybody know what...

I'm working on a 27" Wells Gardner K7500 and I noticed that one of the legs of VR771 isn't attached. Should I solder it back or leave it as is?

It looks really similar to another certain series for the Neo Geo. I hope they figure out a way to introduce some new play mechanics. http://www.kraut-buster.com/

Y'all watch Classic Game Room? He mostly reviews console stuff but every once in a while he delivers a good arcade review. trGbETCWavs

Did RF Signals Really Look This Bad Back in the Day So I hooked my NES up to an old TV via the RF adaptor today for the first time in probably over 25 years. I don't remember it being this bad. The screen is covered in little different-colored specs. It's almost unplayable. Is something...

A while back, as I was dropping my gf off at uni, I noticed a cab sitting by the dumpster on the side of the engineering building. She was water-damaged and in pretty rough shape. She'd also been raped of all her best parts; marquee, bezel, cp, and PCB were all gone. Anyways, she still had...

It's my first time here and just played my first ever game of Tapper outside of MAME. First impression's pretty good.

Have any of y'all heard about this? Some vintage TV collectors got together and purchased thousands of dollars worth of CRT rebuilding equipment from companies that shut down. They're building a shop to set it up in so they can keep their old TVs running...

Ok, so it's not exactly arcade-related, but it is coin-op. I love how stereotypically New York this guy is. http://www.vice.com/vice-profiles/my-homie-sells-homies?utm_source=vicefbus

I have 19" Pentranic monitor. A sticker on the chassis identifies it as model # 1019. "CH-201" is printed on the PCB. About a year ago I started to install a cap kit. About halfway through I realized that the cap kit I purchased contained many of the wrong caps. I finally got back to it...

What was this Atari Hydra originally? http://houston.craigslist.org/vgm/4329268088.html

Has anybody used one of these cheap Ebay ESR meters? I don't see myself using one often enough to justify a nice $150 model. Would you be able to attach leads to this to test caps on the PCB...

Sony PVM-2030 Repeated Shut Down w/ High Pitch Whine I have a Sony PVM-2030 manufactured in 1989. The monitor emits a very high pitch whine. I have to be within a foot or two of the monitor to hear it. It seems to be just inside my audible range as it's barely detectable. When first turned...

What was this Ms. Pac Man Originally? Something fish related apparently. http://houston.craigslist.org/vgm/4183983558.html

So I picked up Phalanx for the SNES at the local retro gaming store today. If you haven't played it, it's an early horizontal shmup most famous for having an old dude with a banjo on the box. I know this is probably a longshot, but does anybody know where I could find a scanned copy of the manual?
