Somehow when I was working on my DKjr, I changed the settings to 5 lives. Most of my games are still set to where they were when I bought them. Asteroids is set to 5 lives. Do you consider it cheating to have a game set easier than it was BITD at the arcade? I'm not talking about mods or...

I'm putting the finishing touches restoring DKjr this past weekend, including painting the coin door and replacing T molding. I put her on her back and started pounding in the T molding with a rubber mallet covered with a sock. Apparently, 35 year old electronics didn't like the roughness. When...

Sticking my toe in the water of pins. This is my first. It’s a Dealers Choice. I like the old school lights and sounds. It appears to be in good shape. It was shopped with new rubbers, lights, cleaned, etc. The playfield is in good condition and everything works. Hopefully I can keep it that...

I've been into arcade games for a few years now and can fix many of the common problems. So far, I have not branched out into pinball, but I'm looking to change that. Specifically the EM games. For those of you who started out in video and now have pinball, are they easier or harder to work on...

I am wiring up a coin door for a Defender and I need to know what some of these parts are. The wiring to the pcb does not exist, so I am building a wiring harness. What is this part? It has a red wire and a brown w/blue strip. Is one of those ground? What is this part? It has a...

I have a converted Defender and need to know if the following parts are original or not. Does the monitor plug into this outlet? If so, then this cord should not have been cut. I assume it originally came with a two prong plug? Is this service switch and volume pot original...

Has anyone reproduced these?

Does anyone spray poly with a HVLP sprayer? If so, what size tip? I wouldn't think that you could thin it. If anyone has some tips, I'd like to hear it.

Here's another Donkey Kong Jr. restoration. There seems to be a lot of them right now. I picked this up about 1 1/2 years ago and just have not had time for it. It's in decent shape. The cabinet is solid but has the typical wear and tear with no side art. The marquee and bezel are in very good...

How often do you check out a machine and come home empty. I went to take a look at this Popeye today. The picture does not show what rough shape the cabinet is in (particle board). The wind could blow this thing over like a card house. Suprisingly most of the parts looked to be in good or good...

In order to keep from hacking an original Defender control panel wiring harness, I need to build a short adapter. To do that, I need the male 10 pin connector that plugs into the original connector below. What is the item called that I am looking for and what size pins does it take? Bonus...

I'll use this thread to document my slow restoration of a Defender cab. Sorry to those of you reading this in real time as I don't have the time I would like to work on hobby projects. This one is going to get the JROK Multi-Williams board, for which I will have a few control panels. It is...

Suggestions and pictures? How deep do you route the contol panel? How do you mount the screws below the cpo?

I have a DK joystick that I can not figure out what is wrong with it. The problem is that it will not hit any of its 4 points. It's like the stick has dropped. If you lift up on the stick it will work fine (other than the fact that it is unplayable to be constantly lifting the stick. It has...

WTB: Nintendo Marquee Light Bar

WTB: Nintendo Joystick - DK Upright Style in good condition

Where do you get your crimp quick connects/disconnects, spade, ring connectors, etc. I'm having a hard time finding them in one place where they are easy to locate and purchase in a reasonable quantity (100). I find mouser and digikey impossible to use. They are difficult to search and locate...

How in the hell do you adjust this without playing HV roulette? :confused: I think I have the right tool, but the monitor neck is in the way and the high voltage cage is next to it.

A week after I brought an Asteroids home the monitor goes out and it plays blind. Looks like the 5A slow blow fuse at F101 is bad. Before I just stick another fuse in is there another part that I should look at that causes this fuse to blow?

Broke a resolution today. I told myself I would not buy any more games until I get ones I have running. Then I found this Asteroids. I have another resolution that I will never use the "g" word in a pickup thread, so I won't, but it is. This is the cleanest game I have ever bought and in great...
