Oh.. Hello! As per above comments, do most of the games play well, I don't mind if a few are stinkers (maybe could just delete them from the menu?) but I need a good assortment of proper running games, then this would be the cat's meow 🐈‍⬛ Edit: off to DM, I'll talk to you over there. Edit #2...

Thank you Wade, watching some reviews it does seem these things have lots of glitches, really hard to get all the games behaving well w/ a single set of controls. I have some other great multi-game things (48-in-1 jamma, JROK defender) that work great but seems not so much w/ the drivers...

Hi all, here's a great Atari vector that has been nothing but excellent for the many years I've owned it. Original Space Duel cabinet and all 3 boards and control panels, Gravitar is currently installed and shown here, but the others worked perfect last I played them. Ideally I would trade...

I don't have the monitor anymore, at all. Sad story :( just need to move on, replace it with a modern screen. Hope this comes about.

Hi all, thought I'd bump an old thread, does anyone know if this project is still a go? My poor old Tempest still sits there dead and abandoned, would be really great to see it rise from the ashes.

Glad to read this, hope these become available. Sick & tired of my vector monitors breaking, and next to impossible to find anyone who can fix them. This is a great service to all of us w/ old vector games that still play, but let's face it, those monitors, beautiful as they are when they...

Hi there, was sent here by the NEACF board, wonder if you could give my Asteroids cocktail a once-over. It plays fine but buzzes, smells a bit like something burning, and screen brightness wavers bright/dim. I live in Portsmouth, house call would be great though I maybe could deliver if I...

Thank you all - all my other Ataris have always come back to life w/ nice easy stuff like new fuses, re-seats, or "big blues". This one, sounds like I'll have to take the next step - cap tester tool, soldering iron, cap kits - was hoping to avoid all that but I guess it's the price you pay to...

Reset connector to board multiple times.. Must be something in that "middle" board.. right?

Hi guys, Newbie repair attempt here, have mercy :) Tempest used to play perfect, now the marquee & screen get power, but no power to the board. I watched this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1pVTzEF3ZA And all the voltages seem close, Pins 1/2/3 + 4/5 = 10VDC Pins 7 + 6 = 37 Pins 10 +...

Got it! I know the culprit - my nephews were playing the game, they are "little imps" and they must have gone into Setup and messed up all my settings. I turned all the items back on, including 1P/2P for menu, & we're good to go. Thank you!

Aha - that's the thing, "SETUP" has disappeared from the menu along w/ the other 4 games. Any other way to get into setup?

Thank you for the reply. Before I start, would a 2P button problem explain the list of games being cut in half, as in Robotron/Joust/Bubbles etc aren't even on the menu?

Hi all, this occurred suddenly, wonder if the group any ideas? Nice JROK 8-in-1, defender/robotron/joust/all that stuff, suddenly: 1) Only 4 games come up, as shown, used to be 8 2) Hitting both 1P/2P does not bring up the main menu like it used to 3) 2P never works, can only play the 4...

Many thanks folks, I joined up at NEACF, looks like a great site. Here's my intro: http://neacf.com/mb/index.php?topic=3837.0 What a great forum this is, I hate to abuse it by asking stuff like "so my Tempest is dead, how do I fix it" .. I get the sense i'll have to take the plunge & learn the...

Problems just keep cropping up, 1980-era electronics and all. I started buying these things assuming i could find someone to fix them, but since I can't the whole hobby is in jeopardy. Anyone wanna trade a working-last-month-but-not-now Tempest plus a working-but-buzzes-loudly Asteroids for a...

Hi all, my collection is acting up .. or not acting at all - dead tempest, Asteroids w/ power issues, JROK w/ bad monitor, that kind of thing. My regular tech (Sarah) seems no longer to make housecalls, anyone know of a local repair maven? Wish there was a sticky for this, I'm sure it would be...

Thanks all for the suggestions, but those all seem to be non-cabinet sized, with the separate seat taking up double the space. If anyone knows of a "Pac Man size" driver more modern than Outrun, pls let me know!

Hi all, i have 1 remaining slot in my arcade .. Loved Pole Position, Outrun, Turbo, etc back in the day, but now i want as modern and realistic as possible. Stopped keeping track of games after the 80's so basically I'm hoping for the modern version of those :) The more "driving simulator" the...

Hi all, weirdness w/ my Gravitar board, all the lines are slightly "off". Scores and words slant upwards from left to right, and the lines don't quite line up. Switched in a Space Duel board, and it looks fine, so its the Gravitar board, not the XY. Any ideas? TIA! -t
