well, no drives were lost in the attempt. still looks off though. it said run for a minute then cool for 30. I may have erred on the side of caution.

I assumed it was but I also don't want to lay waste to a bunch of computers, especially ones that aren't mine.

the degaussing coil I bought arrived, and I was reading the instructions and it says not to use near magnetic media. however it doesn't give a number to specify what counts as "near". there are 4 computers within about 8 feet of the tube I need to degauss. moving all the machines would be a...

I grew up in Beaverton and am absolutely drawing a blank on a Rico's Pizza. Where was it? I remember Godfather's over by Beaverton Mall had games, there was a weird pizza place in the parking lot of washington square that had the water tubes in it, that didn't last too long. Then again virtually...

definitely interested

I ended up buying both. I restored a gutted converted robotron and put a jrok in it. i have swappable control panels for robotron, joust, and defender/stargate on it. I have the original control panels with new overlays, except joust because the joystics are impossible to find for less than...

someone sent me a link to an article about this kickstarter yesterday, and I checked it out. seems more about conspiracy theory rubbish than arcade stuff. plus I grew up in portland, and I tried to go to every goddamn arcade in the area when it opened up back then. Which arcade was this game...

well, I picked up a 3d printer and am still in the process of assembling it, but I've been 3d modeling professionally for over 20 years, so I'm hoping that combo will add up to something. the only concern is I've never made anything that actually required physical accuracy, though.

for the sake of thread completion and future searches, I replaced the cap, put it all back together and the monitor is working fine with a good solid picture.

the american one.

I'm watching that episode right now, and saw that, with those wretched stickers on it. I wonder how many people watching even knew what it was.

it doesn't look like fun. I assumed lots of pictures as i disconnect the 300 boards that comprise the monitor. I will be extra careful since i have no spare 20ez's. I had one but I gave it to a buddy of mine for his donkey kong.

laugh now, thats next. I picked up a donkey kong. monitor needs a cap kit. its waiting for this one to be finished. that one looks like a pain in the ass too.

I wish I'd kept all my old gaming magazines from back then. I think i threw them out in the late 90s

yea, I don't see anything else bad offhand. couldn't have picked a more annoying monitor to have to disassemble again.

seems I didn't double check my work and installed a cap the wrong way. powered it up, heard a "pfffffffff" sound then a puff of smoke. I replaced the cap, however I'm not feeling super confident about turning it back on yet. if it matters it was C608. its in the back rear right corner. whats...

count me in for one.

I ordered a spring from mike's arcade. the stick doesn't self center, it just sort of flops. every other part on it seems solid and tight, so i'm assuming its just the spring. got the cap kit from bob today. pulled the monitor out yesterday, and man, the screen is the filthiest I've seen up...

If I take the back seats out of my honda cr-v just about any average game will fit in there.

its plywood. first thing I checked was that it wasn't particle board and no water damage. I've never owned a nintendo cab before, but I've heard mostly bad things about the particle board ones, so i was hoping it wasn't one. I would have grabbed it anyway, of course.
