Nice little row or two there Nick, I hope I find a clean Space Zap again one day, such a simple yet challenging game.

After some trial and error I worked out the ideal Size for toys and shells to go in the claw machine. Thanks to Temu it wasn’t too expensive to load it all up for the kiddos.

Testing a g07 after a retube before it goes in the Bubbles cabinet. I found a heat sink and transistors on eBay so I will need to wait for that to arrive. Also I need to pin heavier gauge wire for that transformer header. I only had 20awg which I think is going to be way too light.

A big milestone achieved today. The ceiling is done in the arcade. Very happy with the huge difference it makes to the room. It has also added a noticeable amount of sound deadening which is a nice bonus.

New power cable to the transformer block and a 15 pin header. I’ll need to use my Robotron block as a guide for the wiring on the output side. I also need to find a transistor heatsink to finish up all the power components.

Some good progress today. Happy with the way it’s going despite some of the bumps.

Coin door all cleaned up.

Now I have to deal with my power brick that i picked up cheap on eBay. The harness has been hacked off the top of the transformer and the power cord is missing. Looks like I have some repair work to do to this one.

Now I can put the boards in and start threading the new harness. The orientation of the sound board is rotated but it's not causing any issues that I can see Next hurdle is the power board. That didn't come with the set but I did have a spare, unfortunately it's not going to mount directly...

Now the wiring harness has arrived I can move this along a bit more. First hurdle is the mounting plate that my Bubbles board set came on. It was attached to a single Defender mounting plate which is of course not going to fit as is, so I had to chop it. The dimensions are a little larger...

I'm surprised that you are unloading this so soon after acquiring it, but it happens. Location also plays a factor in values, if you live near a higher population density area you'll find more potential buyers and higher prices. If this came up for grabs in my area in such good condition I'd...

Bump

Yep I'm currently looking for a second Astro City. Someone recommended KC up in LA as he is always moving candy cabs. I'm not sure what happened but he seemed kinda off over text (perhaps just a language barrier) but when I refused to pay him $2400 using Zelle (zero buyer protection) for a cab...

thanks. Yeah I have a few 3D printers so at some point I can print one of those cases. Too many projects not enough time as usual.

My Gyruss has been down for a bit so it’s my first opportunity for a real world test of my emergency Pi-to-Jamma rescue kit. I got a converter from PCBJunkie and added it to my Jamma pi board. Loaded the Gyruss rom onto the system and set it to auto boot. The cab behaves like it has the...

Today I installed the Darksoft multi kit for the Deco cassette system. It’s a two piece kit, a drop-in bios rom replacement and a daughter board that plugs into the main boards using the security dongle header. I was surprised there doesn’t seem to be free play options in this kit, I do...

Thanks Mart. Yep I already reached out and got on the list for next year for my Outrun, Afterburner and Space Harrier.

CL and other local classifieds are certainly full of.....interesting people with interesting trade ideas at times. What are the stranger things you've been offered in trade for a game you've listed for sale? for me, a Jetski, a drone and a dirtbike have been some of the more eye-opening items.

I don't really have any edge issues as my rugs are 16ft long so they just run the length of the row.

They were more common in the bowling alley arcades. The one small arcade we had in town was more of a snack shop with arcade machines and lots of windows as it was by the River which was pretty touristy
