    Red Tent Red Powder Coat Questions: Part One

    Yeah, and the crazy thing is they originally gave me an estimate of $350 so it wound up even cheaper. I had a ton of stuff powdercoated by that shop over the years before they closed down. It was around that time, that I found my local guy, Doug, who's pretty awesome. The issue with a lot of the...

    Red Tent Red Powder Coat Questions: Part One

    I guess I'll be the voice to endorse powder coating then. Agreed, to each their own, but I fricking love my powder-coated Red Tent and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was a no-brainer for me, especially since mine was converted to a Neo Geo. Used a hammer/dolly set to get all of the major...

    New Project: Tetris Cabaret

    To add to the button confusion, Klax only uses one button yet the control layout is pretty much the same as Tetris, with the "flip/start" button(s) on both sides of each joystick. @CarrieZ has a Tetris PCB and we were planning on throwing a 2in1 switcher in her Klax cabaret (in which case, I'm...

    New Project: Tetris Cabaret

    Hey Shawn, I've been skimming through these 25 pages, trying to find out if you've ever had a full color picture in this cabinet. Just from the very quick perusing I did, from what I've gathered... 1) You've clearly tried multiple monitors all with some issue 2) You've tried multiple PCBs...

    Exidy Circus gets a little more color

    Thanks to @Phetishboy who tipped me off, I was able to obtain a very nice Circus bezel to replace the very faded original we had. (Also, thanks @Zarloffson for a very smooth transaction and great packing!). The difference between the two bezels is astonishing to say the least. Our original had...

    New Project: Tetris Cabaret

    Well, I'm not sure how you feel about Klax, but I love it. I enjoy it quite a bit more than Tetris and like playing with different strategies (i.e. trying to get through more levels or go for a bigger score, warping early on, etc.) The sounds & voices are great and the game ramps up rather...

    New Project: Tetris Cabaret

    This reminds me, I need to add the Tetris PCB and a switcher to @CarrieZ 's Klax. I frickin love that Klax cabaret. I typically play it at least once a week, usually on Fridays. Very easy to play 1 or 2 games and then stop. Coincidentally, I've got a Tetris in storage that I picked up from a...

    Nintendo Super System Restoration X2

    They had one of these at the local roller rink in the early 90s. I remember it had Super Mario World, Tennis and F-Zero. The giant controllers and bright 25" really made it memorable. My first game came from the owner of that roller rink, back in 2004 and I remember he still had this game there...

    Jaleco City Connection: Art pack and cab build - Arcade Icons

    Saw "Trog" at the top and got excited. Still a game on my wanted list. Love that game and the cabinet/art.

    Atari Vapor TRX (#2) pseudo restoration & cleanup

    This is our second Vapor TRX that @CarrieZ and I picked up, almost exactly one year after the first. Although the game worked, it turned into a bit more of a project than expected. Recorded a little 3-part vLOG of getting it into shape. We'll be bringing both to CAX next month. Cheers!

    New Project: Tetris Cabaret

    Meh no worries. Monitor picture will just look brighter and more crisp. Still a win. Plus, Tetris has a lot of black and with the colored block shapes, any burn will be almost non-existent.

    New Project: Tetris Cabaret

    Awesome. Looking forward to watching the progress, Shawn. I always tell @CarrieZ that she can never get rid of her Klax cabaret. I play that at least once a week (on average), usually on the weekends. Coincidentally, I have a Tetris in a dynamo cab that I bought way back in like 2006 from Ross...

    Yeti's Double Red Tent restoration

    Heh - no need to be nervous. The one good thing about having a project like that is that just about anything is a huge improvement! ;) You'll do great, I have no doubt! Thanks for the kind words.

    Yeti's Double Red Tent restoration

    Damn. That black painted one reminds me of what mine looked like when I got it. The thing had been all hacked up and half-ass converted to a Neo Geo. Naturally, nearly all of the guts were missing and there were hardly any original parts aside from the monitors.
