Kevin from Cosmo-Logi said he can run the tests for you by Monday, he's not registered in this forum but he'll reach out through your website under the email [email protected]

Seen at an auction a few years ago, I genuinely have no idea if this was an official conversion kit or a really high effort operator special

They're not going to be back with tariffs, them going out of stock is a direct response to that

It seems like North American families nowadays view arcades as akin to carnival fairs and their prizes instead of a place to play video games. Interestingly enough, while growing up in Brazil the public perception on redemption games was very negative and to this day most arcades that stuck...

Tariffs have been pulled from US imports since September 1st. If your items are being shipped via Fedex or UPS they're most likely adding import handling fees as they've always done pre-tariffs. Contesting them takes way too long and savings are not worth the time spent on the back and forth, if...

Any 30" 16:10 LCD monitor (such as the Dell U3014) combined with a Gonbes GBS8200 running GBS Control. The monitor mentioned perfectly fills up the 4:3 viewable area of the glass bezel and can be easily mounted as the width with the monitor plastic casing is a perfect friction fit, the GBS...

They've posted a new update with upgraded specs and a shipping timeline for buyers on their website: Very happy to see the option of 4K panels now, I can definitely see shaders working out on games really well and a potential larger customer base with computer users wanting a modern 4:3...

To clear things up - The Unico ULM26 has a panel resolution of 1024x768 and will always fill the whole screen regardless of resolution/aspect ratio input. There's a Pro model being made for the Nova Blast candy cabs with a higher 1600x1200 panel resolution but it's unsure if those will ever be...

Custom silicon chips also have a shelf life and operating them only further degrades a PCB. What is your definition of preservation in the context of arcade games and their purpose?

If Captain's can ship those games then someone outside of America is buying them. Last year there was an auction in Canada where allegedly a big chunk of games ended up being exported to the Middle East... Common stuff that was simultaneously up on FB Marketplace for cheap prices went over $2k...

Late 90s/early 2000s Konami and Namco boards with all of their custom ICs failing. If you're determined to keep a game going it's not too terrible dropping in a PC, rewiring the essential controls and running it with MAME if currently emulated properly. The modern day replacement for those...

If you're utilizing a barebones distro install with only X.Org installed you can utilize the .xinitrc file located in your user's home folder to initialize programs automatically as the X server comes up.

That scares me the most in the near future isn't running out of CRT monitors, but running out of new parts to fix them... As an example, we recently had to unfortunately dispose of a few monitors while doing a cleanup at the arcade due to their yokes becoming burnt and corroded, the chassis were...

The only other application that I've seen with these type of 4:3 panels are commercial advertisement displays (a company in China even makes a 46.6" panel) but it's not exactly a popular thing either. I'm aware of some medical equipment that still utilizes 4:3 screens between the 15" - 20"...

Aaand a 29.3" is now announced: Everything is cheap from China as long as 1. several big customers are funding an entire manufacturing plant and 2. they are proper consumer products. New flybacks shouldn't cost double digits considering they're just wire coils and passive components, right? ;)

IPS panels with 1600x1200 max resolution (enough for pixel perfect scaling and shaders), 15/24/31KHz input, allegedly will support video signal flipping/mirroring and a 27.5" panel might be coming next for candy cabs as well. Good to see some competition towards Unico, hopefully the bar on...

Thread's been a long shitshow - surprised that no moderators have locked it yet and issues moved to the Feedback portion of the forum

Accidentally touched the wire terminals of a deflection yoke while adjusting it with gloves and the monitor on... Was a mild tingling sensation but a scary one at that. Also was once extremely frustrated with replacing a cheat sensor in a Down the Clown redemption game and ended up cutting the...
