We have the "Most Overrated" thread, but it's almost Christmas, so we should be cheerful and jolly. Given this, be positive! What game do you think is 100% worth the price of admission?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MWtUO2zerIwOPRBN0Cq2no3QJkPO_U2k/view?usp=sharing Zip contains 2 pdfs of the results, and all of the images of arcades from the auction.

I know there are reproduction colors out there, but I'd like to first try and get some originals going. Let me know if you have parts from a parted TMNT cabinet. Thanks!

https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/74810500 If I had room for this, I'd probably buy it. It's the resto job from hell, it's missing a lot of pieces, but it's pretty clearly an original Red Baron cockpit.

So, I never see these come up for sale. While I don't have the space quite yet, I'd eventually love to have one, but I only ever see the standard cabinet. Are they super rare? Also, for those in the know, can you put a switcher and a MAME board in, and play the rest of the HotD series? Is...

https://bidderbros.hibid.com/catalog/464829/estate-arcade--time-capsule--sale---new-braunfels-tx-78130 It's so bad, they're selling machines in lots of 4-6 at once. One lot even has two Star Wars cabs in it. This is almost like a weird warehouse raid/auction.

I have a crap ton of CRTs (mostly WG, 19" and 25", few vectors) that need some sort of repair. What's the idea setup for a test bench? Should I invest in a signal generator? How can I test vector monitors? What kind of parts kits do the hardcore repair techs keep on hand? Also, post pictures of...

Anyone with a sizeable arcade and sizeable social life throws arcade parties with non-gamers from time to time. What are the winners of the party? There's the obvious ones, like Warlords cocktails, and the not-so-obvious ones like Ice Cold Beer. Also, what are the losers? The dust collectors...

I bought a Galaxian cocktail that played blind. First step, I replaced the fuse holder to get 120VAC to the monitor. According to the previous owner, he'd capped the monitor, but needed to replace the flyback. Turns out it was a brand new flyback from arcadepartsandrepair.com. However, F901 and...

What's been done - New big blue Fully rebuilt AR2 (arcadeshop kit) Tested all voltages on AR2, all within range. Tinned every connector on main/aux board Monitor recapped but unplugged. I have a friend coming Friday who is good at doing chip swaps, I'll have them swap the sockets on the...

Arcade machines are beasts. They're not like trading cards, it takes some guys and a truck to haul 'em around. Unlike most collecting hobbies, location is way more important. Buying or trading a pokemon card or video game and having it shipped is trivial, but there's nothing trivial about...

Searching the forums for dedicated and street fighter 2 was a mess. I was unable to find this answer. Did they make a factory version of SF2:WW? Or were they all conversion kits?

So, I'm fixing up an Outrun, and apparently the RAM is the recent for PCM sound going out. It doesn't make much sense to me why a chip like RAM would burn out. I realize every arcade machine and every part is different. Caps got bad because the electrolytic dries out. Bottle cap transistors in...

I just got an Outrun with PCM sound missing, a typical problem. I'm going to start with this replacement, since it's a near identical problem. My original question was if 45ns RAM would work, but apparently it's tolerant up to 120ns based on another post. Twisty arcade is sold out of 25ns so I...

Inspired by @WadeLanham, Please start your post with a number that best represents you - 1. Downsizing. 2. Same-sizing (getting rid of a cabinet to make space for another) or not changing at all 3. Upsizing. There's definitely shades of gray between these, so pick a number that best represents...

Anyone have a decent priced Off Road along the West Coast? Thanks!

Seems like there's plenty of talk about stuff you want... but did you ever buy a game and go "man, this game sucks!" I realize you can usually sell games that you don't like, and plenty of people rotate stuff in and out of their collection. But maybe a game is hard to sell? It might also come...

I just picked up a Red Baron with ~12,000 plays. That'd be ~$3000 in income, split between the location and the cabinet owner, potentially. Didn't Atari originally charge more than $1500 for a cabinet? I was trying to find an 80s price list but failed. I'd be curious to know if my cabinet was...

Inflation is rearing it's ugly head, unemployment is projected to be increasing in the coming months, do you see the market slowing down, and cooling down? I was surprised to see some of the machines in the sales area, and how they haven't been scooped up at prices they're listed at. Hopefully...
