Arcade Repair Day - Northern VA (June 11th?)

[DogP]

Just a quick reminder bump... repair day - Saturday June 11th, starting at 11AM in Manassas Park, VA. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and it won't be too hot or rainy.

Bring whatever you want to work on... if you post or msg me what you're planning on bringing, I can try to have needed tools/materials available, or tell you what else we'll need to be able to test it.

PM me if you need my address.

I'm 99% sure I'm coming, and will be bringing 2-3 monitors that have some issues. At least 2 of them do nothing when given power.

 

[DogP]

Cool... do you know the model of the monitors? It's nice to know so I can have flowcharts, schematics, etc already printed out to speed things up.

Still planning on being there. How much stuff is being brought up? I didn't want to bring up too much.

I know for sure I am bringing up a dead G07 (With a Bob Roberts deluxe kit) and an unknown working condition B&K 470. Would be great to learn more about running a rejuv, of course only problem is I do not have a CR23 adapter.

I've got other things I could bring as well.

Also if anyone is interested in seeing it in person I can bring up my Aoyue 474A+ desoldering station in case anyone wants to buy a cheap station but would like to see one in person first.

Well, I can't make it, it turns out I have 3 other things coming up on the 11th. Have fun everyone!

I believe this thread has everything that people are bringing... there will probably be quite a bit of stuff to do... of course we'll just have to do our best to get to as much as possible. Feel free to bring more, if it's not too much of a hassle to load into your vehicle, knowing that we might not have time to look at it.

BTW, I have a BK470 w/ CR23, so you can borrow the adapter to test your rejuv. Also, I have a desoldering station out there, though you're welcome to bring one as well.

I am still planning to be there, if my kids sitter actually comes through unlike last weekend. I will probably bring a mega touch that I am trying to repair for this guy, as part of a deal to get a pin from him for a good price... I have not seen it but it sounds like a Maxx(big and green) and he says it loads to dos mode? I would guess a it's a failed hard drive but I will seek second opinions. If anyone has an image for one of these drives and can burn it to dvd, or you have an extra hd lmk, and this one wont take long... Also, someone gave me a free Zenith 19vmLP22, that does not work. If we have time i would like to determine if it's worth fixing.

What kind of food etc should we bring?

I'm not 100% sure I'm going to bring anything after all. I kind of wanted to get cap kits and stuff and it's a little last minute. Probably will still come down and learn off of other's items, plus its fun to hang out at these things.

I'm still trying to make it out...my wife has a wedding to attend in the afternoon so I'm not sure I can pull it off. If I do come I'm bringing my space invaders machine to troubleshoot.

 

[DogP]

Bring however much of anything or nothing. I figured on ordering pizza, or maybe making a run for Chick-Fil-A, but I was planning on just playing it by ear... so if you guys bring a bunch of food and everyone wants to share, we can adjust how much stuff to order, or order nothing at all. I'm guessing some may eat before showing up as well.

I'd say if you're bringing something, just bring lunch/snack kinda foods. There should be plenty of soda here.

I have some odds and ends to take care of down here in RVA so I am going to have to bail today. Catch you guys next time.

Well I had a great time today. It was nice to meet everyone. I got two monitors fixed! One was a G07 which I probably would have fixed anyways when I did a cap kit but thanks to DogP I found out what specifically was causing the problem.

My Matsushita that was in my Centipede works perfectly my horizontal hold was just completely out of whack I had the damnedest time trying to find the H-Hold POT... it was nice and crusty so now I can put the original monitor back in my Centipede!

I learned how to use a B&K 470 Rejuvanator, now I need to get mine working.

Oh and now that my G07 is working 100% I discovered my Joust is playing fine minus the sound!!

Thanks for having us over Dogp and for the food, it was lots of fun.

 

[DogP]

Thanks to everyone for coming out... I had a great time hanging out, and overall, I think we had a pretty productive day!
