Hello Everyone! After reading, lurking and learning as much as possible on this "killer" forum it is time for this noob to get his hands dirty!
I have acquired a few Nintendo games over the past few months as well as the parts needed to do a proper restore for each game. Props to Riptor, he was the first person I EVER bought something from over a forum! He was honest, pricing was fair and shipped quickly. I thanked him via PM and would like to do so again here. SO thanks again Riptor!
I'll post pics as I go and share any problems as well as successes.
I know I may get called a fanboy for Nintendo (and I am) but since this is my first attempt to restore, I figured I'd start with Nintendo games because the "guts" are pretty similar and I think it would be a good learning/starting point.
Below are some questions I have. Some are serious while others are not..
Q's: 1 monitor has some decent burns and 1 monitors blue gun is dead.
Is there a place to buy similar replacements?
How do you go about tube swapping?
How do you know what is compatible?
^^ Questions above are my main concern at this point. ^^
Q: How many games must you own before you can officially name your home arcade?
Q : I see a few Nintendo guys on the forum anyone want to take a noob under their wing for a bit?
Anyway wish me luck. If you have any answers/advice for the questions above, I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks to all ahead of time!
Mike
