I thought it might be fun (and only slightly humiliating) to start filming my repairs and restoration projects. The first few videos are up on YouTube now at Overtime Arcade: https://www.youtube.com/@overtimearcade

I'd truly appreciate any feedback you'd all care to share — good, bad, or otherwise — either here or in comments on my channel. I'm no expert when it comes to fixing arcade machines, nor would I ever claim to be. But hopefully these videos can help demonstrate the basics of arcade game collecting and preservation to people who are new to the hobby, and the real experts can chime in to help correct any mistakes I make.

I'm also still just learning how to shoot and edit videos. I used to review cigars on YouTube, but that was quite a few years ago and things have changed a lot since then. So please don't hesitate to make any suggestions on how I can improve the quality of my videos. I've already ordered a new microphone setup to help address some issues with audio consistency. I don't plan on going crazy with production values, but I'd like to make these videos as entertaining and informative as possible.

Thanks!

Subscribed, I love watching them as much as making them.
I want to thank you once again I'm super happy it's been a few years but your video on saving Red Baron helped me to save mine. Out of all the videos and all the content out there it's definitely one of my favorite series and most memorable repair video.
 
Subbed! Thanks for the hard work putting these together. Make sure to pace yourself when you feel the pressure, so you don't burn out. We've unfortunately seen it happen too much in this hobby. Remember that you don't owe anybody anything.
 
Subscribed.. you've already won me over with your description of how Tempest relates to a certain kind of relationship. It's exactly like that. The DKJR cocktail is beautiful as well, the music on each level is unforgettable.

Oh, and by the way.. production value is definitely overrated, yes. I like that you're sharing the whole experience with each game as it unfolds, the content value lies somewhere between the start and finish for me.

All the best with the new channel!
 
cool, i love repair vids. i find that watching them nonstop, even ones for games I don't own is extremely beneficial. Many times I will be working on something and then think back wait, didn't I see this before? Then it's a challenge to remember which video and where, but nonetheless it's a shortcut to getting stuff fixed.
