after 4+ years, I was finally able to complete the elusive back door lock assembly on my Taito cab. Its a miracle!
found a lock at home depot. still looking for the proper rod brackets, but these work fine for now

 

[phurst]

Added a skill stop button to my coin pusher. A feature glaringly missing from an otherwise pretty good small HUO machine.

Today was a bit chaotic but good...

Consolidated games in Arcade Level 1 to make them more accessible.

Began to move Jungle King/EA to Arcade Level 2 to be reunited with my Taito QIX cab.

Got my Millipede into a good home to make room for Moon Patrol this past weekend. This morning I finished prepping a BF tube for my Super Pac running an ArcadeSD board. The pac screen burn on games like 1942 and tapper will finally be gone.

 

[DrewZ]

Got a great start on bringing back Rally X

 

[rlsharp1]

Not a damn thing since moving 5 weeks ago. Almost got my test bench back together though to begin fixing or screwing stuff up. Haha.

 

[edelgiud]

Lazy Summer fart that I am - just thinking about ice cream and a couple of beers. Still neglected my donkey Kong Jr socket repair that I need to get done. Oh well.

 

[bakerhillpins]

Tuning up a G07-CBO so I can test a repro flyback.

 

[Zud]

I played my first game in over 5 years. Got the high score too. DK3

 

[Zud]

That was the first game that I have unwrapped since my move over 2 years ago! Since no one is buying I might as well unwrap and play them.

 

[DrewZ]

A little more progress on My Rally-X mini, the garage is not the place to be this time of year.

 

[ArcadeTechGW]

Realized I'd left Asteroids pulled out after I got pulled off troubleshooting that 5C rev board.

Didn't push it back, but will soon. Just love that Asteroids!

 

[vintagegamer]

Pulled the ancient fluorescent bulb out of my Arena and brought it into 2025 with an LED tube. Take that, Wilma and Buck!

 

[vintagegamer]

Installed my new silverjet balls in my Arena pin. The ones I pulled don't look bad, but who knows how long they've been in there.

Also threw a meter on the socket of my one remaining bulb that's out, and power is getting to the socket from the wire. We're having people over this weekend, so I'm going to leave it be until after that gathering. We all know what happens with pre party fixes

If you have access to a microscope, look at their surface. You'll see they are covered in micro-pits and scratches. These micro-pits and scratches cause ball swirls in the surface of the playfield, causing incremental damage.

If you don't have a microscope, use a magnifying glass - you may be able to see some of them.

 

[vintagegamer]

Yeah I'd seen some of the vids on that out on YT. Wow!

 

[alfonzotan]

Replaced the previous LED-lit microswitch joystick on the Ms Pac/Galaga bootleg with a proper Wico repro leaf stick set to 4-way (thanks, @kysnow).

FInally got around to the Karateco cabs. I decided to put Puckman in the white cabinet. The blue was sloppily painted on, and under the paint is space artwork I need to reveal. I still need marquees for both, but priority is on Puckman. The wiring and cabinet is finished and complete otherwise. The power supply is very bare bones, and has issues I'll need to work out tomorrow.

 

[vintagegamer]

Worked on my Arena pin and played about 20 games of it
