NEW The GAMEFIXER Honorarium.

Matt fucking rocks! He just fixed an issue with my K4915 chassis, took him about 5 seconds to fix. The man is a genius! Can't thank him enough for all the amazing help he provides the community!
 
Gamefixer, Disturbs me during lunch.
Have you ever tried to crack crab while talking to him?
Smart phone now smell like crab.

We should have two more machines on line for the arcade expo.

Wonderful practical knowledge.

Hard man to get drunk.

Has a riding mower.

Amazingly level headed..

That K4915... ugh...

Kaydee and I were working on that one. It has a fun story.

It had been necked, so its a tube swap with a jumper-fixed neckboard. ss02049 recapped it at a repair party, and the top half of the screen was collapsed, kinda like vector monitors do when one of the transistors is failing... so we find one of the vertical deflection transistors (the pair on the big pair of cooling fins) has a leg broken off. Swap that out, and now we go into immediate shutdown, with a resistor glowing orange after about 30 seconds, a different one depending on where the hpos jumper is set... so something must be shorting to ground.

We eventually find the cause of that, this board has jumper wires all over it, one had broken off and was touching the frame. We fix that and the monitor comes up again. Victory, we thought, because this was outside at a repair party and it was too bright outside to dial everything in, so we took it home to work on it the next day...

Then we find that the image was bright on the left, and got darker as we moved to the right... we started testing caps, continuity in various areas, etc. No dice and no change. Exchanged several texts with gamefixer as he shared some ideas to try. Once he got the chassis in his hands he was able to find and fix it quickly.

Kaydee and I are really grateful for the help and the willingness to help on Gamefixer's part! We are a couple of software geeks who really only started fixing this kind of stuff a couple of years ago... we've brought G07s, 4600s, 4900s, Tovis, G05, G08, Sharp 2001XM, WG6100s back from the dead or near dead, and have built a few "new" monitors (a 4900, G07, Tovis and 7000) from found TVs, yokes scrounged from necked tubes or eBay, and rebuilt parts chassis from a box of junk :) But we aren't EEs or anything like that, its all self taught from the 'net -- so we are super appreciative of experts like Gamefixer who will share what they know with us so we can use it to help the next person at the next repair party get one of their old games up and running.

There is my super long way of saying "Thank's Gamefixer, we owe you a beer or seven at Zapcon" :)

Let me also preface this video with the fact it is NOT me, rather a Vine-Star/Rapper named Danny LoPriore. I'd post another one of his videos here for reference, but with the current moderatorial climate around here, I'll refrain. (oh noez, he sayz bewbs)

Yes, this thread is getting dangerously close to being fun as it is. Better not.
 
I say you let him plant his seed inside of you and lets see what happens....never say never.

Matt is probably the single best individual I have met in this hobby. Not only has he fixed items for me, he's taught me how to troubleshoot and fix my own things. Solid dude. I would have his babies if I physically could.
 
So that's it? That's all the gamefixer asskissing we're going to do?
 
I'm not sure how I missed this thread, but add me to the long list of folks who have a raging boner for Matt.

He's the reason my Sinistar lives, and he's hooked me up with great deals that have helped me land some of my favorite games.

Hell, he helped me less than a week ago. I sold my DK to a co-worker, and when I delivered it, it was acting wonky. Matt properly diagnosed the problem via text and I was good to go within minutes.

He's awesome.
 
I'm more than happy to help any and all with game issues. I didnt have shit for help when I started so I know what it feels like to be in the dark.
 
Matt is defiantly a hero when it comes to fixing broke games
many games continue to live on because of Matts help
THANKS
 
I've had dinner with Matt(he provided the Billy Mitchell hot sauce) but he didn't fix the Hum in my AD :)

side note: I played that AD at the GP last weekend, still Hums LOL.
