Hello,
Glad to see there’s still an active Arcade forum since a lot is on FB nowadays. I think there is way more structure on a forum like this and easier to manage a topic.
I have started collecting Arcades/Pinball machines about 10 years ago with a Bally Dr Who. Later I have bought a totally broken Sega Outrun upright Arcade without any technical knowledge about Arcade games. I was just too happy to have finally found one. And had an enormous motivation to fix the Arcade. After putting many hours into it, a year later, I was able to fix the pcb’s and the cabinet with all it’s parts.
Nowadays I have got a few more cabs:
- Super Hang-on mini ride on (monitor needs work)
- Indy 500 deluxe 2 times (from which one starts to smell like burning plastic after 20 seconds… this started out of nothing. Both are rusty and are waiting restoration.).
- Custom made cabinet with a pc inside
- Cruisin USA deluxe (which I have never had working and am going to post about)
And ofcourse I still got the Outrun upright cab (broken fuse) and Dr Who (Empty battery).
As you see above there is a lot to fix!
