It's cool that you share how much you pay for your games, everyone else is so ashamed or scared. Great deal by the way. Worth the drive to my neck of the woods.

I like the green! Qix is a pretty fun game too.

Kick is a great game and the cabinet art is awesome. Really looking forward to seeing you weave your magic on this one. Great project ;-)

I haven’t played kicks before, interesting cab, looks in not too bad condition. A picked a Taito two tone blue cab just the other day. Not 100% sure which game I will put in it yet, and I need to undo the LCD hack that has been done to it. Have a CRT tube. Have the plastic monitor surround thank goodness.

Nice looking game

Troy best wishes on your videos . I am one of your fans seen all your videos. You rock and your the next John’s Arcade

great score on these 2 kick is a great fun game looking forward to see this

$160 for both cabs, SCORE!!!!!! Love the vids. Also, would help if you used a clip on wireless mic, so your voice isn't fading in and out as you walk around or face away from the camera. I have to keep raising and lowering the volume to hear you. Not complaining (well maybe, lol) but I think it would increase the overall quality of your videos.

Some cool stuff buddy

That artwork is awesome on kick. Looking forward to seeing you fix it up.

want t molding goto aliexpress its kinda like amazon buddy takes longer but straight from source china you can get alot of things you need from there just takes longer love the vids my man keep it up I just looked it up alot of stuff there cheaper but takes weeks to get so save but wait

It does use two speakers. There is a dual channel

IIRC, green Taito cabs were Jungle King/Hunt

Must be something good that’s a long drive

Just wanted to let you know that I do appreciate you making these videos. You're both learning, and we're learning from. Thanks for making the videos.

Good stuff How bout a live chat show soon as u work on projects ?

same thing happened to my xevious I wish would have seen your first video a little sooner might have saved you some time

Sounds good, congrats 👍

My guess. Either you are picking up an alpine skiing or a rally x. Well that’s what I’m hoping you’re picking up.

check the bridge rectifier

I noticed in general you replaces caps mostly on these games. Other than fuses, are these the standard go to parts towards fixing them? Is there a way to check them because replacing?

That sounds like arcing, or leaky caps. If the tantalums are leaking dc that will draw the bias off on the transistors and they will shut off like a switch. I'm guessing that is what the problem is. If it's on loud sounds and power up, that would also make sense.

So this is the less glamorous side of owning a kickbutt video arcade.

First time I’ve seen a scanline generator. Interesting

Good stuff man 👍👍🔧

For a manual solder sucker, I'd recommend the Vampire Tools VT-001-SS. It's a bit more expensive than the cheaper imitations that look almost exactly the same but don't last or work as well. The authentic version works great. It has a silicon tube on the sucker that is heat resistant and gives a good seal when sucking solder. The OG Vampire is made in Japan. It's rated 4.7 out of 5 on Amazon. I'd also suggest you purchase a pair of thin needle-nose pliers for grabbing broken leads, etc. On your power supply (and generally all electronics, including your juke box amp. Start with the power supply with this as everything else depends on correct, clean power) I'd suggest you start "at the wall" so to speak and work towards the output. Follow the flow of electrons. Check all transformer inputs/outputs, fuses, fuse holders. Check for oxidized connectors, wires broken inside the insulation, etc. i.e., the mechanical connections. Then check all the voltages at the test points and going to the connectors and coming out. There may be corroded connectors. Some voltages use another voltage as a reference. It may use 12 VDC as it's reference. Once the reference voltage is working, the others may fall in line. BTW, Mike's Amateur Arcade has a great method of removing old components without using a solder sucker. He heats one leg and "rocks" it out. Then he heats the other leg. He cleans the pad and clears the hole with solder-wick, removing any oxidation. Although flux is messy, it will make your life easier because it helps the solder to flow, stick to where it's supposed to stick and helps avoids bridged joints. Just get a bottle of 99.9% isopropyl alcohol (IPA), spritz it on, rub with your wife's toothbrush (j/k if you want to stay married) and wipe off.

Might want to get one of those hand-held solder suckers, at least as a backup...

My 19” bestech needs a new flyback if anyone can help me

Hey Troy.. What you need to do is keep those mushrooms cleared out at the bottom say 3 or 4 inches of the screen. More if you can. Do it quickly. When the Centipede hits a mushroom it drops lower. Without the mushrooms it has to travel all the way across the screen giving you more time to shoot them. Start with that.

Dig dug seems to have the most problems out of any machine with the sense on the power supply. Not sure why but I’ve seen it have problems multiple times

throwing parts at it is not the answer sure you may get lucky. Pull out a Multi meter test diodes, Look at the board at solder joints , Inspect chips and such see if there is a bit of corrosion.Also You know the model of the monitor. see if You can obtain a schematic on the monitor. You may have to pull chips and clean them dono if it is socketed or not.

If you need to know what would cross reference or find a replacement for you can always look at Arcade parts and repair website. Great info on this website.

What brand of De-soldering pump do you have? Model?

Repair videos are very interesting to watch, always enjoy them. Great job, very informative.

Where did you get the cap kit? I'm working on a Wurlitzer 3600, and the amp is on the list of things to fix... I think you mentioned that the cap kit covered multiple amp models, perhaps the extra caps are not used in this one, but are on one of the other models?

Maybe resolder the remote board header on the pcb and the chassis. As this could cause this issue. Also spray the pots with deoxit and move them back and forth for 1 minute or so to remove any oxidation. This may clear up your issue.

You getting the Christmas decorations up already! The fireplace style looks grand. Superstores over here in the U.K. have had Christmas selling for the past few weeks now. Maddening.

Good skills Troy - Another one off the fix-list

Great stuff brother, but can you bending at the knees or work on a bench. All that bending like that can't be good for your back.

Yes the SLG makes the game look so much better.

Glad you are back Troy. I agree Facebook can eat up your life and loose too much time. Keep up the good work with videos please

But what if you had a 12v fan, how would you power it?

Now I gotta head to the retro arcade and play paperboy. Never payed any attention to it. But your videos and watching a classic John’s arcade with paperboy has perked my interest.

Awesome 👍

Great job! Would love some kind of 3-4 minute walkthrough with the games running and lights going (maybe at a party or hangout)! You nailed the aesthetic man. Just started my venture of collecting cabinets

those leftover caps may be for building a multicap setup to replace those giant caps like a motorola monitor

Tubes need to be shiny or black, that's called the "getter" and takes care of any micro-vacuum leaks. If they turn white then they are bad. Often times old tubes will be fine, except power amp tubes. You can pull tubes to isolate hum too starting at the first pre-amp tube, it won't hurt anything, this is useful to isolate problems. Check the screen resistors on the power tubes, and make sure the bias adjustment is working properly because tubes can run away with no bias and burn up. That's the most common failure point in old amps. Amps are my area of knowledge as I work on guitar amps for 35+ years. Glad to answer any questions you have. Check out Psionic Audio, Lyle is the most knowledgeable tech I know on UA-cam.

First! Hey, have you been getting my text messages on your fancy new phone?

I never knew there was an arcade version, the bike handlebars look cool. I had the SNES version as a kid. It is a hard game so it makes sense it was an arcade game first.

Looking Good!
