Wish we got these in sweden but we never did. The few that exist here are imported from the US. In Sweden we mainly had JK cabinets made in Danmark. They were simple unbranded brown wood cabinets. Most of them did not even have a marquee. And the ones who did only said "fantasy game" or "video game" on them. Most dedicated cabinets we got were the ones that needed a light gun. Arcade games were rare to find in the wild here back in the day. For the most part you had to travel to a place like liseberg (one of our 2 biggest amusement parks). In the US, arcade cabinets were everywhere in the 80s and 90s. You Americans are lucky!!
@@MikesJunkDrawer We did have a few bootlegs from taiwan just like all other countrys. However, most of the PCB boards were genuine. So how did we know what game was in a cabinet when there were no artwork? Simple, you just walked up to a cabinet and took a look what game were installed at that perticular time. The arcade importers would simply switch the PCB board to another game, when the old one stoped bringing in money. I got two different models of JK cabinets in my collection. The most common one with no marquee, and the less common one with a marquee (it says "Fantasy game" on it). I got the three different games that had been used with it. Return of the invaders, time pilot and mr.do's wild ride.
Yea would love a step by step on how to put a new monitor, high score save board, into the cab. Also was thinking about getting a new control panel with more buttons so I can see about one of those multi boards for the system. Please do a part 2 and such. Just make sure you put links to all your supplies for the job.
Thanks for watching Bob. I will finish working on it soon I hope, and I think there may have been a high score save kit sitting in the bottom of the cabinet when I picked it up, I can’t remember.
By now everyone should know the original arcade machines weren’t meant to be played on at home they were for business they break less then a year I got them also I stopped playing on them not going to keep on paying for to fix them over and over you got now arcade 1 up selling you them they never broke once you can also play these on mame 32 on PC can’t imagine wanting to repair these machines over and over your better off going and buying the Pac-Man pixel arcade machine instead that will not break on you ever I own it I own the Ms Pac-Man Galaga arcade machine since 2004 still working no problems but the ones from the late 1980’s and 1990’s have problems
I was ambitious and took on to many projects at once. I have the cap kit to rebuild the monitor and some new t-molding for it. As soon as a finish the arcade cabinet I’m building it’s next on my list.

That’s interesting. So without dedicated cabinets, what was in the JK cabinets you mentioned? Where they bootleg games?

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

What happened to part 2? I would love to see how you repaired the monitor.
I haven’t fixed it yet. My ADD always gets the better of me. Hopefully I’ll get to it soon.
Got the same one looking for a restoration
1:59 I immediately recognized you were using the pattern, I've recently been learning those myself.
Yes, I learned them all pretty well, but now I’ve forgotten them again since the game is still half apart.
Did you ever finish this? I'd love to see how the finished product looks.
Not yet sadly, but I will.
Where is part 2 to this video?
I got side tracked with the cabinet I’m building. I have all the parts to work on it though, it’s next on my list.
It would be great if I could hear you
Where are the other parts?
