Here is part one of yet another arcade restore! This time we are going to restore a Midway Pac-man mini, or cabaret, arcade game. In this video we'll take a road trip to pick up the game and visit my friend Walt's arcade. In his arcade we'll check out some of his games including Tron Legacy Pinball, Stern Indiana Jones, SEGA's Star Wars Trilogy, and much more! We'll also come back to John's Arcade to assess the cabinet and what work needs to be done, and also test a Nintendo Vs. board.
Stay tuned for future installments of this restoration as we start to tear the game down and rebuild it to factory new! This is gonna be quite the task! :)

I love Pac-Man. It’s one of my favorite classic arcade games.
I would like to have one in my basement.
Great vid! looking forward to the forth coming pacman videos. Much Respect from the UK!
Love the morning cigar on the commute!
At 1:46, I could see the cigar before the video in Boston when he’s about to be on the E-Z Pass.
I actually have no idea how he could do that.
(3:04-3:24) Oh my goodness here we go again. This is the best part of the video.
This couldn't have come at a better time for me. I just picked up a Centipede cabaret last week that needs some work, and it's about the same shape as your Pac-Man. So i'll be watching for sure. Cheers!
Dude I don't restore cabinets myself, but I really enjoy your videos.
Yeah, I have a Zoo Keeper. It's one of my favorite games!!
I had a chance to play on that Discs of TRON. Its a blast to play, I took top score on the leaderboards first try :) My friend Mark couldn't believe how quickly I went through the levels. :)
I haven't even seen half of the video yet but... OMG DAT TRON PINBALL :O
John my name is lance jackson and I love your channel and I love your year and review and your on the road videos
Awesome pick up man, can't wait
Man I love these restore videos!
I now have Pac Man in my basement as my birthday present.
Anthony the App Guy you should post a video
I don’t do videos of arcade games, I only do app reviews.
@@anthonytheappguy4426ah yeah, if you had posted one arcade machine video, the world would've ended.
Wow, that's great to hear! The metal parts are pretty easy and hard to screw up! :)
Walt seems like a cool dude.
Yeah, Walt is a cool dude for sure!
Agreed.
that candy cab looked nice
i was just thinking today while playing some puckman that you dont have a pac man in the basement! but you can squeeze another game in somewhere.
soon you will be moving the dryer and washing machine out!
thanks for doing more restore vids they are great
Really Enjoying these video's, keep up the great work, i know i will be referencing these video's when i tackle my first cab restore. ( first i need to move to a house with space) lol
24:13 That is such a cool shutdown sequence!
24:13
Nice, I get a little electro feel from the samplings. :)
Walt got a Top-Skater!!! Awesome...
It's coming today!!
going to enjoy this.
I played the Indiana Jones pinball one at a restaurant when I visited Thorpe park, that's a pretty awesome amusement park
Did I just see a perfect looking Zoo Keeper? Jealousy reigns.
LOVE RESTORATION VIDEOS
awesome vid, loved that star wars gameplay =) actually i would love to hear you again at the agg podcast, cause i just heard episode 6 yesterday :D
Can't wait
Yamaha DX7 was my first synthesizer. :) Finally got my programmer, burned my first eprom and it was a success - great feeling. :)
Oh Pac-man - will be fun to check this restoration project out! By the way, your 'how to burn eproms'-videos inspired me into ordering a eprom-programmer and eproms, so I can update the firmware in some of my 80's synthesizers, so thanks for that!
I'm working on one of these myself. Keep doing these videos man, before you started on the Gyruss one I was scared to try doing the metalwork, i'd just concentrated on the electronics, now I want all my machines to look really good as well as play 100%. Longer videos rock in my opinion.
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! It's electronic pop/rock or whatever you want to call it. :)
Thanks!!! And, no prob... I understood everything you said! LOL!
great vid, dont lie, you weren't happy it was goonies!
Ha! :) I already converted it to Gradius! Gradius was a game I traded some time ago and I have missed it. So, I was happy to get it back. And, yeah, I already had Goonies.
Gayrage,the best thing I have heard all day!
Thanks! Enjoy the vids. :)
I'd love to go back on. You should tell them! :)
That's great, man! I'd love to get some old synths. I am rocking a Microkorg and some soft synths in Pro Tools. Want to get a Yamaha DX-7
John, i found An arcade game called "Superman", From 1988, Tiato. I Scored like 320,800 Points in that game got me 3rd place on the highscores table.
This is a cool video but at the same time its very interesting and aslo I love me some PAC man
CT warehouse had that woodgrain. Vintage and you could probably get it cheap.
Great classic Pac-Man ,great choice for a restore. Do you have Galaga yet? Another great classic...
Did you try adjusting the monitor first? Turn up the "screen" on the flyback.
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech bruh stop posting comments and post some replies now and then
No, I don't have one. I do want one! :)
I wonder if its possible to build a Star Wars Trilogy cabaret. I think that would be so cool.
Sorry for the late comment, but never saw these clips, since I saw your earlier videos I was shocked at the shape the pacman was in! You did a fantastic job on it. Again I just love your videos, I get to live the dream through your videos. I don't own a single game due to cash restraints, my dream games are pretty simple. Would love a normal upright Ms PacMan, & Galaga. Pinballs are my favorite, my top 3 : Funhouse, Circus Voltaire, Haunted House.
You like cigars too?!!! Your stock just went up :)
Skip to 1:46. He had a cigar in his hand as he’s going through the E-Z Pass, right?
That Tron Pinball was sweet!
Your ban is pretty good too, just listened to Loopers.
I am myself a punk rock/hardcore drummer. I used to play in the swedish skate punk band Bowser :D
What instrument do you play?
Love your vids!
And well, you can do the math XD
Bummer! Shouldn't be too hard to convert back assuming the cabinet isn't destroyed.
The Tron Game on the Tron Pinball Game! IT'S LIKE TRONGAMECEPTION
Loopers?! You have the right band? My band is The Kill Screens. Bowser! Cool band name. :D
Walt's got Pac-Men coming out of his ears. Did I see three cabs there including the one you picked up?
Hi John. Big fan of your youtube channel. I've already watched a few dozen of your restoration videos and they're very informative and helpful.
I'm interested in building a cabinet that's roughly similar to your Pac-Man cabaret cabinet. Is it possible for you to give me the rough dimensions? They don't have to be exact, as it's not going to be a copy, just close enough to get me in the ballpark.
Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Hi John, any chance of getting some dimensions of this cabaret cab? I really like the look of it and would love to build one for myself.
Also, I'd love to build a donkey kong cab, but I'm kind of confused as to how the marquee glass and bezel glass are connected, or kept in place. Building the cab wouldnt be a problem for me, but small details like how this front glass is mounted puzzles me.
Thanks.
yes, I remember! Your last sentence was gibberish.
I live near Massachussitts. I live in CT.
Holy heck Bank panic? Envrio DoT? Dude is sitting on a gold mine
Yeah, he had three of them, just in his garage.
Thanks!!!!!
Oh, I'll document everything, don't worry! :)
Tour of an arcade,restoring Pacman
The Star Wars Arcade Trilogy I think is running on Lindbergh or NAOMI GD-ROM hardware.
Judging from the aliasing in the game, imma say that it's running on NAOMI hardware.
Hey John , Love your Vids.. Yes Please keep them comin, I;m learning through you..
PS I have a Ms. Pacman.....for over 22yrs. Seems like i,m losing the lines. Do you think i need a new cap kit ?/
yeah i told them on their facebookpage that they should invite you as a guest again and maybe lukemorse1 too for some arcadetalk =)
Yeah, I like them maybe too much. :D
And a pinball review
Probably this weekend!
AWESOME
(1:46) He brought a cigar as he’s driving?!
I can only imagine walking into an arcade and going up to a machine that says fuckman
Atari made the complete game, but was never released, someone recently made a reproduction cabinet of the game that's a very accurate recreation of the one in the film but that's all I've really heard about.
alright i'm going to teach you and walt a trick for that star wars game. notice there are two buttons on the joystick. tap the trigger with your index finger on the front, then tap the top button with your thumb, then bounce your hand back and forth between those two buttons. get into a rhythm with that movement and you will shoot like a machine gun.
i can beat the entire game on one quarter using this technique.
Is there a The Last Starfighte arcade cab?
Soon, maybe this weekend!
I added a link in the description. :)
Do you have the camera on your head when you are driving or something?
How do you find parts for these, I'd assume that they have ICs in them that haven't been made in over 30+ years.
Has anyone ever said you kind of sound like Patton Oswalt?
Anyway, new sub because of "Arcade Impossible" Holla if you're hear because of "Arcade Impossible!" ... *crickets*
Sweet, thanks for subbing! :)
I'm not sure. I can ask him!
This is true. :)
Cause UA-cam muted my video because of the Star Wars Soundtrack during the gameplay sequence. So, I edited the video removing the music they didn't like.
jesus i want a candy cab! are they pretty expensive?
Haha, yeah, it might be the wrong band, it's always kinda confusing when more than one band have the same name.
You should link your your band in the description.
why not fill the corner in with bondo or something?
how many parts are there going to be
I saw your promo vid. Good job and good luck!
Hey, if you ever get bored of the vs. tennis, why not install 2 vs. games in that, like goonies on one side and something else on the other.
Ok, and Yankees are my fav too! Did you check out Arcade Perfection, my new channel?
I don't have one, bro!
I have a full-size Ms. Pac-man
Sorry about that monitor. I was carrying my 27" NFS carbon monitor and pushed it against my stomach wrong and, hissssssssss, It was painful. Still is since it has an LCD now :\
ok wil do.
What monitor is in pacman usually I might buy a ms pacman that needs a monitor near me for 250 bucks
1:46 there is a cigar in his hand
Why could he smoke when he’s driving?
When a pinball restore?
seen ms pacman at a indoor plea market here but it wasn't that good shape and bad burn in. sure too much money too.
John,
There's a upright working Pacman machine in my area that I would like to buy. I waiting on pictures to see if there is any burn in the monitor. I guess I'll be like bobcat and say how much is too much for this machine? I thought of offering $400, is that too much? Too little? Thanks!
+The Galaga Master Nice original Pac-Mans can for a lot. Everyone knows and wants the game. If it's working and in good shape $400 is a deal.
Thanks John! Love your videos!
+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech have you had experience with TwistedQuarter and/or ArcadeShop? how are their services?
