You are always teasing us with talk of your storage area. Would love to see a tour of the storage to see all the cool old stuff you have there. Keep up the great videos.
The problem with some of the Sega games is that they used suicide batteries inside some of the processor chips that if they die the game dies with it as they contain a decryption key in the battery RAM. Some of them can be revived with a decrypted or bootleg ROM and replacing the custom processor with a 68000 or Z80 depending on the model.
that was a sad surprise in the cabinet. wow thats a lot of monitor parts. sad to think all monitors will be extinct at some point. those gun games were fun.
Yeah, those tube rejuvenators. I saw on another channel where an old TV repairman had said that their main purpose was zapping the tube to get it limping back along until they could order & receive a new tube to replace it. If you got long term results from it, you just got lucky.
Nice job Joe ! I had to put my sunglasses on when you fired up that second monitor! 😂😂 . Always enjoy your solo videos and we even got a Ron voice cameo in this one ! Great work 👍
Not that I am looking, have you ever run across the classic upright Battlezone with the scope? Atari even developed two modified units for the Armed Services for training. From what I read, one was destroyed, and the other is in the hands of a private individual.
MATT or RON, Does the Yoke RINGS setting change the Yokes Resistance measurement? or Why does a Yoke have a resistance measurement because a Yoke is just bare wire wound wrapped around a magnet. The Yoke RINGS are for the Red Blue Green colors so the Yoke Rings must change the resistance of the Yoke?
@SiaVids The Yoke Rings are magnetics that are redirecting the magnetic field of the RGB electron beam guns? Convergence means that the RGB electron beam guns are in Alignment?
@LyonsArcade right, most flash a square around the target for the gun to pickup so many of those will be toast at least many others will be saved that way, unless someone starts rebuilding tubes again, one TV mueaseam I guess has a rebuilding line but last I saw no one actually had mastered the skill of building guns and rebuilding tubes. There's videos on here about it.

Yes please we need a tour
I'm always a bit surprised when you feature a game I've never heard of in my 55 years. But that's one of the reasons I enjoy watching your channel.
I was hoping for power supply , power supply, power supply ! That old hippie still making us laugh 😂

Not so much an arcade guy. Pinball is my bag. But interesting video. Now about that Super Mario Pin in storage… ;)
I have been waiting for the Williams Funhouse machine myself!
You're looking at thei the wrong way Joe.
That monitor is sleek and efficient. By having no monitor board, it's less to go wrong eh?
It's obvious what's wrong with it. It's broke!
Great work Joe….Another game brought back from the dead. Fantastic! Thanks for the video.
I was able to guess what was wrong with this machine within the first couple minutes, it’s broke! 😂 thanks for another fantastic video
This is one of my all time favorite games. Great job!
It went from "It's Broke" to "it's 8". Thanks for making the videos.
Ron, nice job of playing a commenter asking questions about changing the yoke instead of swapping connectors. We like guest appearances.

I think someone will find an investment opportunity when it gets to the point where CRT monitors are unsustainable to repair and keep going.
Hi Joe! Thanks for the video. You and Ron have a good weekend!

It sure is nice of Joe to give all his hair to Ronnie and Donnie.
A bushy bushy blonde hair-do?? 🧐
"I have no idea what's wrong with it." Really? You know what's wrong with all of them.
"It's broke!"
There's something called the Pareto principle - the 80/20 rule - you can get an arcade system to an 8 in 20% of the time it takes to make it a 10 .
I remember playing that game When it was new😂

You say you have loads in storage, have you removed the battiers in case they leak and do more damage to the boards?
Hello, awesome video, is police trainer, like v irtua cop game?.

The Yoke RINGS are for the Red Blue Green colors so the Yoke Rings must change the resistance of the Yoke?
The rings do not change anything electrically, they are ring magnets and influence the position of the electon beams by magnetism.
@SiaVids The Yoke Rings are magnetics that are redirecting the magnetic field of the RGB electron beam guns? Convergence means that the RGB electron beam guns are in Alignment?
oh no! its broke!
how about a list of what you got in the storage lol
Daylight robbery! 😭😭😭
Hey Joe!!
Hey Jason!
Exidy cabinets are ridiculously heavy. Just saying
What got you guys into game repair?
We used to go to the arcade as teenagers and bought one of their games for $80, so we had it in our house
At some point the best we will be able to do is converting to a LCD unfortunately
Gun games won't work with an LCD

I know exactly why you're not getting any video on that monitor. It's fairly technical, but I'll do my best to explain. It's broken.
" broke" 😅
Yodelayheehoo
