The only one worth visiting. Some games comes in quite poor condition ive heard. Many games, many pinballs. Also the worlds largest Ikea Store a few meters away.  :)

I think Heron City (O'Learys) is the second largest arcade in Sweden..45 games they say.

Not really central though.

Too late guys. Since I'm the first guy to announce a killscreen here I'm the master that will never be beaten!  ;) Only scorewise then..

http://donkeykongforum.com/index.php?topic=366.0

Please scroll to place 52 in the world! Christer Kristensson. Got a higher score two months before but that was an unofficial score unfortunately. Only 8000p more though.

860300 with killscreen it is!

Whohoo!!

Ok. Will get the "Sprint 2" for free in a couple of days. My friend says it's probably a Atari Crash'n Score from the beginning and is probably right but the control panel is different. But does anyone know which cabinet the  control panel it belongs to and is it a Crash? I have no other picture than this. I don't know if it's a Sprint 2 either..yet..





Thanks

Huh?

To be honest? I don't know. I guess he's not very interested shouting out to the world. It was several months it surfaced. 100% autentic for the doubters though. We'll have to respect his wishes.

I'll do my best for future references regarding this outstanding grail.

1. The cab is not for sale and will never be.
2. This is the only picture I'm allowed to post.
3. I will soon break the highscore on this one..  ;D

Enjoy!

Ok. Solved. Inverted the pcb as it should and voila. Not very good looking on a Pc crt monitor though and quite unstable picture.

Technical Area / Problem with Gonbes3 Cga to Vga converter

Ok. Bought this "for fun". Wanted to test a Nintendo pcb on it. In this case DK3. The inverted video doesn't matter. Just for test. When connected..nothing. Tested a few things for a couple of days and I did by mistake some progress.

When I connect the videocable (RGB C-sync and ground) from the pcb to the converter absolutely nothing happens. Gets a signal though. I did by mistake remove the ground cable today. Blam! Finally a picture but not really a stable one.

What the hell could be causing this? I mean, no ground where ground should be?

Maybe a long shot but does anyone has a clue?

Thanks

Technical Area / Re: Nintendo DK monitor trimming tips?
« on: June 02, 2013, 12:02:17 PM »
Ok, progress. Done some tweaking and measuring. The jiggleing picture was a too high b+ (135v). Only thing left now is the dark image but since the brightness pot VR351 doesn't work that well (not compared to my fully working dk j.r that is) I only have to change it and I "guess" everything will be good enough. Anyone knows where to buy a 10k brightness pot in Europe or anywhere else?
Preferably a seller that takes paypal and to whom I do not have to write emails, cut and paste or phone manually..

I guess I could use any 10k pot but it would look like shit on the little board.

Thanks. Just been watching these guides earlier today. But nothing seems similar to my problems. I'll do a video and post on klov.

Ok. Done the capkit. The exact same problem. Dark picture (the brightness knob wont do the trick) and the same vibrating picture. Hard to take a picture of it but imaging putting a electric toothbrush on the screen and the picture follows it.

However, during the cap change, one cap stood out. At least after the soldering. Seemed quite fine before but after, the copper lead loosened and the solder didn't bond as it should. Still fastened but also a little loose. The cap was C467. Does anyone know if this could cause it?

If not. Whats next to try? Nothing wrong with the pcb since I tried it in my other cab.

Thanks in advance.

Arcade Lifestyle / Advice what to do regarding import or build?
« on: May 22, 2013, 01:58:35 PM »
Ok, maybe there are lots of threads about the similar but since the status of our hobby changes all the time so..

The main question; I badly want more Nintendo cabs. My perfect setup would be DK, Dk j.r, DK 3, Popeye, Mario Bros and maybe Radarscope.

What should I do? How much would I expect to pay for say Dk 3, Popeye and Mario freight shipped from the US? Also, what are the possibility to find a cab in Europe not THAT far from Sweden (say Germany, Netherlands and UK) Although I guess the gas price, hotel, ferry/bridge/whatever fee would be something like freightship from the USA? If I could buy all three at once in Spain for ex. I would not hesitate to go by car but not one cab.

Another thing is that I gladly could use the Nintendo v.s variant and restore them. Maybe these are less expensive also?

The last thing which I would consider is to scratch build since that would be the "easiest" way. But, THEY ARE NOT ORIGINAL... A restored v.s is another thing but not a scratch built one. And from what I see from the prices for spare parts, damn!

I have played DK and DK j.r alot earlier but when I got my original ones, hey, so much funnier to play! Really! This is how it should be played! Period! I consider myself a gamer foremost but also, well, historian collector.

Last; money isn't really an issue but I will of course not pay astronomical amounts for everything. But if I may choose, I will pay alot more for the original ones. I'm not greedy but it doesn't feel right to pay 600 Euro for a scratch build if I can get an original for 800-1000 shipped?

?

Thanks
