Hello guys,
im working on my Super Hang On who had a Hantarex PSU. Model US250.

when i turn on the cab it start to make a high pitched sound that didnt stop until i turn it off.
Also the monitor didnt light up, so i assume there is no juice going out of it.

Did you ever exprerience this kind of problem with an hantarex psu? Those the sound mean something? 
I cant find anything about a sound code for problem in the PSU's manual.


Any help would be very much appreciate.

Hi guys,
here is a tutorial showing you how you can easily renew the old buttons of your favorite arcade cabinet, to keep it as genuine as can be.

THING YOU NEED:
- Glue gun
- Driller
- Leg leveler or a big screw with kinda flat head
- Some plastic polish (i use Novus 1,2,3)
- Some cotton balls
- Roll of tape



Leg levelers are the parts that let you level your arcade or pinball.



We'll use it as an interface between the driller and the button parts.
Put a big drip of glue on the base of the leveler.



Wait until the glue is no more tacky but still soft, then put your part on it.
To avoid button parts to stick on the glue you can wet it a little (i use saliva ).
Center it.



Wait for the glue to be cold.
Now you have a mold to stick your part on the polishing device, aka the driller.


Secure the part with some tape, stick it on the driller, and you are ready to start.



As stated before i use Novus polish. It'a 3 parts polish. It work very well on this plastic.
Set the driller at half speed or below. If you feel the plastic heating, then lower the speed.



Job done, here is a before-after pic.



Do the same technic for the other parts of the button.

Check out my 3 buttons completly restored.
They are shinier then new!

Hi guys,
im in the end of my cursus in graphic design.
The theme of the last work (also the exam) is "making a whole graphic line for our future Studio".
I choose to work on an arcade related shop (might be useful someday..) who will be focused on silkscreened arcade artwork reproduction.

So far i have only found the name: The Artwork Maniac.

I would like to make the logo look like an old arcade games marquee, and i want to use a allready existing style of font.
Also i would like to use a logo with load of halftones, to make it look like i know what im talking about .
I ve done a Super Hang On logo recently but the style is to modern.
I like the lazarian that etienne is redoing ATM. but the lazarian font is not enough arcade for me.
I love the look of the galaga font, but there is no halftone in it.


Maybe some of you can point me to some good old school arcade logo, with plenty of haltones and who is noticeable on first sight?.

Of course feel free so submit other name or remark, nothing is writen in stone for now.

Thanks a lot.

hi guys,
im in the process of re-drawing all the stickers from my Super Hang On cabinet.

I allready have done severals brand logos (RK Takasago,Hu-Tech,CIBIE,etc) and i'm starting the Super Hang On logo.
So i carefully tear off the sticker, making sure that i didnt twist it.
Scant it, but in Illustator when i put my line marks i can see that the original drawing isn't parallel.

check it:


It's particulary visible on the half of the "Super"..  


So my 2 questions are:
-Do you think i should re-do the same mistake or should i straight up the logo?

-Do you think i can have the same dot frames effect if i print it on a digital printer or an offset?
My tought is that the decals was made using silkscreen technic, can some of you (etienne perhaps ) give me is light on this?


Thank you for reading.  

PS: Of course, as soon as i finish them, i will send them to zorg to put on vectorlib.
