I'd love to but have an event planned for that weekend! Looks fun!

Great news! So, where can we pick up the games? Bremerhaven or Berlin??

That would be Berlin, because "Ish bin Ian Berliner" :)

I think it would be really fun to see you guys unloading the conatiners in Berlin. Maybe some day I can visit. :D

Thomas, you have been to my house to pick up the Moon Patrol in the rain. :D

john... if you ever come to europe you can be my guest. i run a gameshop that some of the dlf-members visited. my basement arcade is crowing and from my hometown trier we can visit the guys in belgium, holland and germany. :)

it would rock to drink a beer or two with you. besides that visiting the european scene would make some really cool youtube videos for your cannel. ;)

yeah, I'd love to do that! Maybe sometime I can.

Do you have any Zaccaria cabinets?

I don't have any Zaccaria cabinets. I would love to have one, though! I love the way they look. Cool stuff, for sure!

Hi John, welcome here. I bet we all know who you are and I am sure that we all subscribed to your Youtube channel.  :D

Your collection is great, and I also like your knowledge of VS stuff.



Thanks for the warm welcome! I have noticed that a lot of Europeans subscribe and comment on my Youtube channel. I never really understood how, but it's great! Thanks!!

Okay, just g otoff the phone with evil Michael who was just talking to the police again and...

we are all set for shipping of the container this thursday. None of the accusations are accurate. There is a case, but no one is getting arrested and no containers are gonna get held for evidence.



This is good for you!! Glad you guys are getting your games!

Yeah, capkits are not that expensive so thats probably the most easy way

You dont happen to have a ESR meter ? then you can check the caps before you shotgun the chassis with new caps



My fluke DMM can test capacitance. I never use that feature though. :)

Wow! That looks really nice. I would love to have a building like that. It's soooo clean! Must have been a lot of hard work. Congrats!

This is my introduction! Hi! :)

I collect mostly games from '80 - '83 and am a big Nintendo fan. I have a youtube channel and website called "John's Arcade" at http://www.youtube.com/blkdog7 and http://www.johnsarcade.com

I'm friends with a few of the guys that are on here already and never joined because I never owned a Dragon's Lair but it seems like this place is much more! So, here I am! :)

Here's some (slightly older) photos of my stuff. My collection is a little different right now but not by too much:

I have seen bad caps, i have seen leaking caps, but i have only seen exploded caps in the case of a major short / fault on the board.

i am curious what happens to the cap when you got a new one in place.

would it be an idea just to change that blown cap first and see what happens ?

I think I am gonna shotgun the board and replace all the caps. I have heard many stories about this board just blowing caps.

Hey, thanks guys! I'm glad you're watching. :)  :lol:

That thing is awesome! Never seen one of those before. It's almost like a full-size cabaret!

Looking for a Pac-Man cabaret marquee and CPO. Also need a Pac PCB. Whatcha got!?

I picked up a Sprint 2 (my first B&W game!) and the game plays blind. I have neckglow but no picture. It's a Tec TM-623 monitor.

One of the caps on the chassis exploded like a New Years Eve party favor. So, besides a cap kit is there anything else I should be thinking about with this monitor? Should I replace all the frame transistors? Anything I should know about this monitor? Any usual weak spots?

I plan on ordering the cap kit from Bob Roberts and reflowing all the solder. If you have any other tips, I'd love to hear them! Thanks in advance!
