All the rest / Re: Possibly something more of interest!
« Last post by Retro Reflections on August 22, 2026, 10:58:26 AM »
Hello again, everyone!

As the Kickstarter campaign for INSERT COIN: A VISUAL GUIDE - VOLUME II enters its final furlong, I'd like to thank all of you who have already so very generously given your backing and support; as things stand with 8 days remaining, over 60% of its funding goal has already been achieved, something which has more than warmed the cockles of this old gamer's heart.

However, if you've not yet had the chance to take a look at the project for this Kickstarter-exclusive, limited-edition follow-up featuring fifty more classic arcade videogames from the Golden Age of the late 1970s and early 80s, and you might be interested in a copy for yourself (or maybe a particular retro gamer in your life), then the details can be found here:

kickstarter.com/projects/retroreflections/insert-coin-a-visual-guide-volume-ii

If you're not able to support the campaign directly (which is, in all honesty, perfectly understandable given the current financial climate), then if you could please help to share and spread the word as far and as wide as possible over the next few days, I would be truly grateful for any assistance you can provide.

All that said, I hope that everyone is faring as well as possible and about to have the most excellent weekend, and once again, my heartfelt thanks for the fantastic encouragement and endorsement shown so far.

The very best to you all,

Robert David Swan

Two years later, I had a failure on another model.
I couldn’t manage to find the same reference, so I simply sourced a power supply with the same voltages  8)

From memory, there are three different types of PSU in the Galaxian Theater.
My first failure was on the model attached here.
I was lucky enough to find the same reference on eBay, a used PSU from China, which was in excellent condition. It’s the kind of heavy‑duty power supply typically used, for example, in hospitals.
