The red button version are unique but if you have the orange buttons they are pretty much sanwa buttons.

I show both in a video I recorded yesterday:

I like that CP with the two tone leaf buttons look bad ass and ill be following your Mr Do revitalising &  btw cool videos...

I watched your G07 monitor repair video when you toss the board in the sink, honestly I thought you were crazy, I never thought of washing circuit boards like that, you proven to me its just fine to do so if you do it right...

I won't work in a unwashed chassis. You end up filthy and the first even can get in the solder.


I'm jonesing, waiting for updated Mr Do videos on your project....

Mr Do is the bomb! I love it...  way more advanced then Dig Dug ! It was and still is one of my favorites, as a kid I loved the idea of finding the diamond for a free credit... today currently I'm limited to playing in mame until I can find one for sale locally

cool, fingers crossed...

btw good job on the Robotron 2084  battery fix, really you could have skipped posting that video but believe me I myself appreciate the video work even small mistakes like that, because if it can happen to you, it can happen to less experienced collectors like myself and it is in the end a lesson & helpful !

keep making mistakes ! Ha !

I bought a new Retron 5 this morning at 10:30 am and now it’s dead... well at least the NES slot is dead by 7:pm... the cart slot grabs so tight it ripped the teeth out of the jaw socket when removing the cart... bad design / poor quality...
 
38  General Category / Comments about John's videos and johnsarcade.com / Re: Which Restore Series Would Make For the Best DVD? on: June 12, 2014, 01:38:23 pm
I voted pacman just due to the available volume of machines out in the public...

I think you would want to go for the more popular titles...

realistically how many Journey restorations are going on? what I would recommend is doing a DVD based on the model type... or manufacture to be more specific

like do a " Bally DVD " this covers the MCR... Journey, Tron, Tapper ect... you have some of the machines to edit into the DVD the unique items that each machine will have like CPO ect... this will make the DVD more useful as its not one machine specific... ( you could even hookup with other of your local friends that might have the games you don't have in the basement for the machine coverage )

you can do the same with your Nintendo lineup... or Atari's ect...

I also agree on mastering your own DVD or I would further... step up to  Blu-ray... burners are cheap now, so is the media... Blu-ray will avoid your video time limitations...

ok, so I got my missing A board and a few extras for backup, some minor issues ( sound or video ) but I figure they will make for good wall art...

I'm all for donating and supporting but asking me to donate before I can contribute & be part of the group of what I am donating to seems stupid to me atleast

its 2014 an you can't say they don't have viable secure forum logins anymore, I don't think John has a problem here with robo spammers on this forum

and like I have read, donating didn't help others get an user account validated either...
