1  Tech and Marketplace / For Sale / Wanted / Frogger Arcade Game, works great, all original. $650 on: June 14, 2017, 11:32:36 pm
Pics and video of this machine working are available. In original cabinet, everything works but coin door, but all there and original. Cabinet has typical wear and tear for these Frogger cabinets.

THanks!
3  Tech and Marketplace / I need help with my game! - Technical Discussion / The basics: What are the key 4-5 items that have to work for machine to work? on: March 28, 2017, 04:08:26 pm
So I used to build pc's and sell them, then taught Cisco Networking at a votech. So an old tower computer had a motherboard, power supply, hard drive, and either built in video or a video card. Those components got you fired up, then you needed a media drive to install an operation system. Without any of that it wasn't going to work. And a monitor of course. So what are those key things in these old cabinets. Obviously, power supply, pcb board, crt, I would assume with those three things I should get something? BUt that is basically what you get with a jamma kit right? ps/jamma board/wiring harness, assuming a crt you have is good, so what are the basic things that if they don't work, then I get nothing? Because right now my power supply checks out perfectly, all hookups appear to be right, but I get nothing at all. No lights, no sound, nothing. Thanks in advance.

THanks guys, its surely not an original cabinet, https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4qyCj4EfQj1NlI1ZDRaajhPRG8?usp=sharing been fooling with it today, replaced all bulbs, checked ps voltages, all is good, but nothing works. Zero power to anything. Not sure where to go from here, kind of wanted to know what worked and what didn't before I bought the jamma converstion kit.
5  Tech and Marketplace / I need help with my game! - Technical Discussion / Power supply checks out fine w/Fluke. Still no power, no lights. on: March 27, 2017, 04:14:10 pm
I replaced every bulb, every fuse. Nothing. Not a sound not a buzz nothing. Now on the powersupply there is no ground wire, there is a field ground, but no ground. Everything else is hooked up. There is a toggle switch on top of cabinet, but it doesn't effect the power supply one way or the other, nor the lighting. No monitor power on either. I feel like something could be missing. PIcs of cabinet interior are at the following address:

I may go with a jamma and all new stuff, but wanted to know what I had working and not working before I did. Thanks.

I have seen some on amazon with power supply for less than $100. That was wiring kit, ps, and card. What else will I need? I mainly only care about a few of the classics, donkey kong, ms.pacman, galaga, etc; also what decals are there for these multi game units? Thanks in advance!

Yes it is very heavy. We got it up the stairs and into my office though! I am so excited guys! This thing is all original, monitor, boards, everything, fires right up, kids and I played it right away. So cool watching my teenagers and my 6yo son play it. They had never really played a vintage machine. I'd say cabinet is in excellent shape considering its age, however the bottom front right corner is missing some wood grain laminate, and a few scratches but very good overall, IMO. Not crumbling at all. Appears to have all original graphics. It was in a church youth group classroom. They sold it to make room for a stage or something. This machine makes me realize just how rough that Ms.Pacman I bought is. Probably convert to a multi-game. Anyway, pics and possibly video coming tomorrow of this awesome Facebook yard Sale site find!

Does that mean it will only play Pacman and not Ms.pacman?

By spending a few minutes on google images, it appears my cabinet may have began life as Joust???

Well that is disappointing to hear, but I just added a side pic to see if you guys can guess the cabinet. Checking voltages tomorrow with electrician friend on powersupply and fuses. I will keep you posted. The side pic can be seen at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4qyCj4EfQj1ZTI2RW1hVFREUWc
