Be sure to check all voltages before connecting the pcbs. Double check the wiring/pinout against the manual.

I've been watching videos of Johns Arcade. I thought I watched them all but apparently not. Hoping for some new content soon. Patience is a virtue!

I am called Isaac and I've been into the arcade collecting hobby for nearly 6 years. I don't remember if I ever introduced myself before but if not, here we go! Right now I have 22 games, a broke claw machine that I'll get to...someday, and an Iceball machine. All my video arcade games are from the 80s. I only collect games I've enjoyed when I was younger or games I think are fun. I have had some 90s games like NBA Jam and House of the Dead but ended up selling those for some iconic 80s games.

I'm currently jumping between a few projects which include a Dig Dug, Battlezone, Gauntlet, and Tron. Tron and Gauntlet are playable but need art and maybe some tweaking. My Battlezone monitor needs fixed to play. Dig Dug needs serious cabinet work and at this point is just an empty cabinet.

I'm an electrician doing mostly commercial and industrial work but do residential once in awhile. I have a wife and two adult sons that I drag with me whenever I need help picking up games. The road trips are nice.

I also collect nostalgic toys, electronics, and whatever reminds me of what I consider better times... at least in my life. I guess that's enough about me. I'm looking forward to hanging out in John's Arcade. Let's make this a kickass year!

Digital media/online downloads are ridiculous. Essentially all entertainment is going to online subscription services so you never really own anything. I recently started watching older movies like Nightmare on Elm Street, Rambo, etc..., and they are either unavailable or its required to rent them. I purchased these movies on DVD for about the same price it was to rent on Amazon video. I'll store them and watch anytime I want. Using a service like Amazon video you are given a short time to watch/finish watching before your time expires. NEVER buy a game or movie on these subscription services because they can update their service anytime and it could be unavailable.

Subscription services are usually a horrible decision. Buy games and movies on physical media to avoid getting screwed.

Bare and a layer of rust. I'll keep it inside so it doesn't get any worse.

This is a Dig Dug control panel that was treated very poorly and converted to an Altered Beast cp. It's still populated. I just have no use for it as I'm deconverting it back to a Dig Dug. Im in Phoenix Arizona.

I posted a question about where I could find these in another thread. I guess I should look better before asking...
