Hello, Well we are all still learning this stuff, I have a small understanding of electronics even as a small kid. 😃 It is fun as long you don't see smoke, then that's bad lolol. Thanks for the comment.

You need to watch my disassembly video. It shows you what to do. New Wave Toys Zoltar Disassembly Video #1 Thank you for the comment.

That would be a reprogramming on the unmarked integrated circuit that we would not have access to. So no can't mod the source code that makes Zoltar run.

Scott yes it looked like it, good job. Did you get the pic I sent on FB NWT group???

@@mikecomptech Yes, but I don't know where it went...

The camera makes it look way brighter than it really is, in person it looks great! Very evenly lit and more detailed. You are talking about the full time lighting would have been a nice option on the original design. Yes I agree but maybe they thought it would drain the battery even faster. That's why I added that feature myself, and so far I have had it on battery only in attract mode and it went way past 5Hr's just the attract mode, cabinet lights always on, and not running the full mode and dispensing tickets. After 5Hr's the blue LED power light on the back was not blinking. When you are on battery power, if the battery falls below a certain level that LED will blink. Ticket reverse was a option that was easy to design and incorporate. Everyone has there way of doing things, and it works really good. About the battery current, that could be done easily as well. Adding a 18650 dual cell like a 4400mah battery would be easy plenty of room in the bottom of the cabinet. This would be a good install, will do testing on this as well. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09CH9FC35?th=1 I also agree the IR should have been on with the attract mode enabled as well yes. So it would trigger on movement and speak every 5 mins. I thank you for your comments, more videos are coming....

Yea that's what I thought I used to see that on my Nexus 7 tablet many years ago. And since then I found out that NWT do indeed use a Android core to run there custom emulator Very cool.... Thanks for the comment...

Yes they do they cover the screws with stickers you can rub over them with your finger, and you can feel the indentation. All you can do is try it out and see which ones can or can not work without the battery connected. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks so much, it's fun to do this and do it to possibly help someone in the process. Thank you for the comment, lots more content coming....

You are the first one to comment on that clown head running on a disco LED light, lolololol 🤣 I am surprised that most of my comments were not saying something about the creepy clown in the background. My wife said when she is in the shop that thing is hideous. I think it's funny. Thanks so much for the comment. Lots more content coming. Might be without the clown head, ok how about I shut it off. Thanks again have a good weekend....👍

TRAV!!!!!!!!!!!! I do have other Arcades running in the other room in the shop. One of them is Metamorphic Force arcade. I heard it say "Heave" I heard something probably plastic I may have hit my light. I was not me if that's what you mean lololol 😃💩💩💩 Thanks for the comment, more to come....

No problem I love doing this and sharing my mods with everyone. More content coming.

Thank you for the comment. More content coming..

Ah thanks so much, greatly appreciated, what mods you want just curious? I mean it's unlimited what you can do to these, I waited like most 1.5 years for it. Thanks for the comments. The camera doesn't do it justice looks much better in person. This thing is begging to be modified, I kept one original.😃

@@mikecomptech I'd probably want all the lighting changes. I'm less interested in the ticket dispenser, but after watching your video I thought -- wouldn't it be cool if when it dispensed wishes, it instead sent a signal to a little display (or some raspberry pi setup) that sat next to it and showed a random wish in text form, with text to speech using Zoltar's voice? A boy can dream...

@@theZeroSleepYT Yea exactly what I mean, unlimited. Text to speech Zoltars AI generated speech. 😃 A scrolling display right above Zoltars head running horizontal.

@@mikecomptech oh yeah -- could use one of those cheap little projectors

oh wait, you meant on the inside -- yeah, that'd be badass

Yes indeed 😋I did. I like to see who is being observant. The Tinker Toys worked perfectly, once I leveled all the posts. Had to have a stand for it to sit on, as all the wires exit vertically. The Zoltar in the background has a problem, if you noticed the current draw on the power supply is fluctuating a little so we have a little binding internally, so I will be disassembling it on You Tube another video. Thank you for the comment. Stay tuned.

Thank you I appreciate that, I like it best that way as well. Thanks for the comments. More to come.

Thanks for the comment it's a lot of fun. Lots more to come as well.

I show on my wiring diagram that all the resistors are indeed connected at one end, that's the connection that goes to the new ground I made on the main board.

@@mikecomptech Thanks. I don't know how to read wiring diagrams so I appreciate the info!

@@gilbreen No problem glad to help you out. Thank you for the comments.

​@@mikecomptech I was wondering if you could take a picture top down on the wiring on the switches, I can almost read the schematics. I have it installed, but not complete. Any help appreciated..

@@scottmcmillan711 Hi Scott congrats on getting the switches and mounted on the back of Zoltar. If you purchased the same switches I used then orientate them just like I drew them on my diagram I will post the pic on the NWT FB forum, so look there.

Ok that's pretty cool, I watched your video on Dollar Tree has a voice-controlled lamp for $1.25. Turn ON-OFF, DIM, Brightness & Color. So I will be looking for the other one you do. Thank you for the comments and the info on the light. And see if I can find it at my local DT store. 😄

Yes it is, if you watch this video and take your time, you can fix this. 😀 Good luck and feel free to let me know if you were successful. Thanks for the comment.

I had the same issue with mine. Removed all the tiny screws from the back and reached in to dislodge it. Fairly easy aside from the fact that the plastic is extremely soft and most of the plastic threads came out on the screws upon removal.

@@patalexander4624 So that's unfortunate indeed. I have several of these taken all them apart to fix various things very miner, mostly the fringe and a little nylon fibers from the fringe. All screws performed great all backed out no plastic threads, I know what you are talking about. If your screws are stripped out, get some plastic tooth picks snap off a little bit of the plastic tooth pick, incert that into the screw hole. And thread in the screw these are self tapping screws, be sure to clean off the old plastic on the screw before you reinsert the screws, this will work. Done it many times, hope this helps you......😀

You are correct, I have another one that is original not modified it's perfect. I love it. But it is fun to be creative. Me and others like to do this as a curiosity and a desire to explore new ways of doing things and to see what develops in the process.

@@mikecomptechPlease keep making the videos, they are very interesting and informative!

@@mikecomptech Thank you, sir.

@@mikecomptech How about the one's for the lamps?

@@ozzy1887 The light fixtures are the Zoltar originals I modified them to fit the new LED's.

@@mikecomptech Hi, maybe I'm a little confused. What yellow candlelight bulbs did you use for the lamps?

Thank you very much. Glad it all worked out. 😃

Thank you for the comment. Yes you can have it plugged in all the time, doesn't hurt the battery.

Thank you for the positive comment, stay tuned for more..😄

No problem, thank you for the comment.

Thank you for the comment, a lot more coming.

@mikecomptech 0 seconds ago Thank you, much appreciated. I will be showing it more with the new LED lights setup. Lots more to come.

Thank you, much appreciated. Stay tuned lots more to come.

Thank you NewWaveToys much appreciated. Yes please share it. I love contributing my knowledge to others. I am going to be doing more mods stay tuned. 😃

That may be coming later thanks for the comment.

🤣Yes I have one coming. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you much appreciated. Lots more coming!!

Thank You, stay tuned much to come. ;-)

Thank You, stay tuned much to come. ;-)

Hi Chloe, Please keep posted on your progress, this interests me a great deal. Thank you for watching.

Thank You, stay tuned much to come. ;-)

I used a Multimeter one side was the positive battery terminal and the other was the solder pad on the little circuit board. I found it using the multimeter. Thank you for the comment....

Oh I love this this Zoltar waited 1.5 years for it. I love it so much I have 4 of them. The one that's in my collection is staying all original. And one still unopened. Thanks for the comment.

@@mikecomptech I have two on the way. Very much looking forward to getting Zoltar...

Thanks for watching mrwrister. ;-)

Trav, There you are Thank You, stay tuned much to come. ;-)

I have had this car since 1974 then they were not expensive when purchased used. Can't believe what they want for some of these cars now.

I used a variable 1-30 VDC power supply up to 10 amp output. Thank you for watching ;-)

I posted a slo mo jump. Thank you for watching.
