That tumbler is so hypnotic when it's spinning the walnut dust and metal pieces around... I could watch it all day... oh, and it removes the rust pretty well too :)
Haha that song at 28:00 was a surprise, wow it's a little screamier than most of your other stuff! Great demo of a parts tumbler, you really taught yourself some different crafts for this hobby.
Gotta say, I'm liking that the videos are as long and detailed as always but you speed up the less exciting stuff. Makes me feel like I missed nothing. Nice work as always.
One of the best tools to have in any arsenal is a Dremel Rotary Tool. I use mine all the time in my own restoration projects and it works wonders. You can get them both wired and/or wireless at just about any hardware store or even walmart for less than $40. There are a wide variety of bits and accessories you can get including small sanding wheels, wire wheels and polishing wheel bits. They are absolutely amazing to get rust off with and polish up parts in coin mechanisms, and just about anything else too. I would highly recommend it.
Nice idea on the tumbler. I've seen one before, friends of ours sold coins outside the Denver mint, they used some sort red looking dust and threw different sets of coins in the tumbler. It would get the coins so polished and shiny, they were like mirrors and you could see your reflection. Sooo if you get that red dust stuff, you can use it to get super shiny coins! Hey! Quarters for the arcade, shiny ones! lol Sorry, very random thought.
Love to see your progress, glad it's all coming together! Looks great!!
The tumbler action was surely quite epic! :)
Thanks again for another great info filled episode. Glad to see another coin door rebuild, it's not he same door I will be rebuilding but still has some great info on rebuilding a door.The tumbler also looks like it worked great. I was thinking about getting a sand blaster to clean up parts but the tumbler looks like it would be great for screws and small parts.
Awesome vid John. I have to restore a Tron door so this was very helpful. I really appreciate the time you take to explain everything. Thanks man!
Great video. Have self taught a lot of my building and electronics skills it's nice to see the techniques you employ to get the job done. Easily watched the whole thing :)
That coin door looks pretty sweet. Thanks for the heads up on the tumbler on Amazon. I was thinking about buying the Harbor Freight one myself. This one is awesome! Amazon also had a strainer listed by the same manufacturer. Not sure if the holes would be small enough to catch those parts but might be a decent option. If you're going to use a magnet, get one from the inside of an old hard drive. Really powerful and might be easier to find all the parts with.
Thanks for doing series of restorations. I'm really enjoying them.
That strainer I used in the video worked perfect. It was for vegetables or something. Caught all the tiny screws. I looked at the one at Harbor Freight. It was more expensive and looked smaller. I'm very happy with the one I got from Amazon.
Great vid as usual John - that tumbler works really well. I'm going to start calling you Johnny Switchblade now.
John about the audio quality at the end of the video it was good enough to hear you.
By the way awesome video man can't wait for part 10. I think you may be right it could definitely be your fly back .
the tumbler all so big with the metal detecting guys for cleaning coin`s and other finds :)
Thanks for this video. I was really hoping to see what you did with the coin door ground wire. I saw the flat black wire on your workbench and it looked like there was a broken part still attached to the right side of the inside of the door (under one of the screws). I had the same problem on my TRON's coin door. I wasn't sure if was sufficient to just attach the interior yellow grounding strap to one of the screws that attaches the coin door frame to the cabinet, or if I needed to reattach that black ground strap on the coin door itself (and connect it to the same frame screw where the other straps are)
Knife cred confirmed!
Thank you. :) I can't have people out there saying I have no knife cred. LOL.
Monitor gone Don't stop believin John lol
It's "I can't make heads or tails of it"
& nice video as always mate
So what happened with the monitor? Was it really a bad flyback?
Yellow is your 12 volts and the white is 5 volts. All you needed was to run a ground. You need to use a volt meter more when messing with wires. At least you will know the voltage and that will give you a clue where it goes.
Hey John, I'm new to your channel. Learning lots!! Thanks for all the great videos. Waldom makes a pin extractor tool that allows you to remove the pins once you put them in the molex connector. - Waldom W-HT-2038 Tool Extractor on Amazon.
Sweet! I'll check it out. Thanks for watching
Bummer.... You will get it going John.
Played it in person and it's a beaut! Can't wait to try it with the cassette player installed. Any idea where in the basement you're going to put it?
There is a space next to the Revenge From Mars for it. :)
80 to 90 percent complete!
Great video John, loving these restoration videos, bet you were gutted about the monitor dieing though. Hope you get it working soon if you haven't got it working already. :)
Been trying this game out on Mame on my Archos Gamepad, getting slowly better at it and quite enjoy it. :D
It's the kind of game it takes a few tries to really get into it.
Also can't wait to hear the cassette play at the end.
Thanks, man! I am not happy about the monitor at all. Pissed actually.
NICE!
I found a guy over here in denmark who sems to be the only person who actually build reproduction cabinets, his recent project where a mario brothers reproduction one looks like the original one but it was done in the typical donkey kong cabinet.
Hey John, I just found your channel - this is a great video! As far as your monitor problem, did you by chance replace the voltage regulator when you rebuilt that monitor? The B+ jumping up like that sounds like a bad regulator. Just a thought - but I'm no pro,
I did replace the voltage regulator. I have since fixed the monitor. It was the flyback.
coin counter is either a 12 or a 5 volt , I would say 12. You should make sure your wires coming from the harness are correct. Colors don't mean shit bro you know that. Retest the wires for voltage then run each one to its location. Not really very hard. Did I mention I fixed my arcade? Yeah sloppy wiring and rush job leads to problems down the road. Cleaned it all up. Mounted the chassis nice and clean. Redid the wires and secured them in a neat clean fashion. Took me 2 days. Oh and reflowed the solder on the chassis and it was all good. I was like thank God. Got a real old classic here , very rare to find working. It is more rare than Tron.
it's not rocks! it's minerals xD
Have you considered using electrolysis for removing rust?
just tap a 9v battery on the coin counter each way to find out what Pos and what Nag, it may have a diode in it so testing it first a good idea :) i use a 9v battery un-mark speaker`s and watch if it goes in or out to find pos or nag :)
Did you keep the old flyback? Remove X701 and see if it starts up. Check your HOT wiring/socket. If you smelt that horrible smell then something went up, if not probably an open resistor in the power section, also check F601 which is after B+.
James, I have a serious hunch it's the flyback. I can just feel it. :) There is no HV at all. Could be shut down, could be the flyback. I just ordered a new one, we'll see.
Ok well i've had that before with G07's and it wasn't the FB, If you still had the old one, drop that back in without any other changes and see if it boots up. I just had the craziest G07 power issue, turned out to be a smoothing cap near the FB (C511 open), the screen was doing some weird crap and 160v B+ unadjustable. I've done a video, it'll be on my games channel at the weekend.
Also heard about your ideas of a live hangout gaming stream, few of us in the UK might like to get involved if you're all up for it.
hey john if you need any asistense on journey let me know.
interesting ive never heard of tumblers, i wonder if ultrasonic cleaners work....for me id probably just use some ballistol and just soak everything in that for a while lol that shit works on everything
Hey check out tnt amusements on youtube there talking about mcr boards and you wont even guess what he is showing it on thats right a real journey complete you should see it
Cool, I saw it! :)
John it's ok dude dont sweat the microphone thing everybody makes mistakes even me ;) just keep doing what you're doing and being awesome that's all we fans of you care about
"I have another knife". Nooooo, you have a fucking bayonet. What are you doing with a bayonet, John? lol
I need knife cred!! I'm not messing around. ;)
YES
How to change machine from arcade tickets to hopper payout?
Help
19:05 John just use a magnet for the small parts.
Man. That sucks... Hope it gets fixed...
John, that wire harness is a mess... I guess my OCD would make me rewire the whole thing. lol.
Thinks so? I think I straightened out pretty good. :)
I've actually rewired these control panels before when they were hacked like this one. Believe it or not it's a ton easier than trying to unhack the existing wiring. Plus it is kinda fun going through it all.
***** Yeah, well.. I did do the control panel harness from scratch. Turned out great.
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Sorry now I see what I typed wrong. I meant the coin door. I've done those before and they are really simple. Actually easier than control panels. If you have more problems you should just redo it.
***** I fixed the original harness on the coin door (did not rewire the entire thing) but did the control panel harness from scratch in a previous video.
use a magnet to find the small parts :)
looks more like a rifle bayonet than a knife
Manual rivet guns are really cheap, 20 bucks here in australia.
Jake Perdue Yeah, I should get one.
Spoiler alert:
"I don't think I'm gonna do that... It's gonna be on freeplay anyways"
Spends 30 minutes doing it.
Lol not sure what you talking about but we shall see XD
john ya there?
hi
any asistense on journey?
Or head nor tail of it
i'm not complaning about you using twisers
Hey john your making EXCELLENT progess with this beauty! Cant wait to see the tape player! If you want a laugh go to my channel and view my latest video (i impersonate your intro in the beginning of the video @ :34) =P
bad luck
