Just found my new favorite channel. Subscribed! I love how you interact with the audience, that's unique and fun. I love all things arcade cabs, grew up in the 80s, and my room is a mini arcade, arcade1ups though, but nostalgic nonetheless. Popeye is classic! Look forward to watching more! Already watched the Pac Man and class of 81 videos. Great content, keep it up!
Thank you for watching see you again soon!
Joe, you can't let whateever Olive Oyl throws out sink to the bottom of the screen. Once that happens, the round ends and you lose a life. Just look at the bottom and see the broken heart down that. That's what Olive is all unhappy about.
Oh, and as a bit of trivia, Donkey Kong was the original Popeye game but King Features wanted too much money for the characters, so Brutus became Kong, Popeye became jumpman, and the girl became Pauline. Once DK was a smash hit, Nintendo was able to negotiate a better price and use the characters.
Thanks Rick
Your soldering looks great!
Speaking of caps, a neighbor recently tossed 6 desktop computers and a laptop. I recognized one machine since I had replaced the motherboard in it. Well, several capacitors vented out and others were dented. So that's time for a recapping. On a PC, it isn't always easy to replace them due to ground planes. In that case, you use a preheater or heat gun with the soldering iron.
In computers, it's sometimes a good idea to do destructive cap removal. Like on the newer solid and hybrid caps, some will take pliers, push down, and turn in order to prevent lifted traces. Then they deal with removing the leads. Adrian Black does it that way.
Capacitor choice can be complex at times. On old radios, they used mica capacitors in the RF section, and it is a challenge to find replacements. So you leave those unless you have "silver mica disease." You don't want to throw out the alignment so far that you cannot ever track it properly, or you are in another band entirely and missing some of the intended band. For other caps in such an old unit, nearly anything is better than what is there.
As for the new stuff like hybrids and solids, they have tradeoffs. If you need extreme temps (particularly cold), solids are good, but if you need "self-healing," then you'd want standard electrolytics or hybrids. And in some designs where electrolytics or hybrids are used, high-quality ceramics would be a better choice, particularly if cleaning up a board from corrosion/leakage. (I mean physical leakage here, not ESR or unintended conductivity.) On fixing an old Mac and changing surface mount caps, you are often better off removing the hybrid caps or electrolytics and using ceramic equivalents that will fit the pads. Then you never have to worry about them exploding or leaking electrolyte juice again. The electrolyte used in those is conductive and if a board doesn't work after changing those, it may need to be washed to remove what leaked onto the board.
Law of Diminishing Returns, sometimes 100% perfection requires an infinite amount of resources. "Make it an 8!"
What I've learned from Joe -
Start from the wall.
Power supply, power supply, power supply.
Make it an 8.
Love your videos! I'm currently repairing my Dragon's Lair. Watching all your videos have given me the inspiration to get it fixed after owning it 20 years.
Great job as always!
Thanks for the video Joe! Never played the game, but growing up in the 60' I watched a lot of Popeye! You and Ron have a good weekend! Catch you Tuesday!
Beautiful game.
I was lucky enough as a kid in the UK to play most of the original arcade games in their cabinets.
Loved Popeye, Guzzler Green Beret (Rush n attack) plus so many more. They even had a massive light gun cowboy themed shooting range great times to be a kid.
Great video thanks for sharing.
Perfection is the enemy of good.
Lovely looking cab. Great job 👍
Georgia just cracked down on arcade licenses. The Pinball Palace used to not pay license fees by charging a flat fee to play all day and having the games on free play but the state told them they need to now license all their machines now. Such BS. I wouldn't want that headache.
I knew that was eventually coming. Georgia is BAD about the licenses I'll have to tell my story in a video some day about that.
I knew eventually though they were going to close that loophole. It's probably not even the law, it's just the Georgia revenue guys throwing their weight around...
Yikes on the licensing price there! I just looked up Phoenix out of curiosity and it is $1.50 each month for each machine! ($3 minimum if you only have 1 machine).
🤫 Not to give 'em any ideas but, since coin counters are a thing, why isn't it a simple registration plus a percentage like other taxes?
Cool that you got those machines since you know how to fix 'em so their new owner will be good-to-go for years of fun! 😎 If I got one there's a good chance it would end up being a "future project" for an indefinite but looooong time! 😂
Another classic I used to play in the local arcade in the early '80s. The Silver Coin was its name. I went on to work there for a few years when I got old enough that they would hire me.
Power Supply, Power Supply, Power Supply.... and I ain't no hippy!!!
I hear you on the licensing. Even if you could get patrons to offset the licensing fees, they can't pay to replace your eardrums.
A good example of what my former supervisor liked to say: "The juice aint worth the squeeze!" 😂
I'm surprised they're still charging fees like that! "I wonder why there aren't more arcade games on location anymore even though people like them?", well, they done squeezed the well dry.
@@chadhartsees it got me curious as i live out in Nebraska and see at least some arcade games here and there. Nebraska got rid of the $250 fee in the year 2000 but you still have to register said machines yearly for a $0 fee, the only fee still in effect is an occupation fee per machine that was reduced in 2000 to $25 per year but you get a discount if the machine goes into operation after July 1st.
Gotta agree with ya on taking it to an "8". I want a 40 year old cab to look nice, but not like it rolled off an assembly line yesterday. If it aint got cigarette burns, then it aint from the 80s.
You've done an awesome job Joe! Also, I'm with you on the scoring, I'd rather have an honest 8 than an over the top 10 👍
The hardware was very atypical of Nintendo at the time. It has no ASICs or expensive ECL logic. It even uses an AY-3-8910 for sound. It does, however, have a bunch of bipolar ROM/RAM in it, including a couple of special RAM chips which are extremely difficult to source/replace.
Beautiful job Joe!
Really enjoyed this arcade at Shakey's Pizza in Elk Grove Village, Illinois back in the mid to late 80's. Got all the way up to and finished the 3rd level (ship level). I also watched the cartoons on reruns while getting ready for school in the mornings .
I remember playing this game down the shore way back when lol
When a heart (level 1) a music note (level 2) or one of the letters that spell HELP (level 3) reaches the bottom of the screen, that is when the music changes. It is to let you know that you need to get the heart. music note, or letter quick. As you saw, when the heart sank too low, it broke in half and Olive was reading you the riot act Preventing this from happening is one of the many challenges of the game.
I wait for these videos. Keep them coming.
Way back when Popeye was a side character in the vintage Betty Boop cartoons before becoming a mainstream character with his own line of cartoons. Mae Questel voiced Betty Boop and was the original voice for Oilve Oyl. Mae reprised her role as Betty in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The last thing Mae did before her passing was in the Movie National Lampoons Christmas Vacation as Aunt Bethany.
As for the arcade game, Miyamoto-san wanted Popeye to be his first and have the gameplay a lot like Donkey Kong, but at the time he was unable to obtain the rights. This is when he created Donkey Kong. There is a story behind that Big Ape that if it wasn't for Nintendo's lawyer at the time finding just one little flaw in Universal Studios' lawsuit, , Donkey Kong would not exist today.
Absolutely LOVE this game! It is one of my “go-to” games for testing out newly acquired Commodore 64’s! If you were closer, I’d have to buy this one. Fantastic job cleaning it up! 🥰
Great work Joe. Really good colour match with Donkey Kong blue. I hear you about the difference between an 8 and a 10. ….I think a lot of folks want to improve their games in some way anyway. Leaving the side art makes good sense. Pretty good Popeye impersonation too!
I watched some of the popeye skit on a vhs with my now deceased grand mother when i watch them it reminds me of her same when i smell cigarette smoke
Nice looking cab and always liked the popeye game pretty fun.
I only ever played Popeye on the ColecoVision console. Fun game!
The Popeye machine is in very nice shape 😊 I see where your coming from keeping things an 8. I personally wouldn't want it so pretty I'm afraid to play it.
Played it and watched it as a kid! 🫡
Aftee you punch Brutus with spinach power up, you can also hit the punching bag to knock the bucket on his head. Just wait for him to come out of the water as he always moves towards the center. It'll buy you a little time to catch up on collecting ❤.
Looks great Joe! Fun game! Nice job!
Thanks!
Great video game. I remember playing it after school at the old pizza place in town.
Enjoyed the video Joe. Popeye is a great game.
bought the machine back in '05 for $250, after 10 years I was sick of Popeye, and did a full on teardown and restore of the cabinet and swapped it to Donkey Kong, I get allot more play now. Though I didn't chop anything up so I still have Popeye in a box and a quick flip of the monitor and a quick swap of the Power Supply I could play Popeye again.
The more of the original parts you can keep, the better it is, in my opinion. As long as it isn't falling apart, but hey even falling apart unmodified machines can still carry more value compared to some machines with blatent external after-market replacement bits. Like replacing a original console shell with a cheap looking transparent shell.
This screwdriver drawer... epic :D
23:29 Having a big ole' Joe head coming out of the machine like some 3D horror game was one of the scariest things I've ever seen. 😅
Coming soon to a theatre near you!
A $250 per game license? The state must've had politicians who hated arcades.
Interesting that you called him Brutus and not Bluto. There was a weird licensing thing about the name for a period of time. I THINK that they called him Bluto in this game? Maybe. I do remember playing this game constantly at Chuck E Cheese/Showbiz pizza. Thanks for fixing this one up and making a video of it. I appreciate it.
I was going to say Bluto but I looked down and the instructions said Brutus, I Guess I should of shown and mentioned it in the Video, Thanks for watching!
@@LyonsArcade Interesting
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
If you think I’m going to watch you repair an arcade machine for 49 minutes you have lost your…..49 minutes later 😂
Was my favourite game of 82/83. They had it in an arcade at a place called woolacombe, Devon, south west England and you virtually had to queue to get on it! Often played xevious which was new and next to it!
Thanks for the great video and the story about getting it. Always thought there should have been a jump button on this game.
That chair looks 75 years old. 5:08
The black chair with 4 roller legs, less safe than the one behind it with five
It's probably about 65 years old, Its a Tanker Chair, will outlive both of us for sure. I've had it about 20 years now

Can't blame you for not wanting to start an arcade. Seems like a maintenance nightmare.
Not to mention, heavy electricity costs and its impact on the environment unless you switch to solar power.
My first experience with the Popeye game was on the Commodore 64. It was a very faithful port of the game and had all the levels and music. I don't remember getting to play the actual arcade game back then.
Re: Arcade game licenses, were conversion kits and multi-game systems like Neo-Geo MVS a way to get new games into the arcade without having to pay for another license, since you mentioned they were purchased for specific machines and couldn't be rotated?
The kits were mainly so you didn't have to buy an entire other machine (cabinet, wiring, control panel, coin door, monitor, etc.) so you saved like a grand by just buying the kit instead of the whole game.
Remember Popeye?...I have this machine too, lots of fun 😊
buy it, fix it, sell it, its broke, love all these sayings, great video as always
Still waiting for you guys to do that Sharp Shooter EM rifle game in the background!
One of these days, Thanks for watching!
A lot of times, folks only change what is involved in HV, PSU, and deflection. Other caps don't take as much of a beating.
Speaking of PSU, I've had a tech tell me that sometimes they require a matched set in a switching PSU or the circuit may refuse to oscillate. I've never encountered that.
And washing PCBs is more for specialized problems such as corrosion and insect infestation.
Good video Joe , Love that Popeye 😊
Damn fine looking game, and one of my favorites.
It came out really well! I have similar scuff marks on my pinball but I'm terrified of sanding too much and ruining it further, plus I've never done repainting and the worst scuff marks I have are right in the middle of the side art, so I need to practice on something. Where I live (Italy) I don't seem to be able to find "bondo" specifically, is there any other wood filler you recommend or any particular material characteristic I should look for? (Also if I may give a suggestion, add an amazon Italy link in the description in addition to the other countries!) Thank you as usual for the great content!
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Kenny’s Classic Video Games!
When I first seen this video game, was something special about it to me. Later found out , it had high resolution graphics for a raster game.
8.5 Joe! Looks great to me, well done Joe. Just Right! BTW in my youth I played the hek out Popeye at the beach in Surf City, NC
This might be the same one!
Always wanted this one!
What do you think about the mic on your new camera. It seems to move your voice around from left to right and sometimes sounds like you are either in front of or behind the camera.
Joey did this one, it's on his iphone and it records with a different microphone depending on where you're holding it I guess... when I use the other one I always kind of keep it in the same place or it would probably do the same thing
@@LyonsArcadeyeah I figured that is what happened. The iPhone has a couple mics to record in stereo. They also make this thing you plug into the charging port that has a wireless lapel mic you clip on your collar of your shirt. I have been wanting to try one of those when recording with my phone.
I remember the movie with Robin Williams, lol.
LOL Joe kept missing Olives hearts... Come, Come on Joe!
Great job joe ❤
Did you miss C606 (the BIG cap next to the heat sink)? I didn't see it on your table and the solder points looked original in your "after" video.
No I didn't miss that one I saw it there
I have one I did something similar to it turned out amazing
Used play this game in folkestone arcades on the sea front back in the day, sadly all gone now
Wish I still had the 2 arcades I did have back in the day. I owned a Beast Busters and a Desert Tank. We moved and down sized our home years ago and I coupsnt sell them to save my life😂 back in 2010. I ended up selling them for $60 for the pair cause I didnt have room for them and wasnt just going to sit them at the road for trash. I even had to sell my "L" shape mahogany bar😢 cause there was no room for it either. At least all 3 items probably got used since then.
I don't think you asked in the video about whether the name should be Brutus or Bluto.
Nintendo used the name Brutus for the bearded miscreant.
As to whether both names applied to the same person, this isn't actually true. According to a 1980s comic they were two separate people.
Interestingly, the same comic gave Popeye's real name. One of the best pieces of trivia of 20th century culture.
You can't let the hearts hit the water. The music changes when there's one down there and you'll see it flashing. You'll die if you don't get it in time.
I watched the Popeye cartoons as a kid, but I never played the game
I found it a couple of times, but it was hardly ever in arcades or stores, so I was never able to git gud at it.
12:18 “ when we touch, when we kiss”
Popeye had crazy high res sprites for that time. It's too bad Nintendo never really followed up with another platformer that looked as good as this. Sure, Mario Bros was neat, but it didn't look as good as Popeye in my opinion.
I'm Popeye the sailor man. I'm Popeye the sailor man.
I'm strong to the finish 'cause I eats me spinach.
I'm Popeye the sailor man.
A job well done. 😎
Nice 😎😎
should charge extra for those cigarete burns that relicing , you could have said you were just practiceing your darth vatder impersination with reguard to the heavy breathing sounds
Is that the same sanyo in a red tent?
It's slightly different
On the bottom right of the screen, is that Link from Zelda?
bondo, Bondo, BONDO!
That you know that you definitely gonna have to replace the power supply at least
I think it's a ten.
@@ozratman agreed 👍🏼
Hey Joe!!
Hey Jason!
In Arcade , and Collico vision
I can tell by the way it is that the cap on the sound board is broke.
Pinball is not gambling. History has already told us why it is treated as such still?
Do you guys remember the lazarian video ?
It's BROKE ❤️
i have never seen the second board.
I watched the tv show
Yodelayheehoo
I hope that you eat your spinach!
How dare you assume that the mutually agreed upon price should be what you pay.
You lose a life qhen the heart goes too far into the water.
Hear me out now.... Fill a mobile home with arcade and pinball games. Free Play. 4 hours of access for every sink you buy......
It's not a great idea. However, at least it's an idea, it's better than no idea :)
@@LyonsArcade if you check your bank account, I credited you double the money back to you for that idea 😆
The "service outlet" inside the arcade cabinet is NOT isolated mostly, why is this "service outlet" isolated using an isolation transformer? If you look on the schematics of most pinball games and arcade games the Service outlets are on the primary side of the transformer is its NOT isolated
Look at a Nintendo Schematic, Totally different ball game
@@LyonsArcade To bad you didn't show the schematic on the video because I'm curious to see it now to learn from it. That is unusual that Nintendo would put the service outlet AFTER the isolation transformer. Its call a Service Outlet or a Monitor outlet?
🤔 Did they do that so the outlet inside the machine could always be the same voltage as Japan uses two different voltages depending on which part of the country? A little different hookup in any case! 🙂
Bro his name was Bluto, not Brutus. Not being a jerk. Love your vids.
Bro They call him Brutus in the game, Thanks for watching
Bluto not Brutus!
He's called Brutus in the game :) I figured someone would say that
Both names were used over the years.
Is that what you want to see? Does that do it for you? ruclips.net/video/eg1sptdwLmU/видео.html 😂
