    I've never seen a red tent cocktail game until this video. This was a fun and new type of repair challenge to watch. I also played Excitebike too many hours on end to count on Nintendo back in the day. Yet another great video!

      RUclips is so funny, I’ve been making my way through Joe’s older videos, but I did not see this one until RUclips recommended this after I watched another video fixing a “red tent” for an arcade.

    Wow, this solved a mystery. In 80s anime shows, you'd sometimes see characters sitting at representations of these arcade games, but nobody I know ever knew what we were seeing. We've never seen the real machine. Just figured it was the show being weird. No. They were trying to show THIS type of cabinet! Now it makes a lot more sense.

    You were pretty close with the isolation transformer. Not a bad description overall. Isolation transformers are used in a lot of situations where there is a possibility of a chasis being live as it isolates the main supply completely from the secondary (load) side.
    Looking forward to this one being restored. I've never actually seen one of these in real life.

      They're getting much harder to find, we use to buy them pretty cheap 10 years ago but now not so much! Being Nintendo, they are pretty collectible, people adore Nintendo stuff.

    Looks like whoever changed the flyback and installed the cap kit didn't bother to clean the dust & dirt from around the anode cap on the Tube.. Also check to make sure the grounds from the tube are connected to the chassis. A missing ground wire will make the tube arc like that too.

    The NES PPU has composite video output but the Nintendo VS. System (and PlayChoice) PPU has RGB video output. Before the NESRGB mod, people were using the arcade PPUs for RGB-modding NESs.

    With the red tent you play two different games and play them all the way through.
    But the play choice it give the game you choose a time limit.

      They're not super rare but you don't see them much anymore, a lot of these games like this that are a little bigger (this one is almost twice the size of a regular cocktail)... some of these bigger games were the first ones the operators threw in the dump.

    I can't help but wonder if we're going to discover some sketchy work done by whoever repaired it the last time. Bad enough they only installed a cap kit on one side, and possibly did it _wrong_ to boot. On the plus side, at least it's only _half_ broken, which is better than _all the way_ broken. 😃

      It won't display on a PC monitor at all because the output is CGA and the PC monitors do VGA... but if you used a converter board to change that signal, the 'inverted' video isn't upside down, all the colors are reversed. It's the strangest thing you've ever seen... all the reds are green, all the blacks are white, etc.
