Nanao MS9 repair complete! One of the pads was burned off the chassis color adjustment pots (Green). Replaced all of the pots and ran a jumper, and we are back up and running! #arcade #repair #crt

If anyone is in Orlando this weekend, stop by Free Play Florida and say hi! I'll be around the Tampa Arcade Club area most of the weekend. #arcade

We have this title at my arcade in Tallahassee, FL. Flippin' Great Pinball. Really fun game!

Spotted on my Toyota service advisor's desk. What a champion. #speedyspeedboy

But, the game is back up and running!

This had some leaky caps and a bad switch.

Both PVMs fired up! One doesn't have a working control board, and one started smoking! Time to do some research!

Good news! Phantom Limb is healthy! The vet was surprised she survived outside as well as she did.

Took me a while to catch her, but everyone say hi to our new 3 legged Kitty, Phantom Limb!

Our wedding invites were made with real NES carts from a local game store. I made an extra for the store and they keep it on their retail shelf :)

What I've been up to : BVM testing, MVS 6 Slot testing, MVS Ram errors, and new Cheez-It testing.

I got it as a gift from a friend. It needs a LOT of love.

System 18 Multi is finally acting proper!

It took me a bit to get used to it. I push down on the plastic actuator to release tension then the small flat head can fit in the e-clip gaps and twist. I think I learned it from the SRK Forums a while back.

I've always just used a small flat head to "twist" slightly and the clips will come out slowly. Then use some smaller channel locks to "click" them back on. It works pretty well once you get used to it.

New Seimitsu buttons replace the brittle Sanwas and a new JLX2 on the Monster Stick.
