Restore/Replace/Repair Free from Amazon, easy fix.

About a year ago I was doing some work a Amazon, as a Contractor. They asked if we could throw away this Arcade game, as the screen was not working. Not wanting to throw it away, I asked if ai could take it home, and they had no problem with me taking it.

So for the year it had sat in my storage facility until we bought a home. Well that day finally came and today I had some time to take a look at it and soon as I opened the back of the game, I noticed that the screen was not plugged in, lol.

This became one easy fix. It will now have a place in our TV/gaming room.

What Game??? Custom Built Arcades

• Upvotes

Good evening, everyone. I'm looking for some help. A few years back, I saw an arcade builder on a YouTube channel. It might have been Metal Jesus, or the Game Chasers. This builder took actual vintage boards and restored them, and turned them into either 1/2 or 3/4 size machines and the back of the machine had the board displayed behind acrylic, and lit up so that you can see the actual motherboard. Does this ring any bells for anyone? I've been searching, but so far I had no luck. I appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Thank you.

Showing Off My Gear! Modded ALU

2 Upvotes

modded ALU

Modded ALU

from top to bottom:

external usb for bit lcd-easy to take out usb to add more art work from computer.

bit lcd

2 custom labeled LED light speakers with Led zeppelin labels (I have Yankee speakers also)

LEDbuttons with decal player 1, player 2, rewind and coin

Bat joysticks with Yankees and Devils emblems around the bottom

Steering wheel on player 2 spinner (can be moved to player 1 spinner with Alan key), for driving and racing games

LED light trackball

Sonos bluetooth surround sound speaker with 48" stand-slight delay with video but worth it for the sound/bass it adds-barely noticeable delay

remote control holder on right side

Red LED coin box-non functional for coins but can start games by pushing 25 cent buttons/add coin

Super console X android box for casino games, watching tv or playing PlayStation and other consoles.

5" riser

"PAC-man Cave" swivel stool

8 port USB A box underneath control deck so the USB with 4450 games on it auto connects once I turn the ALU on.

This didn't happen over night. A lot of planning went into this and I bought many items separate and had to wait for long (up to 1 month for items that were shipped from China 2 years ago/before tariffs, war, etc so God knows how long and how much more expensive it is now.

Restore/Replace/Repair Tips?

Hi all, got running my ps5 on a old cabinet I bought with a busted flashed memory, I wanted to ask for pointers on making custom artwork covers for the cabinet what to look for in terms of materials, references, templates, apps? I live in Costa Rica so not sure what options I might have locally or if it would make more sense to order online.

Cheers!

P.S. I've seen some very sick cabinets in this sub 🤯

I got this machine from my grandfather who passed away earlier this year. Can anyone tell me any information on this machine? Also, is there any way to get through this lock on the back so I could take it apart? The machine currently doesn’t work

Hey Ya'll Check This Out! Documenting repair experiences with Hyperspace Arcade / Patrick Scott Patterson — evidence archive and documentary

Title: Documenting repair experiences with Hyperspace Arcade / Patrick Scott Patterson — evidence archive and documentary

I’m Colin Receveur. After a disputed arcade-monitor repair with Hyperspace Arcade / Patrick Scott Patterson, I started organizing the records from my experience and looking into other customers’ accounts.

My case involves a Wells Gardner K7000 chassis. Patterson stated that it had passed burn-in testing before returning it. I reported a pop and smoke after reinstalling it, and a subsequent technician described additional issues and repairs. Patterson disputes responsibility and maintains that he tested the chassis and offered warranty inspection. The correspondence, technician accounts, and his responses are included in the archive.

As I researched, I found other reports scattered across forums, eBay, Google, Yelp, and the BBB. I built PatrickScottPattersonReview.com to bring those accounts and their supporting material into one place.

The archive currently contains 26 published case files, with 9 additional accounts awaiting information before they can be fully documented. Reported issues include:

  • Equipment allegedly not returned.
  • Incomplete repairs or continued faults after return.
  • Extended turnaround times and unanswered follow-ups.
  • Disputes over refunds, missing parts, and packaging.

The evidence varies by case. Some include correspondence, payment screenshots, photographs, or technician accounts; others are public reviews with limited supporting documentation. Business responses, reported refunds and returns, and favorable experiences are retained.

I’m also producing a planned 24-part documentary series. Episode 1, “The Burn-In Claim,” covers my repair dispute. Its follow-up, “His Response vs. the Record,” addresses Patterson’s public response alongside the records presented in the video. Both are available now, and Episode 2 is planned for release within a week.

I’m a party to one of these disputes, so I want that clear from the start. The purpose of publishing the sources is to let people examine the record themselves, including disputed points and gaps.

Have you had a good or bad experience with Patrick or Hyperspace Arcade?

I’d welcome your account, supporting records, corrections, or an updated outcome. Successful repairs and resolved complaints matter, too. Please use the submission form for private documents rather than posting personal details here.

The House of the Dead is out in VR.

Thank you again for Time Crisis: we're now 294 on the Discord, and your bug reports and wishes shape every releases and updates.

This time you're in the Curien mansion, at real scale, in the game's own 3D, and the zombies walk right up to you. Your gloved hand holds the gun, and your shots land on what you hit (a zombie, a wall, or far away in the sky when you miss), with the red blood of the cabinets we had in Europe.

Coming next: Time Crisis II, Daytona USA, Dirt Dash, Top Skater, Sega Super GT 24h and Virtua Racing.

Time Crisis II is out in VR.

Thank you for House of the Dead last night: we're now 295 on the Discord, and your bug reports and wishes shape every release and update.

This time you're in the restaurant and the town square of the first stage, at real scale, in the game's own 3D, and the soldiers come right at you from behind tables, cars and doors. Take cover like on the cabinet: hold the pedal button, or crouch for real. Your gloved hand holds the gun, and your shots land on what you hit (a soldier, a wall, a car).

Coming next: Daytona USA, Dirt Dash, Top Skater, Sega Super GT 24h and Virtua Racing.

I have an arcade console (in a briefcase-style case) that I bought in Argentina, and I’m missing the original operating system. Just to clarify, I already downloaded the two images for my "Austar L01" from the internet, but they didn’t work. I’ve managed to get it running using "Reg Linux," but it doesn’t recognize the device’s controls. I need some help, please.

Wells-Gartner K4900 in a Joust cabinet. It’s got RGB, Ground, V and H Sync on a 6 pin connector. I don’t have a working game in it right now so I’d like to hook something up to it to be able to test the monitor and fine tune the adjustments.

Hello! I’m currently looking for an og bromley manual for my Colorama that I got a few months ago. My Colorama currently doesn’t run and after replacing the transformer I’m pretty sure it’s another issue that the manual or maybe someone on here can help me resolve. I tried buying the one pictured on Coin Op Parts .com but they sent me the wrong manual and just straight up scammed me. Any help is appreciated!
