Re: Introduce yourself here!
Hello everybody. Benjamin from france 39 years old.
I fell in the arcade with double dragon. I love this game. I remember playing with my brother on holidays.
Some other games too like the first turtles, robocop, double dragon 2 and operation wolf for example.
It was great memories.
Since 3 years maybe more, I start to pick up my favorite game with a supergun thanks to a friend. And now i like to talk and discover old games.

Re: Introduce yourself here!
Hi, I'm just starting to get into arcade repair. I've fixed a bunch of 8- and 16-bit computers and blogged about it, but the arcades are pretty tempting.
At the risk of being way too ambitious, my first projects are:
Happy to be here!
At the risk of being way too ambitious, my first projects are:
- a Neo-Geo 1-slot that needed some small battery damage repair and a universe bios. Come to think of it, I should get around to burning that BIOS...
- a Sega ST-V board that I found without a bus terminator board installed - I designed a quickie board for it
- an Arkanoid bootleg having an I/O error (probably whatever the equivalent of a coin hybrid) – I have to also build a spinner for this
- a stack of five Sega System-24 boards from Yahoo Auctions - I plan on building a floppy board for this (almost done) and also a ROM/copy-protection board (very scary, not even started) so I can eventually play Bonanza Bros. I may also get rid of a floppy board + mainboard combo to a friend who wants to play Gain Ground. Of course, these things only happen if any of these main-boards are not total junk.
Happy to be here!

Hey everyone! I've collected arcades for about a decade now and just got my first (hopefully, of many) candy cab. I'm incredibly excited about my New Net City and look forward to getting to know the community.

Erm, I mean… whatever, I’m like, all cool and not bothered. Welcome, I suppose.
(Seriously, huge fan!! The screen(s) on that X-men blew my mind. At first glance I thought it was some crazy ultra wide CRT)

Re: Introduce yourself here!
Hi -- I'm from Australia. Mostly my interests are in professional grade CRTs like PVMs etc, but I do have a Sega Astro City and I love arcade games.
Whenever I repair or modify electronics I have a habit of meticulously documenting it. I like to contribute to wikis and have done so on the arcadeotaku wiki already for the MS8-29FSG.
I'm hoping to get some help with my MS8-29FSG actually - if anyone happens to have the resistor value for R447 that would be most helpful and save me creating a new thread just to ask a single question

Re: Introduce yourself here!
Hey there greetings from Mexico.
Not much to say about myself, a small time arcade enthusiast with a focus on shooting games. Very rarely post on shmups and the projects siTe, have the same handle in my social media.
Hope to learn a thing or two troubleshooting my monitors and PCBs, lots of seasoned experienced people here. Maybe sometime doing business with some of you too.
Nice to meet you guys!

Hi,
Thanks for accepting me on the forum. I'm mostly a console gamer and into CRT's, but one day I'll likely get into arcades, so thought I'd sign up here!

Hello, another Swedish arcade nut here. Getting back into the hobby now again after a ten year slump shocked how expensive everything is these days. Trying to get into board repairs and generally learning more about what makes these things tick this time around.

Hi everyone!
I'm from Germany.and one of the strangely very very few women who indulge in this hobby. I like maze games (LADY BUG, PENGO, AMIDAR) & shooters (BOSCONIAN GALAXIAN MOON PATROL etc) the most.
Best regards!
