I really want to get this project done. It’s so close! I bought a lot of six boards off eBay. Stated that Three were working right off, two were missing minor parts but presumed to be working, and one completely untested and missing the crystal. On the untested one I […]
After careful contemplation I decided to just get a whole CP instead of fixing the one I have. It already has the overlay, the joystick, the wiring, etc. Plug and play. I will work on the original in my spare time (ha!) but at least that piece of the puzzle […]
Many (most?) of the games I have in storage have rust issues. IIRC they were stored in a barn before I got to them. My frustration has been largely toward cleaning these rusted pieces. My usual method has been to strip the pieces completely down to the metal using a […]

Since I’m quickly running out of nice (non-snow) days here, I decided to work on this beastie today. Basically I pretty much stripped the beastie completely down to nothing. Busted out the sander and sanded the heck out of the bottom of the cab. At some point in it’s existence […]

The Mini was one of the games I had on my line-up for Halloween. It was working with no problems. Then I moved it… …and now it boots to garbage again. And worse than before.
Years ago I bought a 2 1/4″ trackball on eBay for a pittance. I’d forgotten all about it, only finding it a couple days ago in a box of other stuff. Glad I did; the original on this needs a serious rebuild as the bearings stick and the rollers are […]
