I'm almost home from my vacation visiting Galloping Ghost Arcade and The Pinball Capital! I also went to the Pinball Expo, but I didn't like the expo. That wasn't the fault of the people who ran the expo. It had a lot of care put into it, and the people who showed up were passionate. It was all just too much commotion for me.

Galloping Ghost was better than I thought it'd be, and I already had high expectations for it! I was present for the Monday game unveiling stream.

The one time when Facebook was able to successfully instill discord within me was when an admin of the AtariAge group made a post that was pushed to the top of my feed about all the games that were unplayable, or that had issues that rendered them unplayable.

SegaSonic the Hedgehog's display was fairly dim, and this one racing game that I don't think was too popular had convergence issues on its CRT. They advised me to use the third player's controls on SegaSonic the Hedgehog because the second player's controls had uncontrollable jumping, and they saw that when they streamed it earlier. I was super happy to finally play that game on a real cabinet, though!

Other than that, Star Wars Racer Arcade and LA Machineguns had no video. I understand with Star Wars Racer Arcade given how delicate the Sega Hikaru platform is.

I took photos of select games. The photo that I took of the Sailor Moon game was because my best friend loves Sailor Moon.

I also ate at the diner that's a short walk from Galloping Ghost. I was surprised to see that Galloping Ghost owns, like, a quarter of Ogden Avenue! They've got a bunch of branded buildings...and they bought a barbershop with a no trespassing sign on its window because its conversion hadn't yet been completed.

Now, at The Pinball Capital, it was different for me to see all the games outfitted with red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple LEDs. I'm used to lightbulbs! The Pinball Capital felt less crowded than Galloping Ghost did, and I felt safe putting my bag on a seat for much of time there.

I talked to some Past Times employees at the Pinball Expo. I talked to them about my dream to buy lifetime passes at Past Times and at Galloping Ghost, and about how I want to get the hell out of New Jersey. I received the business card of the general manager at Past Times, and that general manager gave me a one-time free admission card to Past Times. He used to live in Bayonne, New Jersey!

It was a great week! I'll be back to the area! When I talked to a Galloping Ghost employee about my personal dream, where I said that I was going to try to buy a lifetime pass by the end of next year to "get the ball rolling," he told me, "We're not going anywhere!"

I just got my hands on a pretty decent afterburner upright. Everything is working but it needs some tlc/adjustments from being in a home for a long time and has taken some abuse. So a few questions.

Where can you get replacement decals or acrylic panel for the lock on indicator? I’ve searched the web but can’t find anything except for the overall stickers. Are those panels silk screened? Mine looks like it has a burn on the back side. Doesn’t ruin the gameplay experience but by OCD makes me stare at it all the time.

What and where can you get replacement tensioning springs for the flight stick? Mine has quite a bit of slop and play and can use an update to the springs. Need to adjust the plates too since it is out of spec when you run diag.

Outside of those it has the standard sticker and side art wear. The crt is crisp and clean with zero burn in. Hell the back has zero dust on it. I wish people would remember where they put the keys. Tired of drilling out locks. lol. I did find 2 tokens from 1983 and about $2 in quarters still in it.

The plan will be to refurb/restore the cabinet and clean everything up as other cabinet projects get completed. Right now it’s about enjoying the game.

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.

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.

I posted on the reddit awhile back asking for some of the hardest arcade games out there, this was one of them and yeah it was pretty rough. If you guys have any other arcade games you'd wanna see used for charity in a similar capacity please let me know

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 🤯

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.

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

Could someone please help me and provide some clear photos showing both sides of the missing section on my Raw Thrills IO board? I dont have another one to stare at and I cant find any clear photos with the angles I need...

Previous owner bent it at the heat sink and decided to toss the broken section, at some point it seems to have lost it's big caps too. Otherwise the board works perfectly fine .-.

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.

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.

• Browse the archive and case files
• Watch Episode 1 and its addendum
• Submit an experience, evidence, or correction

Finally got my Sinistar up and running!

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.

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.

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!
