Basement Arcade Tour 2015 - All Access

[@edwardgreenjr167]

Definitely go into detail on the Baby Pac rebuild. Have one rescued in my garage and I think I keep putting off that project knowing I need to rebuild that play field. Keep up the great work as always.

[@scottrockers]

Honestly everything you talked updating/fixing, I would love to see videos about it, anything you are willing to put the time into I am going to watch. Great video.

[@Ttowndirty]

This was awesome. Love to see the elbow grease behind the shine.

[@mspeals]

Awesome score on the Robotron Machines! Like a barn find of an old muscle car!

[@CryingManStudios]

I'd kill for this kind of room dude! Big/long time follower of the channel! Awesome job. You can see you take pride in this! - Stivad

[@chuck12-82]

Best video you guys have made! To the point with NO fluff. More Galaga!

[@pinballdan]

+Chuck12 - I agree..Too much fluff normally!!..Yea more Galaga....I want to see the board rebuild!!

[@ArcadeDude44]

Wow, congrats guys, that's an awesome arcade! I would vote for whatever the "surprise" cab is (if that's a Zoo Keeper then that is really awesome!), followed by the jamma switcher stuff on the candies. Pole Pos would be cool, Baby Pac also. Heck, any stuff you guys put up I'll check out...it's all good. Thanks for the update.

[@donny4182]

Awesome stuff man. It's sad that arcades are gone and awesome to see you preserving cabs.

[@UNCCShannon]

excellent video, something I have been wanting to see. I am definitely down to see repair and restore videos (much like John's Arcade). I am definitely happy to see thr pin in the basement. Keep up the great work!

[@rowofquarterssr3126]

wow cant wait to see all the new episodes. Ki 1 and 2 is so sweet

[@gingertom64]

great tour lads. you certainly have your hands full. keep up the great shows.

[@JasonValentineFL]

Pinball is where it's at. The replay value is so much greater! Hope to see you acquire a few more.

[@cdamm1963]

looks great in there!! got a line on those replacement speakers too. just waiting on a confirmation callback and i'll get in touch!

[@cdamm1963]

thanks for the plug too!

[@givezerofx]

Thanks guys looking forward to the new episodes.

[@theSammyM333]

It´s not impossible to get next episode out this month! I want to see that arcade fixed and cleaned for the next tour :D Also I want to see you guys fixing these games.

[@guyincognito1985]

Thanks for showing the arcade. I want to see more of the cat. What sort of upgrades can you do on him?

[@SpencerIAm]

Pole position would be awesome to see running! Great game! We'll get that Megatouch going man. I'll keep on hunting for the parts we need ;)

[@ArgonautArcade]

Very cool, can't wait for the new episodes! Especially that hard drivin repair. I have one with a shaky steering wheel - replaced the pot and still shakes its A off :/

[@ReplayStation]

I want to see more Old Game Look Forers! haha Actually, I would love to see smaller how-to videos. I need to completely overhaul my Tekken 3 arcade; I know electronics, but I don't know much about arcades themselves. So, I would like to learn more about jamma, power, monitors, LED mods... that kind of thing. Also, I wanted to check out your DJ gear haha... I haven't spun wax in years (because a pair of 1200's is so freaking expensive), I play using controllers these days. Right now I have a Novation Twitch and an Akai APC 20 on Serato and Ableton. Anyways, excited to see more videos are on the way from you guys...

[@manichispanic999]

Excellent collection

[@76devl69]

Hi Guys have missed the show! Keep up the great work.

[@skyway73]

I vote for Baby Pac! Would love to see some repair/restore vids, thanks guys.

[@OneSwitch]

Be good to see the Gorf fix attempt. Nice collection.

[@JoeHusosky]

Great walk through, love the UNIFI AP!

[@Eyerex]

Always enjoy your vids but would like to hear more about the back story of your arcade games plus a bit more from when you do your road trips

[@marioluigifun]

Galaga seems like a cool repair to see

[@theorgandude]

baby pac looks awesome. more of that please!

[@loubilly]

Would love to see videos on: rush fixes, babypac fixes, monitor fixes

[@thesaskatchewankid]

Is that a wireless access point above Killer Instinct? Awesome to have the low-down on all the machines and see the garage. Even some low/no edit of fixing a cab would be cool. Something to make us feel like we're just chillin'. Other than that, don't feel obligated to have the background music ;) Great video!

[@wildernessgames]

Pole Position is my vote, impressive collection man. -Mitch

[@rottenandrude6669]

I'd love to see what you do with the Dynamo cab. I currently have an HS-5 I picked up for free. Great condition, but no clue what to put in it.

[@TheManofDew]

Wait to do pole position til John's friend comes out with that new board. Baby Pacman would be cool to see getting fixed. Great job as always. Personally would love some arcade game/pinball reviews. Wouldn't even have to own them to review them. You could go to various arcades and just play/review. Keep up the good work. 😃👍

[@mspeals]

Williams games are AWESOME! Robotron, Stargate Defender, Joust!

[@BadGraFxGamers]

Quite the stuff you got there dudeman, nice!

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

What are the type of lights called at 14:01--the lights hitting the brown couch?

[@Doongie4ever]

Nice tour.

[@SkillJim]

Hey guys, fairly new to the channel but love the videos and love arcades, it's really exciting to see your basement grow like that! I was wondering, what is the ultimate goal, is it purely fun and reliving your childhood in your own basement like that, or would you like to eventually have everything in a state to officially open it, as perhaps the last ever real arcade open to the general public and maybe recoup some of the money you've spent over the years on the machines :D?

[@thedentist888]

I like watching you go for the cabinets, but I'm glad you're getting more into repair videos. I would love to see the Galaga repair. Keep up the great work. Also, what is the system you're hooking up to the Candy Cab?

[@TheRabidfox11]

Awesome video guys!!. I loved seeing your updated arcade...Many ,many projects. WOW!! And I thought i had a lot to do.. Two things: #1 thinking of making the jump to Pinball...So i would Love to see a Baby Pac restore video...#2 Just curious did you sell or trade your Asteroids Deluxe???

[@16bitgium]

we want to see it all!

[@ArcadeFreak-gw5rp]

nice set up I can't wait for the videos I would love to see the baby pacman play field restore

[@truman1972]

I would like to see you do a video on how you open you own public arcade. DO IT!!

[@Starscreamlive]

I know this is a late comment on this video, but I'd love to see a couple of videos on how you restored/fixed both the Galaga and Pac-Man arcades. Also the Baby Pac and gator pinball hybrids. Galaga and Pac-Man are the two most available arcade machines for people to purchase, restore, and fix, so I'm sure you would get a lot of views on this se videos. Keep up the good work y'all. Tell NESComplex we miss him on KZbin.

[@tootyuk]

loved that mate, great vid!

[@deathkoala3]

Definitely want to watch the Baby pac rebuild

[@jasonoverturf1218]

I love the basement! Where did you learn to do all these repairs? Do you have a background in electronics? I have 6 cabs now, and I have to pay a guy if something breaks. And, yes. Let's see more of the Baby Pac. That game is so much fun.

[@MRGRetroEric]

Very nice tour! Something goofy is happening with my Monitor for my Simpsons Arcade machine. It worked fine when we first got it then I didn't play for 5 months. We boot it up and it looks like the lights on the screen are out or something.

[@cdamm1963]

+Midwest Retro Gamers is it dim? or is it missing a color?

[@MRGRetroEric]

I had to lower the brightness so it could be somewhat playable. Its not missing color its just a lightness darkness thing

[@cdamm1963]

+Midwest Retro Gamers first thing i would do is check the voltage and make sure the power is where it should be (thats quick and easy and there is a bunch of tutorial videos out there). next i would check the caps on the monitor- when they go it could cause issues like you are talking about. if they are leaking they could eat away at the chassis and then you are either screwed or in jumper cable hell trying to make it work again.

[@electricadventures]

The arcade is looking awesome guys, you definitely have quite a wide selection of machines! Two Robotrons!! You bastards :) That Space War does look like a pretty cool game, especially with it being two players of course. But I still couldn't live without at least an Asteroids Deluxe. I still have to figure out how I am going to fit one of those in somewhere - may have to go a cocktail I reckon. Those Candy Cabs really are nice machines. And here's me only up to my 2nd cabinet :) I am doing a complete control board custom build, coming along nicely now. And it's going to have a 2 Jamma with Neo Geo one slot on one side and a jamma to PC with Mame on the other side. With the 161-in-1 Neo Geo cartridge will give me the best of both worlds, plus of course I can change to a single MVS cartridge easily as well. Just don't have the space (or allowed space from the wife :)) to have more than the two stand up cabs. If the 2 jamma works, may look at getting one for the vertical cabinet as well and also rebuilding the control panel for that one as well, adding spinners, and a track ball (if I can work out the spacing). My one original cabinet will hopefully be that Taito cocktail with Tutankham in it.

[@tankcontrols1]

I loved this video, honestly I plan on turning my basement into an arcade and it was inspired by you guys. I know you guys look on Craigslist for the machines but is there anywhere else you guys look?

[@tankcontrols1]

Richard Herzog true, but most of the arcade machines I'm looking for are way over my price range. I'm looking between the $80 to $500 range.

[@tankcontrols1]

Richard Herzog alright I'll have to check it out. I'm trying to go for a mid to late 90's style arcade.

[@obxfirediver]

Awesome! Thanks! I vote Rush ( i have one myself) and baby pac. Keep up the good work!

[@tonebone7053]

sounds like u guys need to have a repair party!!! Have some buddies over for a 1 day, or 1 weekend fixing blitz!!!

[@game_whisperer1606]

Can you restore the xmas tree and change the bulbs for LED? No seriously, Galaga fix would be cool to see, and the Chase HQ.

[@theplanone]

If you dont mind me asking. How do you experience with repairs? DIY trial and error? Is there a specific source you go to? Love the stuff and thanks!

[@neozeed1984]

Incredible!

[@skabcat242]

Nice to see you got X-Men.

[@Riz2336]

You've got a lot of classic games.

[@foch41]

you live in rockford, il?!?!?!?!? unbelievable, I live in Machesney Park

[@foch41]

+foch41 it's cool to know you got that machine from the Art Deli, whenever my wife wants to shop there i always run to the back and play some pinball

[@999darebear]

I second the vote for more Old Game Look Forers!! In fact, I want to ask what happened to NES Complex? I thought the vids you two did together were hilarious but then nothing for the last year or so. I understand you're pretty busy with restorations but will you be teaming up again to make some more vids soon?

[@DaxSkyrider]

Hey guys I'm local Arcade collector from Milwaukee. I have a few machines myself and I fabricate bartop cabinets in my garage. I know a few other guys in Milwaukee area that are always looking to move machines. If you are ever looking to do some stuff up here or looking for new contacts let me know.

[@8bitandrew134]

How do you adjust the geometry and calibrate the image on PVM 14m4u screen? My image needs to be shifted to the side but can't find a way to do it. I couldn't even figure out how to take the monitor apart. Do you know of a separate calibration unit I can attach? Thanks in advanced!

[@ArcadeObsessed]

Awesome guys

[@grimisti14]

Not thinking about having a second Fast Break, you can plug 2 so you can have like a basket ball game right ?

[@TravestyBrimstone]

You should show the cat in future videos.

[@residentevilumbrella2001]

I like the kitty cat. It's so cute he's on the pinball machine; he wants to play. Get him a few quarters. HAHAHAHA!

[@evh347]

What did you get the Fastbreak for?

[@chriswallace3984]

Where did you get superbros from.

[@toomuchseriousness]

Do pole position, just got mine

[@MarcJensan]

Hey man, I'm really worried about NESComplex. What happened to him?

[@CSIG1001]

Will you take 2.75 for robo tron

[@carlperkins1452]

Start on that Dig Dug Greg!

[@Simply_BigT]

How do u know who to do this

[@johnmckiernan6641]

If you could get that Granny and the Gators up here to Alaska for me, that'd be great! Ok, thanks!

[@tkkalverm]

That looks like a freaking ZOO KEEPER you are restoring!! Do that one! :) Otherwise, Pole Position gets my vote.

[@sharkwo7]

Can someone tell me that if this collection belongs too? Mike and Gregg, or Mike or Gregg?

[@arcadeimpossible]

just me (Gregg). mike has a candy cab and a joust machine at his house.

[@waynedaly100]

Great vid

[@markhorsburgh]

What are the chances of an update vid on the basement Gregg? Doesn't have to be a fancy edit vid that requires your editor. Just a quick phone vid would be good. Make it happen chaps 👍

[@arcadeimpossible]

Yes. I’m working on something.

[@patryksg]

Kitty is a pin-guy too, now. :)

[@CS-rk6fu]

Lovely Pin there guys :)

[@UTO0O0B]

Nice tour. Nice straight forward content and less flash editing. If you spent less time editing your videos, you'd have more time to fix your cabs. I need more vids from you guys on a regular basic. Johns Arcade needs some KZbin competition!!

[@MrZ281980]

if you have most or all of the parts to redo your baby pac man that would make a good video..

[@swayrimgamers--8239]

cute cat !

[@warhawk4ever]

Get the Robotron machines working.

[@DaveGeebiv]

Baby Pac

[@rayzer369]

My baby pac needs work, i;ll v for that
