Doing Some Arcade Maintenance & Hanging my new Midway Neon Sign!

[@brendens5961]

you can always run a wire for a ground to make sure it's secure. also shake all the connections. over time corrosion builds up even the most minimal. keep it up

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I'm going to try it! I hope to have time this weekend to give it another shot.

[@MikesArcadeMonitorRepair]

9:22 Unless you stick your fingers under the anode cap on the tube, there's nothing on the chassis that will shock you when it's powered off. As for the interference, defintely install another screw in the other location. If that doesn't work, take an alligator clip, clip one end to the frame, and clip the other end to to the vertical IC heat sink and see if that solves the issue.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I’ll try all of that! I guess I’ll take that screw to Lowe’s and see if I can find another one of the same size. Good to know the chassis isn’t dangerous when off too. Thanks Mike!

[@TominoCabana]

Definitely liking that Midway neon

[@KillerArcadeGames]

It's really nice!

[@mcclure13]

Bro you have my kinda man cave! Takes be back to when i was a kid.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

It's truly a dream come true for me. I've spent ridiculous amounts of money to make it happen haha. KZbin paid for all of the games though, which I'm thankful for.

[@Realmoflo]

If it’s truly a ground issue try to scratch the metal a little to get fresh ground connection. Cab old might be dust and grimes built up by the ground. Use a wire brush if you have one.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I’ll look into that as well. Thanks

[@Realmoflo]

Run the wire up the sign then across the window seal. I’m sure you’ll need a extension corn or splice it yourself and extend it.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Good idea!

[@gabrielgray]

Holy shit Chris, all you need now is an MK 1, 2, 3 and 3 Ultimate and you have the complete midway must haves..

[@KillerArcadeGames]

If I had the room I’d get them! And several others haha.

[@gabrielgray]

@@KillerArcadeGames no room for an Mk II? that be the one id go after above all.

[@RealziesCuts]

I can’t wait for that responsibility 💫✊ GGs 357 days no alcohol 🏆⭐️

[@deadmousyplutaprestige8771]

Congratulations, I'm on 18 months. I'm proud of you for sure.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Nice! Glad to hear it.

[@oscarestivencarabalyherrer1279]

I love Midway Games Neon light

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Me too! Its so cool to see glowing in there.

[@OverThinkGaming]

The rat 😂😂

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Hahaha

[@jax597]

Most of your cabs are real? If so thats so freaking awesome dude!! I miss the 90's sooooo much!!! What do they even go for on average?

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I used to only have 1Ups but I bought a few real machines and ended up building the "Shed-Cade" in my backyard so I'm buying more and more real cabs. They vary in price. I usually buy them cheap but they need work to get them nice again. I got Hydro Thunder for $450 but the monitor needed work. I got Rush the Rock for only $400 but the monitor was dead when I got it. Killer Instinct 1 was the most expensive, I paid $1300 for it but that was still a really good price and it was fully working. KI2 was only $800 but did need some work too. If you search long enough you'll find a good deal or two.

[@cleetusvandame]

I'm going to go out on a wild guess and going to say the interference or lines could very well be the filter cap.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Ooo thats a smart one. Isn't that the huge capacitor?

[@cleetusvandame]

@@KillerArcadeGames Yes it is. I have started to replace them as I cap my monitors. Those caps may still read properly in circuit but when it comes to interference, it's the first thing I replace.

[@threwanade]

That’s what I was thinking maybe in the psu?

[@threwanade]

Awesome sign! Also for hydro thunder It could be bad caps did it get recapped? The monitor and psu

[@KillerArcadeGames]

It was recapped and had a new flyback installed. I'm going to pull it out this weekend, go buy another screw (hopefully) to fully anchor the chassis down. If that doesn't work, someone gave me a few other tips to try. I'm determined to fix it haha.

[@jax597]

Where you live that you have black widows and brown recluse spiders? Thats scary shit there!

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Texas haha. I've only seen a few in my whole life though. I have a storage unit that I keep my work trailer in and some arcade parts. I'm in and out of there at least 5 times a week. I opened the door one day and found tons of baby black widows all around my trailer. I assume I picked one up while working and they hatched in there. I almost walked right into them but just happened to notice one. I'm always careful in there now.

[@NardDawg101]

Love that Midway neon sign looks sick! #midwayslut

[@ibuddie01]

are you trying Bethesda’s new game “Starfield” as well?

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I am! It’s the first new game I’ve played in a long time.

[@unclegoose3864]

I dont have any arcade cabs but my fear would be having to deal with CRT problems.

[@retromod6488]

I was too when I started but it’s 100% just getting some learning, experience, and confidence. When I changed my first cab back from an lcd to a CRT, it looked so much better with a tube, it really changes the visual experience with a CRT and they’re completely worth it. Games of that era were made for that crt resolution and just look right. You can even go the route of repurposing consumer TV’s if you’re on a budget too.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I was terrified of them. But got over most of my fear of them. The more you learn about them the easier it gets. But fixing them or worrying they’ll fail isn’t the most fun. Its worth keeping them though. Much better than LCDs.

[@matthiggins8307]

That Midway Neon sign is dope, been on my wish list since I saw it in @TheWickedArcade

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Yeah I saw he got one so it finally pushed me to just order it. I asked him what he thought of it.

[@OverThinkGaming]

Think YT is hiding our hashtags. 😂😂😂 #midway*lut. Hahha

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Yep! I didn't even think of that. I'll just give you sticker when I see you haha.

[@Realmoflo]

Where can I get a keychain?

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I looked to see if Teespring made them, since they make literally everything else (want a KAG shower curtain?! Haha) but they don’t! I don’t think I’ll be making and mailing my own stuff anytime soon but if get a few extra in the future I’ll post about them.

[@wildchild6340]

#MIDWAYSLUT Awesome video as always. I have a sign like that from the same company but is Back to the Future.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Oh nice! I was surprised by the quality honestly. Sorry, you weren't quick enough on this one. All of the comments got held for review so I'm just going through and finding them all lol.

[@novamaster0]

Alright, I guess I'll be that person. #MIDWAYSLUT (Even if I am more team Williams)

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Yeah, I guess hashtags get "held for review". My fault! Since I screwed it up, I'll still send you some stickers if you want them, you were one of the first few for sure. Email me: [e-mail]

[@deadmousyplutaprestige8771]

Strong fingers, take note ladies = canceled

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Canceled or flooded with date requests?! Lol

[@Realmoflo]

#midwayslut awesome video

[@KillerArcadeGames]

It's a great addition to the arcade!

[@vision821k4]

Foist...bro the pest control would have been cool to see what kind of spiders you can find. Especially, recluse or widows, I live in NJ we don't have ANY of that shit, I just can't imagine.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

The only bugs I’ve really seen in there was a roach, which is only the second one I’ve ever seen on my property in 13 years lol. A few small spiders but nothing worth showing. I’m going to count you as one of the first since I screwed up the hashtag situation haha. Send me an email: [e-mail]

[@AC-LING666]

Chris im the first person to type the hashtag but it looks like YT doesnt allow the comment to show , if u need proof i have the vid recorded

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Oops, I didn’t realize that would be a problem. Email me at [e-mail]

[@rileykazama3145]

Beautiful logo light #Midwayslut

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Thanks Riley!
