Fixing an Atari Black Widow arcade

[@collectionmaster1016]

I’ll be doing this all to my Tempest soon. Your videos are both incredibly instructional and entertaining. I learn so much from you. Thank you good Sir 😁

[@stephenarnold1725]

Brilliant fix Jason. I have just got my black widow working after buying it 2 years ago and never testing. I love the game!!!! Thanks

Man, I'm amazed at how quick you are on the LV2000 install. I did one a few summers ago but didn't really know what I was doing, so I took like all afternoon painstakingly desoldering and trying not to destroy anything :) Meanwhile, you're like rip, clip, solder, done

[@ArcadeJason]

lol

Love the videos. I only collect pinballs but still love the troubleshooting and repair of these.

[@ArcadeJason]

i never liked working on pins i am just not into them but there is a few titles id like to have

[@johnmcgaghey1127]

I love the video - it's awesome!

[@flightofapaullo72]

[@ArcadeJason]

Arcade Jason Hey Jas... what's a good price for a Gyruss pcb? Eventually I'd like to get one... just curious on the prices for one. Thanks!

[@ArcadeJason]

i honestly don't know

[@jamesdavis5517]

Great explanation. Ta..

[@youvsyou945]

Interesting tidbit.....I replaced the flyback on mine(to one of Bob's).....upon replacing I noticed a wire bridging two pads on the hv board on the middle pin of the flyback. I took it out(shouldn't have) and later found some service information that they were bridging that pad because the trace cracked a lot from the weight of the flyback(I noticed yours is soldered over pretty good). Have you tried the Bob Roberts flyback on the K6100? Thanks. I love your videos...My tempest is a 4 year project now, I want to finish it so badly.

[@618WARR]

How many color vector games are there actually? They look pretty cool

[@pinmandan5164]

Awesome video Jason, love learning about vectors :D I actually have a issue with my Asteroids monitor that keeps smoking the resistors ! What would cause this man ?

[@ArcadeJason]

the 2 big sand cast resistors? you need to change the transistors on the chassis

[@pinmandan5164]

no the one near the sand cast ones, in between the transistors. Pretty sure I replace the transistors :\

[@moviehunter2020]

Your an arcade repair GOD ! Love the repair vids, Keep up the great content .

[@ArcadeJason]

lol don't know about GOD

[@dphirschler1]

What's that board you put in place of the original vector chip?

[@Terry68Firebird]

great video- can you also show rebuilding AR2 and when you replace big blue / power supply fixes? - TYVM -

[@utubepunk]

Can you clarify some of the words you use during your videos? Deflection board, spot killer, etc. Thank you.

[@ArcadeJason]

the deflection board is what connects to the yoke coil (it deflects the beam). spot killer is a circuit that turns off the beam if no or little deflection is present (that way you don't burn a spot on the screen)

[@memyopinionsche6610]

When you just started reflowing solder there was a loud sound of sounded like a bird hold on i will get the time stamp.

[@ArcadeJason]

squeaky chair at 16:08 ?

[@memyopinionsche6610]

Was that a bird?

[@ArcadeJason]

bird? what you talkin bout willis

[@TortureBot]

Was biting my fingernails when ya went to adjust the Screen and Focus controls... kept thinking that high voltage box was gonna ground out on you! ARGH!

[@ArcadeJason]

lol no worries

[@TortureBot]

You beast! Hey Jason, I heard you mention you had a couple degrees to go along with your electronic experience. Mind disclosing what your degrees are in? Just curious, because my company of 25 years is closing the doors, and I'm having to go back to school (paid for through Trade Adjustment Assistance, woohoo!), and was thinking of going for an Associates in Industrial Electronics Technology.

[@onjisan]

Dang man slow down lol

[@CP200S]

First comment! Do I get a mint Ghosts'n Goblins cabinet as a prize?

[@ArcadeJason]
