Four Arcade Games - ONE DAY

[@FictionFactoryGames]

WOW. It is just FASCINATING to watch a live day of work on various games at an on-location arcade! Good research for a game I'm hoping to make in the future, too. Thanks for the video and keep 'em coming!

[@Sleepdroidstudios]

Those little tables between the games are so important. When I go to a bar/arcade here in Phoenix, I won't play a game unless there is a little table next to it for me to put my drink on. If you're at a bar, you have a drink. Super important. :)

[@ethompson2204]

I love seeing "real world" fixes. It shows progress! Keep up the good work and feel free to "bring us to work" every time!

[@ericksaenz2252]

i started the hobby a year ago and i have learned so much with John, y have fixed 6 dead arcades and monitors myself (got electrocuted twice ) thanks John!

[@timothydoom]

I am so happy you made this video. I love it thanks

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Timothy!

[@ukxvc]

loved this video. I think I'm gonna really like the operator vids. A fresh take on the arcade scene that we rarely get to see.

[@wildernessgames]

Always a good time servicing games with Jay and Tim; be well man. -Mitch

[@MagicFerret69]

Thanks for sharing this video. I don't have any clue about arcade machines. I am learning through your videos. Thanks again :) happy retro gaming

[@Johnsarcade]

+MagicFerret69 thanks for watching!

[@SandmansHate]

Man, you guys need to set up a corner in that place, let it be darker than the rest of the establishment, and put your hardcore arcade games there. Bring back the nostalgia bro.

[@evilash570]

Awesome! I love these on location fix video's!

[@Live4Ibanez]

Such an awesome video to have playing in the background like a podcast while messing with some designing

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrHarney]

Thank you

[@lepterfirefall]

I love outrun. Seeing this just shows how complicated arcade machine upkeep is.

[@defdave]

This is one of the best videos you've ever made. Please make more at work. :)

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Dave! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@DamianReloaded]

Merry Christmas John and Happy New Year!

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Damian! HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@Shelldor1970]

This Video is awesome. I look it so much....Best Regards from Germany John!

[@johnnyretro1975]

wow all your videos are amazing john

[@ChelleyMadison]

Outrun is the one arcade game my local pizza parlor had as a kid, loved it there and also on the PC, nice addition for sure!

[@Johnsarcade]

+Michelle Madison ha. Funny. Awesome game for sure. :)

[@xboys_archive]

I love these types of vids thanks for making this!

[@Johnsarcade]

+XBØYS thanks!

[@paddlenswim9894]

That arcade is so badass! I want to visit it so bad.

[@Scythe42]

Woot new video. That bar needs an Ice Cold Beer. And a Sports bar needs a Track and Field as well.

[@Johnsarcade]

I know, I'd love Ice Cold Beer but I'm not sure about putting mine on location.

[@royroy7814]

John, the Arcade looks great!

[@crush_arcade]

woah 30k subscribers! Congrats Johnny!!

[@Mxredrider5]

Hi John, I enjoyed this video, just like all your videos. I own an Arcade location in Southern California and is located inside of an indoor trampoline arena. I have over 30 games and I service every one of them. Coins mech's can be a pain sometimes, lately I have been replacing the coins mech's with new ones to maximize profits. I have also been adding dollar bill acceptors to my games to increase profits as well. Great episode once again John, keep it up!

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks! I am getting some validators for my pins. Think it will help?

[@Mxredrider5]

Definitely John, will increase your profits by 40%. You have to think, not that many people carry change and rather use dollar bills to play. If you move forward with bill acceptors that will be a great choice for your barcade 👍

[@matthewerdman]

i always get jealous watching your videos, especially the Pacman cabaret one. You got most of my favorite games. I want that NeoGeo!

[@Johnsarcade]

+Matthew Erdman thanks for watching Matthew!

[@takifnf8913]

i love you johns is great what you do i love the arcades

[@Riz2336]

Cool to see the life of an arcade operator, don't see those guys around too much now a days. I find a lot of arcades in the wild just get played until they are barely playable anymore especially pinball machines.

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Riz!

[@mjohnson5468]

awesome video man!

[@Darryl603]

The only thing I don't like about deoxit is it's expensive. Great job, John! I'm happy for you that the bar venture is working out so well. Good love from your wife for the awesome Christmas presents. Thanks and see you next time.

[@bobbyjack8033]

The life and times of a coin op guy hehe ;) nice

[@dirtydon8661]

Awesome vid. A lot of work going on. Careful with that deoxit....it wont dry and imo it will attract dust and grime!! Silicon dry spray maybe? Good luck!!!

[@33kingnaz]

Congratulations on 30,000 subs!!!

[@Johnsarcade]

+33kingnaz thanks!

[@JackLucasCaffrey]

Yay You Got 30,000 Subs John! Congratulations!

[@JackLucasCaffrey]

And Then You Read The Last Viewer Mail From Me! Holy Cow! Thanks!

[@Johnsarcade]

+Mario TV Thanks! We did it good luck with your Pac. :)

[@JackLucasCaffrey]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech ;)

[@lasvegasira]

Congrats on 30k subs!

[@helixdeslayer]

love these videos

[@Johnsarcade]

+helixdeslayer thank you! :)

[@gabriellecomeau2338]

the de-oxidant is the best i had a pin ball that was reseting every once in a while and i thought i was going to have to re do the five volt circuit but all it was is the edge connectors needed to be cleaned !!

[@joshuapoche5137]

Need to get some graphite for those coin mechs. I used to use it on my vending machines. Itsthe same stuff you put in door locks when your keys get tuff to get in and out. Get it from any hardware store

[@c3j3p3]

Congradulations on 30k subs John

[@illegalpizza]

truck yea looks like I need some popcorn lol

[@illegalpizza]

well time to go to bed great video john!

[@binkman853]

Congrats to you all. Nice work. Just need a changer for your waist. Keep up the great work.

[@Johnsarcade]

Ha. No change on the waist. LOL! Thanks for watching!

[@tonyurmate]

Hi John. I had the same problems With the coin mechs and I found that the adjustment for the width and thickness of the coin mech settings were difficult to fine adjust, but once its dialed in, you just tighten everything up and you should be good to go. it will take time but you will get it down to a fine art :)

[@ed150arcade2]

Renegade and Bump n Jump would be awesome editions to the barcade 👍

[@Wandering0223]

Congrats on 30k subs, John! :)

[@wizpin]

Maybe useful for you guys, when my dad was an operator they had -at large locations lke yours- in 1 or 2 cabs a lot of parts and tools in boxes stapled to the inside of the cabs. microswitches, fuses, lamps, tie wraps, screwdrivers, soldering iron and pliers etc.

[@Johnsarcade]

+The Kong I like that idea.

[@robertnebrich8754]

Ooo I like the panthers

[@nightbirdds]

John's Arcade: Brought to you by DeoxIT. :) Nice job guys!

[@Johnsarcade]

The stuff is a miracle!

[@Avery1980]

great video john i got every intentions of heading down to the hanger when i get paid next week i hear that turtles,mk2,umk3 and double dragon calling my name.i also got a kool idea for ya seeing how you got johns arcade t-shirts and mugs and ect ect have you every thought about doin a johns arcade fleece blanket thatd be totally kool let me know what you think

[@Johnsarcade]

Ha, blankets would be cool.

[@33kingnaz]

Another great video john appreciate the hardwork you put in for the hobby. Are you gonna put up the Hong Kong arcade video anytime soon?

[@Johnsarcade]

+33kingnaz yes. Soon. Need time

[@tomdehaven3445]

Ribbed side is the neutral. The smooth side is the hot. Lamp cord has a smooth side and a ribbed side.

[@joshuapoche5137]

Smooth is hot grooved is not lol

[@nyctony4191]

Happy new year

[@juntistik]

NEOGEO needs Windjammers.

[@nrgjuan4834]

juntistik neogeo

[@ldtg7903]

agreed

[@RWL2012]

Happy new year John! I'm excited for the 2016 year end review, is it nearly here? :-)

[@Johnsarcade]

+RWL2012 working on it now. Maybe tomorrow or Tuesday

[@Johnsarcade]

+RWL2012 working on it now. Maybe tomorrow or Tuesday

[@RWL2012]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech can barely wait 😃

[@TheTurnipKing]

34:32 Could try printing the repros on overhead projector film, then maybe get a very thin white paper on the back as a diffuser. edit: Huh, the repro looks way better on camera. Makes sense though, the original is letting through a lot more light and it's messing with the camera. That said, if they're all repros they'll all match.

[@TymodaTV]

30k. Way to go bro

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks!

[@cwgraham78]

Have you considered in the future replacing the Marquee lights for John & Jays with LED's? I got LED Strips for my Mame Cab and it works great. Just a idea.

[@Johnsarcade]

+cwgraham I dunno. Not a fan

[@ziprun2005]

I'm curious, how do you work the electric bill with the bar owner?

[@truhunk1]

Usually the store owner covers it.

[@seagramrip187]

Man wish i had this place near me

[@flcl64]

I had to watch the Blues Brothers again when I heard about Carrie, then her mother dies on the next day.

[@squidjib]

Are those the original Neo Geo marquee lights or some sort of new ones? Looking for a set for my 4-slot.

[@jayleone5142]

[@ashdeadite1225]

John get a final fight.

[@dvv45]

Ever thought about getting a Daytona Usa? would do well in arcade.

[@slo74786]

Nice! Jon, I was just saying after watching your last video that you needed a beat-em-up and some puzzle games (i.e. Puzzle Bobble) - a sports game (also in the neo geo). This is really going in the right direction. Pubs are weird places. You need those social games like the beat-em-ups but there are regulars who live at the pub and just need to get obsessed with and enjoy a single-player like Pac Man or a puzzle game. That's my view. Liking the way this is shaping up! What about the Golden Tee and the Big Buck Hunter I see in there? Staples already provided by another operator? You guys are making money I think. Buying up an over-priced turtles so quickly. Good for you.

[@LORDMETAL1]

I don't mean to be mean ..I speak for all of us we just miss you bro

[@American_Made]

What are the good kind of micro switches to get?

[@WoodyPianoShack]

very enjoyable and interesting vid, thx John, congrats on 30k and best wishes for 2017

[@Johnsarcade]

+Woody Piano Shack thanks, Woody! Happy New Year.

[@Extralounge]

23:13 LOL

[@Pagaugezero]

Is that ranch dressing on the floor or are you just happy to see me

[@Micky999]

I saw Bust A Move still corrupted, when you put the machine in its place and you was crouching checking the insert coin.

[@Johnsarcade]

+Micky999 we fixed it later. Deoxit

[@TortureBot]

Great video! You guys don't have a Mr. Do in the line-up do you?

[@craiggilchrist4223]

Livin the dream John, Games Id like to see what do you think? Tron, Pac Land, Paperboy, Point Blank, Chopperlift, Airwolf, jees could go on forever. I think those would be good earners. Whats the general age group in there? It looks pretty mixed from your vids.

[@TheStevenWhiting]

In the UK, we sadly don't have any decent arcades like this anymore :( not that I know of anyway.

[@RWL2012]

just the Arcade Clubs in Northern England probably

[@jaridcool]

Re watching: 2 hours and I didn't even get bored. Can't say that for half the movies I've seen this year. If I was going to compare this 2 hour show to a movie say for entertainment value, I'd venture to say this video is almost up there with Star Wars Rogue one. Later!!!

[@Johnsarcade]

+Tyler “Tyler Ko” Erus lol. Awesome. Thanks!

[@dkshawn8640]

Where did the red DK come from at the Hangar? It looks like you still have your DK in the basement. Does the Hangar DK have a high score kit?

[@Johnsarcade]

The RED DK actually was originally mine. I traded Jay the cabinet for my Pole Position. And, well.. now it's at the Hangar. :)

[@SlyTheFloof]

30:40 john the red joystick does not have a dust cover

[@nemike42]

So I'm just "a guy in the forum" who had the 3d files for the gears huh!?! Timmy!!!!

[@tomtime420]

What happened to the monitor in Journey? Collapse?

[@Johnsarcade]

Think so. Cold solder joint maybe. I'll fix tomorrow I think.

[@Rasdock]

Garou: Mark of the Wolves for the fighter. Maybe it's not popular? I don't know, but it's awesome. I think Metal Slug 3 is the best of those (Metal Slug X is close), but I guess the original is good enough. But, now that I see Last Blade, it looks pretty good, too.

[@Monty16v]

For the Kid looking for the pacman machine there is a guy in Dublin that sells a lot of candy cabs and other stuff could be your best bet. have a look on donedeal.ie he usually has an advert on there

[@dawn200128]

hey john.... i haven't heard you mention the super chexx hockey game in the back. what do you think of them?

[@Johnsarcade]

I think they are super cool. I used to play that thing a lot a long time ago. GREAT game!

[@fireproofneo]

Woohoo new video!!!

[@stargazer7668]

Cause I’ve had a bad day!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@andyaceswe]

hey john did u see the British guy visited TNT Amusements with your tshirt on todd reacted lol. u should go there. its that ultimate fan video

[@Johnsarcade]

+Andreas oh really? Lol. Cool.

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

Great video! Just Subscribed to Tim's channel. He has got a lot of cool videos. Does Jay have a channel?

[@Johnsarcade]

Awesome! Jay does not have a channel

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Bummer.

[@ThatTimGuy]

Thanks!

[@walkera048bit5]

Is this your bar? Pleas anser

[@Johnsarcade]

+Walker Aldridge no. The games are ours.

[@jasonstark]

your journey has monitor problems again

[@trichards100]

how much for the TMNT cab? I have somebody close by selling all original and have no idea if his price good or not

[@Johnsarcade]

+Tyler Richards I dunno. $700 or less is GOOD

[@trichards100]

Thanks John! Tough finding good prices around here, he wants $1800

[@Johnsarcade]

+Tyler Richards we paid too much. But not $1800. That's way too much. Personally, I'd want to be $800 if had more time.

[@trichards100]

Thanks man! Hoping I can find better deals, seems like everybody around here (NJ) wants $800-$900+ for cabs. Guy here also wants $1200 for MK1 cab. Yesh.

[@trichards100]

Anyways keep the great vids coming. Love watching the repair work you do.

[@vintageceilingfans]

You should have just kept the light fixture in there, replaced the ballast and sockets.. Home Depot I believe sells those parts.. That light fixture is just as old as the game..

[@Rasdock]

Hey, why is I, Robot down? Also, when are you going to dirty up that popcorn machine? /kidding I'm submitting your name to the Nobel people for your efforts towards brokering a peace between the Irish and the English arcade collectors. :D

[@Johnsarcade]

+Rasdock lol. I robot had bad supply.

[@Rasdock]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech I'll need to rewatch those restores. I just remember you struggling with that ridiculous Atari proprietary supply, but I don't remember if you fixed it or replaced. Anyway, this was a great video. 👍🏼

[@truhunk1]

How much are these games set for ? Are they $1, or .50 cents, or still a quarter ?

[@sf98]

Time to buy stock in Deoxit.

[@sf98]

I think Mok did the plans for the gear ...............................he originally did it for his outrun.

[@cantinflash1354]

Spanish coin-mec from Industrias Lorenzo :)

[@isaacriggs4656]

Maybe it's nervous laughter?

[@TheManofDew]

Might consider putting that one football game in the Neo Geo, maybe replace the fighting game as more people will probably play Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. Just a thought. 😃👍

[@Johnsarcade]

+TheManofDew not a bad thought. I have the Neo GEO football game cart.

[@jesset061084]

Hey john big fan I live in Massachusetts as well and was wondering if we could meet up and hangout sometime

[@slo74786]

Turtles. Great game. Hilariously bad marquee / side art. LOL. Live action April with her hand-held camera. Congrats on 30K subs.

[@lionneko]

turtles is the only Konami 4p game that has lots of jumpers. the rest just have a switch on the board and an eprom

[@Johnsarcade]

+Jon Davies interesting

[@richardherzog5405]

+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Will the pub let you hang a big JOHNS ARCADE sign :)

[@theSammyM333]

Congratulations on 30.000 subscribers! Best video yet!

[@Johnsarcade]

No. It's John and Jay's Arcade. :)

[@richardherzog5405]

+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech NICE!! Love to see JOHN AND JAYS ARCADE! Neon lights

[@wizpin]

Unless its a hobby to be out of the house :) I wonder if you will ever make money there. 3 guys at work for a full day plus spare parts? That should be a lot of quarters :) The bar owner will make money, because he will get more people coming in spending money on beer.

[@nrgjuan4834]

The Kong you have game

[@LORDMETAL1]

That means get back out to the garage ...lol

[@razorgem555to666]

you should put in king of fighters in that MVS. i think that is a more popular game.

[@Johnsarcade]

I agree. I need to decide if I want to remove it from my NEO GEO. :)
