[@cliffbeauchamp]

these are great videos i am learning tons of stuff ! please make more of these no matter what you fix we will have to do it in this hobby and these videos help so much thanks

[@robhimself82]

Always checking here on Sunday for new videos keep up the good work :)

[@RetroreviewsPlus]

hey John thanks for doing this video, at first i was intimidated about putting a grounded 3 prong plug on my power cord. I had a jamma cab I converted to a Ninja Gaiden and it didnt have the ground plug and after watching you do it I felt I could and Im happy to say it was my first time and it was a success!, thanks a bunch

[@Johnsarcade]

You are correct. I really did not explain that correctly. Thank you for pointing this out. I am going to add a notation to the video at that point. Thanks again.

[@scr33n73]

Love your videos John, congrats!!!

[@AKSnowKitty]

Tron, Discs of Tron, and Journey would have looked sweet in that corner.

[@nrdesign1991]

You have to always do the tug-test when installing wires like that. I learned that during my apprenticeship the hard way.

[@TheRabidfox11]

Also bugs me when people cut off the ground on plug in!! Just replaced mine on my class of 1981 cab. Damn jerks Piss -me- off!!! Anyway I done alot of this cosemetic stuff before. Its my favorite part. Its still great to see other peoples methods and Tools.. for the job!!! THX,, John

[@darktetsuya]

oh yeah getting a machine and finding the grounding strip was removed, I feel you on that one. I came into possession of a Gunblade NY (one of the monster 50'' in. versions... won off the internet long story short) and when it arrived I noticed it was missing that one day... so had to replace that asap!

[@webdoc90]

I was following this thread just to see the tube replacement process. The guy you mentioned in the ealier video that has the arcade monitor to TV tube list does he have that posted somewhere? I love to have that information to bring these things back to near original condition. Thanks for making these videos. They have helped me tremendously with my collection.

Where is part 2, 4, 5, and 6? Also I find these very informative. I need to restore my Mrs Pac-Man.

[@Johnsarcade]

There is a playlist here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnbVe4qPj9WAoqM

[@Darryl603]

If you were to hang your parts with a bent coat hanger, the result is better, and they dry quicker because they aren't sitting there surrounded by wet paint. (and you wouldn't be painting your garage floor) lol Keep up the good work John : )l

[@MagikGimp]

Wuh-hay! A happy Q-bert at last. Now, are there any electricians in the house?

[@Johnsarcade]

Ha! I just released part 3! :) Maybe this weekend.

[@82memo82]

Nice!

[@Johnsarcade]

Yeah, they are long gone. Both were sold to make room for new games.

[@Johnsarcade]

I have tried a wire brush on my drill and it does work. I like using the palm sander better. More control. :)

[@jamesrbrindle]

Not boring, stuff people need to understand. My star wars cockpit is getting re-assembled soon which has been a long wait. Pity you didn't film the tube swap. Any chance your friend will let you film the next one he does?

[@Johnsarcade]

I am not familiar with this part. You mean the filter board?

[@gamingiseverything120]

when you turn all of your games on with your red switches do you have to turn Qbert on seperately

[@MaxxLegend]

Hey John, where did you find that version of Fix it Felix Jr.?

[@amplibax8]

I'm not going to bother asking where to find the .exe for that game, but thanks for showing it. I'll have to try to hunt it down.

[@LilmsMcD]

They are called snake eye bits

[@TheMadmagik]

My guess is the noise surpressor in cabinet is duff.

[@hueyfann1]

did the semi glass paint work for you or did you go with satin?

[@Johnsarcade]

Brian Wilson I used satin for the black.

[@hueyfann1]

CAN YOU USE A METAL BRUSH ON A GRIDER TO STRIP THE PAINT?

[@Johnsarcade]

Brian Wilson You can do this!

[@arcadeattic]

Please where did you get the fix it felix pcb

[@Johnsarcade]

Check out this list I added to the video description.

[@Nico93]

how did you get that copy?.

[@Darryl603]

If you did need to replace the entire power cord for whatever reason, you can use an exterior grade 8" extension cord and cut the female end off and connect it to your game.

[@johngilliam9243]

Satin paint all day for metal.

[@bryanswafford]

No wonder Q bert was out of a job in Wreck it Ralph.

[@gary07745]

Hi John is wreck it Ralph a mame rom and is it downloadable ? Again love the videos regards Gary in the uk

[@MaximRecoil]

For the price you pay for those replacement plugs, you could just about buy a brand new cord with a molded-on plug. Just look for 16/3 SJT cord/cable (SJT has heavy-duty insulation compared to SVT). You can get 8 to 10 foot ones for $7 or $8 shipped, on eBay all day long. For example - www.ebay.com/itm/Prime-brand-Power-16-3-SJT-8-foot-2-m-3-Prong-Power-Supply-Cord-PS010608-/252540029062?hash=item3acc8f0886:g:bVcAAOSwbYZXYsYR

[@SuperJustinChannel]

[@NotWatching666999]

Shoot it! Film it in SLOW Mo!!

[@TheGorillafoot]

Soak those metal bars in some diluted vinegar. Will pull all the rust right off.

[@jerezer2009]
