The cabinet looks amazing John. great job, well done.

[@MrKevinp0]

John, my man, you are fearless! I gotta say, the Jump Bug cabinet is looking so good! If I were you, I wouldn't lose any sleep on the small laminate cut on the back. It's those little imperfections that make it uniquely yours. Besides, as you said, the more you do that, the better and easier it's going to get. And you really did save a crap load of time doing it that way! You sir are my arcade hero! Keep rockin' John!

[@1CrispyCracker]

Cabinet turned out extremely well I must say, good job. All your hard work to put these great vids together is very much appreciated. Keep it up bro.

[@ihatemadmoe]

The laminate looks really good!

[@adamgrounds]

Thanks for this John. Ever since you guys started talking about doing laminate for sides on AO I was hoping for a video of you demonstrating this. Looks great!

[@aarontruitt]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech that vinyl looks amazing! great job!!

[@JediLennon]

I've really enjoyed watching this game transform. I can't wait to see the final product. Good job and thanks for another great video!

[@wilhelmbeaston8003]

This is amazing! You inspire my desire to get into the hobby. Good stuff John, good stuff.

[@Coleco1981]

Awesome job John - I've never seen a laminate job documented so well, I'd much rather do this then rolling paint for sure!

[@RetroPhaeax]

It looks astonishing good John!

[@Johnsarcade]

Retro Phaeax Thanks!

[@givezerofx]

Things got tense when you started using the router great video.

[@PantherUK]

Goodbye Gyruss... But Outrun lives to fight at least another week..! Nice one mate... Great video...

[@brianbirkinbine2054]

Awesome video John! I've been waiting for a laminate video, thanks for doing this. That larger roller seemed to work pretty well.

[@Flanneryshanedward]

It would be nice John if you did a before and after wall chart or something like that of your refurbished machines in the basement or maybe above the machine showing it as purchased and then fully restored ☺

[@webdoc90]

Again thanks for posting these vids. Looking forward to doing this to my track & field someday.

[@richeeskullz]

Great video as always! So glad Computer Space did not end up blue :)

[@victorkobie3018]

Fantastic John! You mentioned in Atlanta you might be doing laminate on the Jump Bug. I didn't expect it to look that easy. Think I might do my Mame cab in laminate. Love the videos, Awesome work, Jump Bug is looking pretty good!

[@instorm6661]

Just to add some info to the future: That yellow contact adesive when on a smooth surface should come off easy if you rub with your finger or any rubber you can find (shoe, flip flops, any rubbery thing works), you dont need any product to remove it. And you can let it dry completly (like many hours if you like), if you apply heat it will reactivate the adesive and it will be much more agressive to contact than before. Use your heat gun to reactivate it, you need to heat it up to something like 200-220 degrees, so you can do one bit at a time. Great work, please don't skip more weeks... :)

[@TexasArcadesTV]

John, glad you didn't get tempted to trim the ends before you applied the roller to the laminate. If you did that and there would have been any air pockets in the edges between the wood and laminate, the glue would have been contaminated by the dust and would not have adhered. Also, don't remove the dowels all at once or you will end up with air pockets. Applying laminate its not like vinyl, and that glue bonds very strong and doesn't budge a whole lot even if you apply a lot of rolling, best thing to do is go slow. You don't have to rush the job, it takes 15-20 min for the glue to set after you roll it, but you have another 20+ minutes to completely apply the laminate. Don't worry the glue will still stick even if it feels dry (actually that's when it bonds better). That bit they sold you to cut the laminate is just kr@p, they do make a 1/4" router bit with the bearing but the 1/2" is just as good and will not crack the laminate, the important thing is that i has a bearing which is what you SHOULD use for this type of work. Best place to get router bits is MLCSwoodworking.com. They also sell the T-Molding bits there, I got the one with the shims which is the best if you use different types of T-molding. Sorry to tell you John, but you routed the laminated clockwise, that is why you got the edges so rough....I know, it's your first time and you were nervous. To remove those router imperfections you can use a metal file to smooth out the laminate edges flush to the wood. Anyhow, the Jump Bug turned out great and as always you did a great job. If you ever have any woodworking questions let me know (been a cabinet maker for over 23 years).

[@TexasArcadesTV]

Oh BTW, I forgot to mention that you can use SEAMFIL to patch that mistake on the Laminate. It's the stuff we use and will stick to the laminate and be just as strong and resistant. If you take your time and apply smoothly, you will not even notice it was there. They sell it in the same exact color to match the laminate, all you need it's the color code number, it's only like $4 or $5 bucks for the small tube.

[@adp810]

John great show cannot thank you enough. 2 intros is too much dude..lovè the.show

[@RoyAuckloo]

Brilliant video John, can't wait to see it in the basement. just wondering maybe a little bit of fine sanding paper and some bonding would surely fix around the edge, try it :)

[@nicholasloman]

Looks great john Good job. Put a little drywall mud or crawfords vinyl past "sherwin williams" on that spot.

[@darktetsuya]

Wow man the Jump Bug is really coming together! Looks really cleaned up from where you started at... can't wait to see it when its finished!! I do believe that it was one of the first games I checked out in MAME when I got into it back around version .30 or so, lol so I do know what a fun game it is. Sad to see the Gyruss go, but I suppose if it never gets played you may as well get rid of it for some extra cash or trade for a new game. Excited to see the last video when it's all finished and ready to join the ranks of The Basement, that's gonna be awesome! Great vids as always man have a good one!

[@IAMERORR]

Hey John do you live out of town, the environment seems really nice. Any chance of a tour?

[@jdenicola]

Awesome videos! Cheers from Argentina

[@rick83083]

Like the song you used while painting in the yard. Kinda Journey, Separate Ways sounding.

[@Johnsarcade]

Rick Beebe Thanks! Yeah, we tried making a song that we thought sounded like Journey would have made it. :)

[@Bunker27Goose]

Great job John! The laminate came out great! Rattle paint job looked good too! I've also been a roll out paint kind of guy and you may have convinced me to consider rattle in the future. As long as I get enough cans! :)

[@Johnsarcade]

Spencer Francisco I will be doing it again. It turned out pretty awesome!

[@JesseH76]

Man, I started a new job and haven't been able to watch many videos of John's Arcade. Nice to just relax and enjoy some of your videos and catch up. You don't know me, but I sure know John, and he's such a great host on his videos. Easily the most likeable, dare I say ... LOVEABLE, guy on youtube. Yes, I will say loveable! I love John and his arcade. Such a fantastic channel!!!

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks pal!!! Appreciate it. Thanks for watching. Hope the new job is going well.

[@Wagonracer8]

Hey john, I wore my Johns Arcade shirt to the Sturbridge MA Pinfest on Saturday, I was hoping to catch you there, did you go? My shirt is Blue but I found another fan of yours, wearing a grey one. Thanks for the new video tonight, I'm going to go watch it. 👍🏻

[@Johnsarcade]

Wagonracer8 Awesome you wore the shirt! I was there on Friday! Sorry I missed you. Thanks for wearing the shirt. YOU ROCK.

[@lionneko]

Hey John where did you get that laminate? I have a Galaga '88 that needs exactly the same stuff to cover up bare particle board

[@tonyurmate]

Hi John :) I love your videos but I have to ask if you use a dust mask while you do your sanding and spray painting? I just want you to be safe :)

[@Johnsarcade]

I really didn't need a mask in this video. There was hardly any dust!

[@elamriti]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech you wil regret it when you are older you wil see love the vids whats this company name in the netherlands itn ??

[@TexasArcadesTV]

+neutralbullet I agree also, plus you have to remeber some of these arcades might have used leaded paint or even if not, they might have mildew or mold and you will take all that in!

[@TheManofDew]

Nice video, but didn't you say you were going to cut counter-clockwise? lol. Keep up the good work.

[@2leet2cheet]

I think you might have got some air bubbles in the lam because you started using the roller in the middle working from the middle to the outside(that was good), but then you switched and started working around the edges trapping the air bubbles in the center(starting at about 1:37:10. However, you can't see anything from the video and I'm sure it's very minor.

[@oldskoolpaul77]

Great stuff!

[@kevlarunderwear22]

for safety reasons you should go counterclockwise, so you have better control of the router

[@Johnsarcade]

kevlarunderwear22 It's funny. I actually knew that. And I actually SAID THAT. But for some damn reason I didn't do it. LOL! :)

[@jamesw2560]

wasn't Outrun in that corner where Paperboy is now?

[@SlickEnz]

James W Outrun has been next to the Tron for as long as I can remember.

[@jamesw2560]

I have wrong corner, next to Tron

[@AKSnowKitty]

James W His Outrun is in the corner just to the left, sitting next to Tron.

[@BuxProduxshuns]

It's funny...when ever you ask a question, I reply out loud.

[@jsenigaglia]

Cargo shorts for...the...win

[@Loggins1969]

How do you keep all the screws apart?

[@Johnsarcade]

Loggins1969 I don't. :) I pray that I can figure it out later. I usually do by deduction.

[@Loggins1969]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Lots of people take pictures and stuff -- but you do it just by hand?

[@MaximRecoil]

Why didn't you wipe the excess glue off when it was still wet? A damp rag makes quick work of wet wood glue. That's what it says to do in the instructions printed on the bottle.

[@nocountry4oldmen363]

is that beer in background called ufo i bet its out of this world

[@Pixelhorizon]

That spray paint spreads into the air like crazy, be careful man... I understand you want to speak as you do the job, but... You probably do voiceover in this part of the process. Btw the cabinet is looking great :)

[@jaepee1359]

That was counter clockwise?

[@Chappie8824]

Is your counter clockwise different than mine?

[@Johnsarcade]

Lol. I have no idea what happened.

[@bane1229]

Hey John, I love your videos but if I'm being honest, the music from your band you usually put in them doesn't do it for me. However, the beat that plays around the 19:30 mark in this one is just fantastic. Is that you guys, and is there more like that? Keep up the good work, dude! I'm getting my first machine soon and will be going through your videos for all kinds of advice.

[@SIGARETTE-fn3hm]

Compliments to the hat of the Italian national

[@SuperJustinChannel]

R.I.P. Gyruss 2013-2015

[@colsaber]

What is the song at 1:10:30 .... sounds like journey inspired

[@Johnsarcade]

colsaber It's one of our songs. And yes, it is Journey inspired. It's called What a Trip. :)

[@etienneodk]

Nice vid! (as Always). Next time when you warn people to use protective eyewear when using a router, also tell them to put the glasses on the nose instead of on top of your head ;) "What a Trip" is Awesome by the way !

[@thetrafficshop]

Hey man, awesome work. I'm in the millwork industry. Let me know if you need some sources for custom colered laminates. Also, I'm sure you know but custom printed graphics are also available from most laminate manufacturers.

[@chuck12-82]

Dude, put on a dust mask. Those MDF and bondo/old paint particles are not good to be breathing in.

[@mysteriouspiggies9371]

yay part 7

[@arcadefever]

Amazing !!!!!!!!

[@mattrichardson4351]

I think I need a towel for this gym

[@DamianReloaded]

Awesome job John, the laminate does indeed look great. Maybe you can mix some bondo with white paint and fill that bit the router _bit_ out the cabinet. Also 1:10:31

[@Johnsarcade]

Damian Reloaded Well, we made that song to song like Journey. :)

[@DamianReloaded]

Oh, I just saw there is colored bondo out there. If you can get white I think you'll be able to fill that little gap pretty neatly.

[@mokthemagicman]

I had no idea that a Golden T was just basically a PC inside.

[@MystiqEevee]

At around 1:20:50 you're gonna wanna mute your sound if you hate nails on a chalkboard type noises as do I

[@SLAPSHOP42]

Another good method is using an extension cord instead of the dowels.

[@jonjandran]

Counterclockwise on the router. Thats why you had problems. Always go counter clockwise on outside edges. :) But good job. Well done.

[@Johnsarcade]

Jonathan Wild I know! I said that and then didn't do it! LOL!!!

[@TortureBot]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Lol. Noticed the same thing. Thought you would catch yourself on side 2 but you didn't. Seemed to cut cleaner counter-clockwise when I did it. Also, remember the bit will follow imperfections, so it's a good idea to check the depth of the bit to make sure it is not going to fall into any damaged t-molding grooves or knot holes., etc, or the cutter will basically trace the imperfection into the laminate.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Does anyone ever come across a Ring of Destruction: Saturday Night Slam Masters II arcade or pcb?

[@DJTitandigitalrevolutionradio]

The World record For Jump Bug Is 850,350 set by allen rager

[@james42519]

why laminate and not vinyl?

[@Johnsarcade]

james42519 Waaaaaaay better

[@james42519]

what no widows phone version? :P really though looking at getting a windows phone probably a lumia 640 maybe and wish people would stop only making a lot of apps for ios and android. people say don't use because don't have a app they want but the apps are not made because not enough people or something. can't be that much work work to just make it for make it anyways? hopefully changes when windows 10 cross platform app thing.

[@lasvegasira]

Hi John. Since you have the domain "johnsarcade.com" why not use that domain to host your viewer mail? That way, it can be "[e-mail]" and people won't have to remember your blkdog address and they don't have to worry about putting "viewer mail" in the subject line, because it will ALL be viewer mail!

[@AnalogX64]

Video in 360p only?

[@Johnsarcade]

AnalogX64 THE VIDEO IS STILL PROCESSING. It was filmed at 1080p 60 FPS

[@jdenicola]

Back to 2007! Nah it's still processing

[@TheNormalMCGamer]

AnalogX64 In the description, it says "This video is 1080p60 - STILL PROCESSING"

[@AnalogX64]

***** Not new to youtube, but first time I've seen a video up and viewable but processing at the same time.

[@Johnsarcade]

AnalogX64 It's not a 30 second cat video. :)

[@vintageclubjunkie]

You said to go counter-clockwise then promptly proceeded to go clockwise. I'm still watching the video, maybe you mention it later on and why you changed it up.

[@Johnsarcade]

lol. Did I really?

[@bobbyjack8033]

Anit how Shawn does it but nice work bro... haha

[@time4akshun]

1:37:24. I'm just letting it drop. Fuck it. LOL

[@mysteriouspiggies9371]
