i like to imagine our mouse friend met another mouse, had a family, and is telling his kids about the time he survived the day his house started moving, being taken to a whole new world, and then being lifted into the air by a giant. Hope our mouse friend his having the time of his life right now.

I would love to see a part two. Seeing a time-lapse of the restoration is super fascinating, especially when you document what work goes into it and everything.

Hey! you beat me to comment this. I would like to see the follow up, it was a super interesting project. Cheers!

[@builderbosc]

I agree, I would like to see how the cabs go

[@teneesh3376]

But we aren't getting part 2 for a while. Cause A) restoring one is going to take a long time B) this is costing a lot of money, so gonna take time to get the cash and have enough to live

No part 2 unfortunately as he's sold the cab

That mouse is such a cute bastard. He had his time of his life adventruing somewhere he never knew.

Im imagining an alternate reality where the mouse was never found, and now him and luke are playing on this thing, rocking this lil guys home, and im just picturing that meme with the guys being thrown around in the back of a car Obviously this could never happen, even if the sandblasting and painting wasnt a part of the process, but let me dream, dammit

[@beelzemobabbity]

I mean, if he chose to not clean it he probably would have lol. I imagine the mouse getting angry at “noisy upstairs neighbors “

[@KeyboardMoment]

Well, there was actually a reasonable chance the mouse left to get food and hid out somewhere as he was cleaning. When it was all assembled the mouse finally goes back to his home and builds a new nest in the shiny interior

i always love seeing the old arcade stuff be re-built and re-use. it's a very satisfying feeling to see the finished project. it's sad when arcade machines just get thrown out, or mis used

[@EthanCGamer]

As an arcade technician I've had to do the throwing out of arcade games, some are harder to throw out than others. I felt really bad about having to junk a Time Crisis 4 cabinet, also felt bad about the pair of Sega Rally games. Not too sad to see the old skee ball games go, though.

[@alligator64]

where is the other video??? i cant find it

[@smollmoth6376]

I know I shouldn't be laughing about this, but the idea of KK seeing the previous owner spraying their par and then going, "I should do that too" is so hilarious it's like a lemming seeing one jump off and deciding to follow.

Epic update since mice are talked about in this video: Clue now has a pet mouse called Mira and she is adorable

[@goddish8065]

Having help is the biggest difference you can make. Unfortunately I was alone in trying to restore my GX pads when I bought them, and I spent about 30 hours over two days and only got a tiny fraction of what youve got done done. Now that I see how nice it looks coated I want nothing more than to do a complete tear down and re-restore all over again. Awesome video, keep it up.

[@alishegamer8490]

There is a song named 'Cabinet man' about a guy combining himself with an arcade and i like to think that the mouse in the ddr pad is the closest irl thing to that song

[@Mandrake_root]

I loooove watching this kinda stuff, its so cool that you're learning it as you go and giving people tips too! There's something really beautiful about making old things new again, especially when there's a passionate community behind it too. Even though it's still very expensive to restore something, maybe sometimes even more so than buying it new, it's just so good for the world to make use of what of what already has been made before letting it go to waste.

[@kkangelcake]

This was so fascinating! I’d love to see more documentaries of your projects!

[@Daramgaria]

I've tried playing Pump It Up. But in goddamn Mississippi (poorest state ever), all of the arcade cabinets have unresponsive pads. If only every arcade here would hire you for repairs.

I'm on the cleaning part. Let me give you 2 INSANELY helpful tips 1. you can rent a shopvac from Home Depot for super cheap. 2. any type of hardcore Degreaser should be your go-to for cleaning. Since sitting dirt tends to get super stuck on

[@aneel7337]

I would love to see more! This is really interesting, seeing things get cleaned and sandblasted is relaxing, and it’s aspirational as someone who has dreamed of owning something like this for years.

[@husky6732]

Bit of advice, acetone works extremely well at removing stickers, decals, and any kind of sticky residue. Just be sure to wash it after putting acetone on it, since if it's a strong acetone, it can melt plastic

quick question would it be possible to get a enamel pin of the mouse

[@saikothesergal]

Hey, scratched plastics that are smooth/transparent? Use Nu Tone Scratch doctor and then buff pads on a power drill UwU. We use that alot at my work for laptops, consoles, etc. Also make sure that it the plastic has an image on top like a decal that lights up that the image isnt on the top where your polishing but on the bottom or you'll sand away the decal :3

I really love this video for an enviromental/ living reason as well. It shows just how much work goes into something that we forgot to take care of. It's so much more effort to save this than it was to just keep it clean regularly. Thank you so much for doing this, pouring life into a machine that would have just gone to landfill.

I like how you solved the bracket problem for the old pads. And nice job on restoring an old cab like that. This was fun to watch. Also, what version did it come with cause I'm guessing that it only had an MK6 motherboard. Thinking of getting an MK9 and either Pump XX or whatever the new version that should be coming soon? And keep us updated with the game. Also, cute mouse. If ya had kept it you should have named it BanYa.

As an owner of two Namco Motocross Go arcade machines, restoration work isn't easy. Had these two for nearly two years and still they aren't in a playable state yet (missing parts).
