Old School WORLD CLASS BOWLING Arcade Game - Hantarex Polo Monitor Repair

[@ShawnBernard70]

"sometimes if you wiggle it back and forth it gets the dirt out" Another valuable life tip!! Thanks for filming the repair... You didn't have to do that!

[@naytch2003]

Speaking of wiggling back and forth..did you see Joe's dance moves? 🕺

[@UTubed119]

These were manufactured as kit cabinets by a company called P&A Enterprise/P&A Builders out of Chicago. Took me years to finally figure out who made these.

Nobody gets Joe ! He always gets the last laugh ! Nice work Joe , always enjoy your solo videos ! Don’t mess with good ole Joe “It’s Broke” Lyons ! 😂

[@mistermac56]

Nice work repairing and rejuvenating the game.

[@markjackson1444]

Very stylish work Joe. You sure are a master of fixing video games. Thanks for posting - you didn’t have to do that!

[@djmips]

I love you cackling about getting the last laugh. Screw those auctioneers who thought they got you!

[@naytch2003]

I can still smell that mobile home..least your shop doesnt smell Joe 😉..great video as always

[@pieandmashlover]

Great job, Joe. You did have the last laugh indeed! 😅

[@derekschaffer6963]

That looks great now that you've cleaned it up! Really like the t-moulding choice, fits it very well!

[@williamnutley5509]

Thanks, Joe, for the video. You and Ron have a good weekend!

[@jimp.7286]

Snappy tune, lol. Never seen this one. Love bowling themed games. Especially the older mechanical ones. Cheers.

[@pauz2175]

Great to see. I recently picked up a used arcade one up golden tee golf that has this bowling game on it. You’re right. Kids have lots of fun with this one.

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

P&L monitor is here in southern california. Many years ago I took some boards out of a star Castle to get recapped. They recapped everything and did a really good job. Their Turn a round was pretty good , a couple of days. I had a good experience with them back then and I believe they're still in business today. There in irwindale California.

[@elitster]

Nice dance moves!! Great video

[@dlschgo]

Great machine and great fix. I think red t-molding would look great, too. More pop.

[@arcadejourney]

That game turned out looking totally BOSS! I like the funky Z-back cabinet. The bowling games always get played! A true mainstay of any respectable arcade! :)

[@naytch2003]

Haha nice little dance there Joe!!

[@PapaSean69]

Great video Joe. Hope this improves your confidence in dealing with Hantarex Polo's. They're all worth the effort.

[@kevgret]

Incredible technologies went from this... to silver strike one of the best bowling games ever created

[@LyonsArcade]

Silver Strike is probably the best ever, this one is really good too though. Great game.

[@gumby510]

@@LyonsArcadeya I found that game on mame around 2003 when I built my first arcade cab. It’s also the first arcade game i introduced to my kids when they were 3. Super easy to play and so underrated. It’s push and go unlike silver strike with the pull back the trackball aspect of the game. Thanks for the video as always. See ya around klov.

[@michaelbrazda9531]

I have never seen that bowling game but now I am wanting one. It looks fun.

[@pezjohnson]

I think you found your new time-lapse pinball playfield cleaning songs . Joe with the last laugh! Blue T molding looks good with the color of the sides of the lanes in the game.

[@TheRealLizardKing]

Really cool, I've never seen this one! Thanks for the great video as usual!

[@clumaster]

this cabinet has a very similar back side shape as the Area 51 Cab you featured earlier. sort of like they took that cab and added an extension on the front to add support for the bigger control panel.

[@Vamptonius]

Video game preservation is a vital activity. Demolishing wood using resin is only fun.

[@SOSOGaming96]

Blue was definitely the way to go

[@buddyweiz]

Yes! Got it right 1st time! No idea was my thought too! 😁👍

[@izzynutz2000]

I'd love to have that game I've been in the bowling business for 50 years 25 of them I bowled religiously no I just don't bowl anymore I've been a mechanic for 50 years working on the machines that would look good in the corner of my house

[@AllanSitte]

Oh... I remember this one. I got pretty good at it too. I scored 300 several times on it. Then they pulled it out of the military dorm I was living in and replaced it with a pistol shooter game that I hated. They said broke and the vendor just decided to replace it. Hope it sells well.

[@clivedavies3]

like your style everythings really no problem to you take it in your stride.

[@naytch2003]

Sounded like Mickey Gilley on that thar piano Joe

[@redschafer7804]

it looks 100% better with the new T molding :D

[@slothsquatch5023]

Just a casual viewer here but these last few vidoes have surprised me. Always thought Joe only diagnosed the problem and Ronnie fixed the machines.

[@LyonsArcade]

Joey has always done most of the work, I just work on the arcade games when it's something he hasn't figured out and sometimes I can. I work on most of the pinball machines and jukeboxes.

Found it, it’s a P and A Enterprise Chicago Conversion Cabinet

[@kbramlett6877]

You mentioned “Capcom Bowling,” Were you aware that Capcom inked a deal with Coors Light beer? Capcom took the same game, and made some extreme minor changes. The first one is that the title screen advertises Coors Light by having a beer can crash through some pins. The second change is above the score panels, it reads “Coors Light Bowling” instead of Capcom Bowling.” And obviously only put in bars. Just like the difference between Tapper and Root Beer Tapper. Same game, just everything related to Budweiser was removed, and Root Beer was put in its place so that the game could be put in your standard arcade. A little trick for the Tapper games. On the title screen, hold down both of the taps, and eventually a screen with all who were involved with the creation of the game will appear.

[@sside8]

Great repair on the monitor. Did you have to do any maintenance on the trackball? Usually they’re dirty and rods are wore.

[@douro20]

Incredible Technologies insisted on having entirely their own, completely incompatible framebuffer hardware even though cheaper solutions existed which would have worked just as well. I don't think it was about preventing piracy because they didn't even bother to encrypt their code or use any other ASICs other than for the framebuffer. I think it was just for the cachet of having the ability to design their own silicon.

[@AnthonyPresley-l8f]

I’ve had one of these cabinets and I hated it😅 ended up burning it as I had a better cabinet so I swapped them

[@charlieromeo7663]

Great vid. I've been neck deep in getting an old Williams EM machine working properly. I see everyone seems to use DIELECTRIC grease for the spider contacts on stepper units. By definition dielectric grease is an INSULATOR and for the life of me I can't wrap my head around why folks think dielectric grease helps the electrical connection, when in fact it's function is the opposite. Why aren't folks using conductive grease? Have I been looking at schematics too long? What am I missing?

[@eDoc2020]

Ronnie's talked about this before. Conductive grease will connect adjacent connections which shouldn't be connected. The spot right under the moving contact pushes away grease so dielectric grease isn't a problem.

[@LyonsArcade]

Dielectric grease is an insulator like you mentioned, but so is the air. Now think, have you ever seen electricity move through the air? As you get contacts closer together, eventually the electricity will overcome the insulator and travel anyways. You're not trying to help the electrical connection, you're trying to help the lubrication of the spider disc spinning on top of the contacts. If you use conductive grease, like eDoc mentioned it will short together everything on the stepper unit and likely set it on fire as soon as you send power through it.

[@simonjandrell5897]

mushroom ballooned capacitors now back in the day the look of those things used to scare me to death

[@VulpisFoxfire]

With the cut in the back, it almost looks like that Area 51 cab you just did. Edit: Ah, but this one has back access to it, unlike Area 51 did.

I guess replacing the caps on a circuit board is a standard repair procedure and most times the fix huh?

Most the time when it comes to monitors

[@waynegram8907]

Why would you only see white diagonal lines across the screen when having a blanking problem? a Vertical Deflection problem means when the pictures is vertically collapsed or vertically shrunken, a Horizontal Deflection problem means that the pictures is horizontally collapsed or horizontally shrunken. I'm not sure what they mean by Deflection, Deflecting what? the RGB color signals

[@eDoc2020]

Deflection of the beam. Without deflection there's just a bright dot in the middle of the screen. The beam is swept across the screen one line at a time (this is called "raster"). It goes left to right fairly quickly and up and down slowly. When it gets to the bottom it moves back to the top which takes about a millisecond (vertical retrace) but during this time it's still going back and forth horizontally. If the beam is on during this process you'll see diagonal lines.

[@waynegram8907]

@eDoc2020 the blanking signal is triggering both the Vertical deflection circuit and triggering the horizontal deflection circuit? It seems that the beam outputs a reset signal to the blanking circuit when it gets to the bottom right corner of the display screen? The blanking circuit will send the beam to the top left corner of the display screen to start tracing the raster

[@eDoc2020]

@@waynegram8907 The beam itself doesn't do anything except for lighting up the screen. The vertical and horizontal deflection circuits as well as the video output circuits all operate mostly independently. During the retrace period the deflection circuit may send a signal which temporarily turns off the beam to suppress visible retrace lines.

[@waynegram8907]

@@eDoc2020 The Vertical Deflection and Horizontal Deflection is creating the Raster? I thought the video signals go to the RGB Guns on the CRT Tube to tell the RGB guns the Coordinates to draw the images of the pictures. The BEAM is lighting up the screen one line at a time sweeping across from left to right. The BEAM is "NOT the Raster" because its just a Beam Dot light. The RASTER is the Vertical Deflection circuit and Horizontal Deflection Circuit. The RASTER is cycling over and over by the V-Sync Oscillator and H-Sync oscillator on the arcade monitor circuits. Even if you disconnect the arcade game board and disconnect the V-Sync and H-sync the arcade monitors Raster would still be cycling from the top to bottom of the arcade monitor screen because of the V-Hold oscillator and H-Hold Oscillator. .The video signals has the X-Y coordinate Positions which I'm guessing the Vertical Deflection circuit and Horizontal Circuit gets its X-Y Coordinates Positioning to draw the images and pictures on the screen?

[@eDoc2020]

@@waynegram8907 The raster is the deflection scan pattern. When combined with the beam we get a full-screen image. The video signal does not include coordinate position, only timing information. X-Y coordinates only exist inside the game board's logic. The game board
