thanks

Catching up on your older vids, couldn't believe finding this one. I have a Winner cab here in the UK, it's in great shape, has the part to hold the bezel at the top, it's black metal. Must have been in Germany as it takes pre-Euro 1 DM coins. Same Packard Bell TV in mine, I opened it expecting to find valves but it's all modern and transitorised! Recapped it, the picture is as good as you can expect from a 40 year old set. Going to watch Part 2 now!

[@LyonsArcade]

It's a neat little cabinet, I love all those old school 'bronze age' games!

[@33danally]

Something so complex for such a simple concept/game and yet so awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks for watching 33danally, we really liked this one!

[@luapco1516]

Dang that's awesome. So stylish. Thanks for knowledge

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah I love it, such a cool game!

[@MrWolfSnack]

Pisses me off an old amusement distributor's warehouse got bought in my city that was abandoned 30+ years and this game and many more, including Volley and Hockey and more pinballs from the 50s were all in the basement and all got tossed out. Pisses me off I couldn't get over there to save them.

[@LyonsArcade]

man that's crazy, you'd think they would have just taken a day to have an auction or something, it would cost more money to throw them out, and you could actually get paid to have people come pick them up instead!

[@b.o.353]

That is neat never seen that before. Surprised that survived

[@LyonsArcade]

I'm glad somebody had the heart to stick it in a corner somewhere and hang onto it!

[@drstrangelove4463]

Such a cool video & history. The audio is awesome on that thing ! Love it

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah, we still have it here... i'm eventually going to break it out and shoot another video of it....

[@AlexanderSmith21]

It's a beautiful cabinet that the game is in

[@LyonsArcade]

Wait till you see the finished video :)

[@ArcadeFreak-gw5rp]

I look forward to watching your videos your like a wizard with these things.

[@LyonsArcade]

I'm not THAT good, we barely scrape by :)

[@jeppex5756]

Coolest cabinet ever!!!

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah it's really something neat, we're working on an actual PONG right now!

[@ed150arcade2]

I AM Very excited for this video! I have a Paddle Battle 😎 I haven't been this excited for a repair vid since I started in the hobby. Sad isn't? 🤓 I'm looking forward to this!

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks Ed! Part 2 coming up... in about an hour :)

[@Boomer8003]

This is very interesting

[@LyonsArcade]

How do you resist saying "Interesting, it is" ?

[@Boomer8003]

Joe's Classic Video Games right you are.

[@woodrailking]

Midway had games in 1964 and earlier, but this is probably their first video game

[@LyonsArcade]

Probably

[@metaljustice4518]

How cool is this?!?

[@LyonsArcade]

ICE. COLD.

[@aussieweaboo1054]

Is the Allied Leisure board related to the Australian arcade company Leisure Allied Industries?

[@LyonsArcade]

I don't believe they were, it was called Allied Leisure Inc, and was out of Florida in the U.S.A.... they went out of business in the early 80's and were turned into Centuri Inc so the company ceased to exist in the early 80's during the hayday of the arcade industry.

[@ChrisD4335]

with the diagram there it would not be too much to make your own board, it was so simple.

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah it's not that bad, quite a few traces though!

[@rickfisher8974]

Great videos, subbed.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks Rick, see you on the next one!

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

Wow so these early games were not easy to work on the tube side of things. So basically have to take the tv out then take that outter shell off then you can work on it. I am making a prediction that the electrolytic caps will need replacing. ;)

[@pauljs75]

If somebody got two of those, did they get a chicken dinner as well?

[@LyonsArcade]

Nobody's ever had two so I'm not sure!

[@azariayehezkel9064]

When the continue ? Part2

[@LyonsArcade]

Soon, we're still messing with the monitor, it has a little bit of a shake in it.

[@azariayehezkel9064]

Goog luck I cross my fingers

[@MrFabfol]

Hello, thank you for your video I have the same winner to repair...maybe you could help me : have you to find the good channel because of the uhf vhf signal system ? Was the box of the TV cut on the right too ? (I Can t see on the video) thank you

[@EddRay]

Where did you order your replacement components from?

[@LyonsArcade]

I just ordered it all from Ebay, NOS stuff. I had the chips already, I usually get them from www.Newark.com .

[@petebrooks6387]

What is the value? My Aunt has this exact game.

[@LyonsArcade]

Hard to say Pete, depends on who you sell it to. We're probably going to advertise it for $800 or so after we rebuilt it, etc. but we're a retail store.

[@andymouse]

I bet someone got paid shit loads to come up with the name .."winner"

[@LyonsArcade]

Yup!

[@bobbyjack8033]

Kool kool.. original paper even but instead of it saying after repair put damn back door back on, it should have said after repair put the damn GAME PCB BACK IN! lol

[@LyonsArcade]

YEAH! Jerks pulling the thing out, it's not even that valuable.
