Ok, I can tell you exactly how your control deck is attached because of how I heavily modified my arcade standup virtual pinball machine. It is glued with a like liquid nail substance then those blocking strips are stapled into the cabinet. Real pain to take apart cause I needed to remove 2 and cut down 2 others vertically. Great job man, enjoy your new toy!

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Interesting! I hope I'll never have to take it off haha.

[@Raulicious_]

interesting info!

[@ThePaagshim]

Ive never had a real arcade but i have to think going through and cleaning it up has to be an enjoyable experience seeing how much u can bring the machine back to life.

[@KimboRice93]

I think that process of cleaning it up might be more fun than the game itself haha. Great video! The cab looks awesome!

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I have to agree with Kimbo on this one, its really kind of fun. Especially when its easier stuff like in this video haha. Giving them the love they've missed out on for the last several years is nice.

[@Raulicious_]

it is a nice work

[@Y0Y0Y2K]

I really love seeing these update/repair vlogs. Enjoy watching these old cabinets getting some fixes. Thanks for sharing!

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I'm glad you enjoy it! I'd love to these more often. I almost went to buy another cabinet but it sold before I got there.

[@Y0Y0Y2K]

@@KillerArcadeGames Doh! While my wallet sighs in relief after those kinds of misses, I always feel bummed. Any chance of spilling what the cabinet was? Curious minds are dying to know!

[@KillerArcadeGames]

@@Y0Y0Y2K That was an Invasion The Abductors cabinet. I didn't really want the game itself but it was in a Midway cabinet with a great looking monitor. My plan was to get it, do some videos on Invasion itself, then slowly start the process of converting it to an MK4! The Invasion PCB can be turned into MK4 and I could have rehabbed the cabinet and put art on it. I was going to offer $400 but he had it up for $500 and it sold.

[@Raulicious_]

it is really cool and a great work

[@ugandahater]

I love the attention to detail right down to the click of the start button. 👍🏻

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I hate those cheap microswitches! haha. I'll get them replaced soon. I just didn't want to pay a premium when it doesn't affect gameplay.

[@OverThinkGaming]

Great video. I was glued to my seat watching the whole thing. Love these videos.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I'm happy to hear it, I wasn't sure if people actually wanted to see all of this or not. I hope to do more of these in the future. I'm always looking for more cabinets.

[@retromod6488]

Good choice on the T-molding. Black is safe, but a color like Red really pops.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Gotta take chances! It does look better than black.

[@twrmz]

Very nice, loved seeing the clean-up process, i played this game once when I was younger, but boy did it speedrun my quarters out of my pocket

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I can see this being a major quarter muncher. Not having to worry about that is very nice. I just paid a ton of quarters up front haha.

[@Raulicious_]

Yes, not easy but really fun

[@bootootheduck]

I like the fact it's got a little character to it. Cleaned up well but embracing this isn't factory new. The history is awesome. Looks tops 👌!

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Yeah me too. We also scratched it even more when moving it into the shed haha. Battle scars!

[@cleetusvandame]

Bristle brush / air compressor and that speaker dust will disappear in seconds. Nice job Chris!

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I'm dumb. I have a compressor in the garage!

[@philyazzie3474]

I had missing red on my TTG. I ended up reflowing the RGB input pins on the chasis. That seem to fix the problem. Someone also recommended reflowing pins on the neckboard but I've had issues with the pins on the chasis with other cabs so that was a starting point with me. Good luck.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

We tried that first. I was hoping that was all it would be but I didn't get lucky. Were now trying to replace the chip on the neck board. Beyond that, I've had someone offer me a neck board from their parts bin to hopefully fix it.

[@NightYoshi]

Looking real good so far KAG! Well done.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Thanks! I hope its fully functional soon.

[@cidsantiago4221]

Thanks for posting. Hopefully you post new videos how to fix different issues. I’m new to this so this video is very helpful.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

If any new issues arise, I'll make a video. I've been lucky, it's been running just fine since we got it all fixed up.

[@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade]

Nice score bro! 😮😎

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Thanks!

[@Raulicious_]

Fantastic work, congrats!

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Thanks!

[@RickyCespedes]

You made it look really good.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Thanks!

[@atranfanatic]

I missed your T-molding poll, but I would have chose the red for sure. And wow that really pops man! Also thanks for the tip on cutting the corners while installing. That will help me out with my wife's PC modded A1up Frogger 2 player cabinet and my A1up PC modded Space Invaders 4 player. And the video went quick and didn't seem long. I thoroughly enjoying watching it!

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Im glad I could help! Im no pro but I’m just sharing info given to me by more experienced people.

[@oscarestivencarabalyherrer1279]

The cabinet of Target Terror Gold is all good as new

[@KillerArcadeGames]

As good as I could get it. I would have liked the side art to be better looking but it is what it is.

[@oscarestivencarabalyherrer1279]

@@KillerArcadeGames I think so

[@haydenetic]

I played a boatload of TT at my local ice rink growing up, I'm wondering how that cabinet is holding up to this day lol

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Its shocking how well these machines are built. My oldest game is Killer Instinct and its in great condition. All of my cabinets could be put back in arcades and probably run 10-12 hours a day and do just fine. Its crazy!

[@Undar8ed03]

Looking good bro. Got me interested in a shooter now!! Thats really all I'm missing. I didn't really play many sports games except nba jam. What model is the monitor??

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I love my emulated gun cabinet but you can't beat those Happ guns on a CRT. Its a Wells Gardner D9200 27 inch.

[@Undar8ed03]

@@KillerArcadeGames I have 2 of those beast and they both need work!!

[@Raulicious_]

NBA JAM is really cool!

[@pek3to]

awesome

[@KillerArcadeGames]

👍🏻 I can't wait to get the monitor fully working.

[@TheBigb1973]

Seeing these machines in 1 shot makes arcade 1up look more like a half scale and not 3/4 scale. 🤔

[@KillerArcadeGames]

It is pretty hilarious. Even my modified 1Up with the larger screen is dwarfed by the full sized.

[@COZ-1973]

Oh. you Got a Target Terror. Nice 🤓

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Yeah! I've been trying to wait to play it until the red color is fixed. I want to experience it properly.

[@ArcadeAdam]

please put some screws in that speaker, its killing me...

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I do plan to go to Lowes and get some to fit it. It started bothering me when editing.

[@Pinballroomcville]

Every other video I watch on touchup of cabinets they frown upon sharpies, good luck

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I gave up pretty quickly on it. We even scratched it more when moving it. Its just going to have some scars haha.
