Broken Foot, Propcycle Repair, and other Arcade Projects

I just talk about the goings on in my basement arcade.

Milling out an Arcade Control Panel

I have a Marvel vs Capcom what is in a PVG/Semco (Hannaho) cabinet. The control panel is made from very thick MDF. I use a Smithy BX-288 to mill out the panel to sink the joystick base into it.

Other side

Propcycle USA and JP version side by side

Thanks to http://www.youtube.com/user/dacchaprop for posting a video of the Japanese version of Propcycle, thanks to that I was able to determine that both versions are the same except for the language.

Tips on removing vinyl artwork from an arcade game

This Galaxian I picked up for really cheap, the wood is in great condition, although the artwork was destroyed when someone converted it to another game and painted over the vinyl.

Donkey Kong Amplifier Hum

This is a quick video to demonstrate the hum in a Donkey Kong arcade game. This is normal, but some people don't like it.

Propcycle Perfect Run & World's 2nd Best Score

I know I said I wasn't going to upload another video until I beat the world's record, but this was a nice perfect run, granted I could have trimmed off a few seconds on the Solitar stage.

Adding a power jack to a battery powered device

I add a power adapter plug to a device that never had one. The connector I used will disconnect the battery when it is plugged into the power adapter.
