Good to see you learning others in the shop. Now Joe can say, “it’s fixed”. 😂
Awesome machine. It's been years since I have seen a Medusa.
Thank you for watching AC_Cobra14!
You guys are bringing this thing along! You really make repairing this old stuff seem doable, even if its from a crawl space covered in 30 years of neglect. This channel is a valuable place to learn about repairing pinball.
These guys approach is the best...fun and banter..
Yay! Actual soldering, woohoo, I've only been waiting 4 years, thank you 😊
That was pretty cool seeing the board work being done. Thanks for doing that.
I love watching you guys work through the old pinball machines. It's great to see Joe get involved in the videos. Can't wait for the next one.
The way you guys talk through repairs you make me feel like I could repair pinball machines
Ron and Joe working in perfect harmony, brilliant. Surprised to see all the displays working.
Joey always does a lot of the work but just usually not on video!
Didn't Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder sing a similar song? 😁
Pancho and lefty:)
I'm convinced that engineers of the day putting Alkaline batteries directly mounted to the CPU's was the very first example of engineered obsolescence. lol
I think its more of lack of foresight. Old overengineered batteries didn't leak, so maybe that was the assumption with alkaline batteries? You also see this issue in old computers as well, the batteries would leak and potentially destroy the motherboard.
It's not planned obsolescence, it's a maintenance failure. You are supposed to replace the battery every couple of years. The problem is people left the batteries in them when they put them into storage for decades.
@@ThomasWood3DPrinting Agreed. This isn't some home appliance this is a routed coin-op machine that is designed to last and these electronic engineers MUST have known this would be a ticking time bomb. Gross negligence.
They don't add mercury to batteries any longer so they are much more likely to leak these days.
I really think they intended pinball machines to be of-the-moment and disposable.
With the savvy you guys have repairing ICs, maybe you should make a video repairing all your broken Fluke meters. Lol
Sad to see Battery leaks ..
It was broke.... Wow, slow down Ron.... That's pretty technical... Help me understand....
And no lead free shit.. good job people.
I’ve not seen this game in action, but I’m really looking forward to seeing it up and running. … great to have Joe on board too.
So nice to hear her spring back into life again,reminds me when i bought a Vector years ago,all the troubleshooting...Absolutely adore this game,when they first came out,so bright coloured and enticing.and very addictive..with the skill shot..Awesome video guys..Thank you🙏x
Yes, I once had a WAY old electromechanical pachinko machine (which died a horrid death) that could’ve benefitted from their expertise…
IT ALREADY IS AWESOME!
I always turn the high voltage pot down until the displays just begin to flicker or drop out then turn it back up 5 volts. Most of the time I end up between 175 and 180 volts. It does make them run a little cooler which does help them last longer before they burn.
I've been to your store a long time ago, absolutely loved it. Weird question, you wouldn't have ran across crazy taxi by any chance?
We've had it in , in the past, but it was a lonnnnng time ago! Thanks for watching Eric, see you next time you're in!
Great content. Learned a lot from your detailed videos. Just started my first restore on my own KISS machine. So far just got the power working through the rectifier board. It was set up for 230ac. My other machines were mostly working when I got them.
Thank you Geeteoh won't be long and we'll be at your audio board video :)
Got to play one of these on the weekend - very cool game!
I got to clean up my shop after a fukn ram raid..3rd one in 6 weeks..
Great work it's a live😎👍
I have never heard of this game before. Can't wait to hear the sound board. Won't be driving this one home with one headlight much longer.
Hear a tip: If you are getting water in your headlight and its blowing the fuse, you can fix this by filling the headlight up with headlight fluid. The headlight fluid must be this stuff, dielectric, meaning that it will not conduct electricity and cause problems.
Great job. I have tried to repair a MPU board several times with poor luck. Even if you get it working it is still unreliable. The Alteck boards work great every time.
This will be a great machine when it's finished -- I'm curious what's wrong with the sound board...
Hi Joe,
For a future upload, would you be interesting on uploading a video regarding anything with the Neo-Geo? Would love to listen in on what you have to say about it. 8^)
Anthony..
I've done a few of them, check this out! - th-cam.com/video/YE_AntCW2rE/w-d-xo.html
Nice
Hey Ron!!
Come on people! Fix it! 😊
We're trying to :)
Great Video guys, Is that the first video where you put a new mpu board in? It was cool to see Joe fix that connector. If both of you guys are working on the machine, who is running the store? Thanks for filming. Can't wait to see the next video. Thanks Ronnie
They've used new boards before, they put one in a Future Spa for example. They also put one in a, at least one, Williams machine.
We use them whenever the Original is just too far gone. We are big fans of alltek especially after this video th-cam.com/video/jh2I8bst4ZM/w-d-xo.html
JOE CLASSIC, what is so different or advantages of using zipper flippers? Anything that Ted Zell did to the flipper mechanism that is different
Grab a tube of liquid flux, it'll clean up all those joints
Ron and Joe what are the typical life span of the capacitors in the pinball game or video arcade game? Like when they were bought brand new. 15-25 years? I was just wondering because I remember like on the regular home computer I believe from one manufacturer that made like the motherboard. Similar to like the mpu and similar boards that uses capacitors in pinball only smaller. Were of low or poor quality one.
Wow its raining up here. By by tree smoke.
As a technician please clean that Fluke those are expensive usually calibrated meters and it hurts seeing it like that it's just a cover wash it in a sink 😱😱
oh you're hurting really bad ohhhhhhh ohhhh i'm hurting I saw dirt ohhhhh
@@LyonsArcade Hahaha another butt hurt viewer?
I had a very well paying job at DOW Chemical only to see it go to Texas from free trade so sad !
U didn't link twisty
i'll add that in!
Hello
Yodelayheehoo
Busy
I beg your pardon?..I never promised you.a rose garden? 🌹 😁
Flux peoples!
Joe done broke it more...
Weebly mpus are better, cost less, and have better customer service...
I'm a loyal alltek customer especially after this video th-cam.com/video/jh2I8bst4ZM/w-d-xo.html They have always treated me great
@@LyonsArcade I used alltek for years, then when I did a warranty claim they sent back the same board not working still. Then I had another one broken alltek 2 weeks later, inquired about it, he got an attitude with me. That's when I found out about weebly mpus- love them!
