The warranty is 90 days. I’ve had some issues with my T2 cabinet. As long as you have your receipts I found Arcade 1up’s customer service to be excellent and they shipped replacement parts fast.

I stumbled upon your video and said to myself, that guy looks familiar. Then I realized I put a flyback in that Rush the Rock monitor years ago. The collection looks nice! The hook pinball was really what made me realize who you were.

Hahaha! Small world! What's up Steve? How ya been?

[@underscore_the_best]

I actually purchased the tmnt arcade machine from 1up, it works pretty well, but with what Jesse was saying, they are very small. Great video guys!

[@TheAdventurersGuild]

How ya doing Underscore? I'm glad you like the Turtles machine -- that one looks pretty well made. I was curious what people thought of it.

Thanks for this. The $300 black friday pricing suckered me in, and of the reviews I think this is the closest to coming from the same place as I am. It's good to hear this gets some play in a house with a Rush the Rock. (I went for a 2049SE last year) Bummer about the audio--everybody else mentioned it too. Haven't decided if I'll do something about that, or maybe it's an 'enjoy it for what it is' toy.

Very insightful from an owner of fullsize arcades. The Arcade1Up's definitely have their place in the home arcade scene - they're targeted at folks of our generation (the 80's kid) and they bring that nostalgia to us at, as you said, the cost of convenience.

Just found out about a 2 day sale for ridge and T2 for $400. I'm so torn! Nice review

[@biggroyy]

Me too! Not sure which one I want to buy

[@TheAdventurersGuild]

Dude! Sick deal. My suggestion: picture yourself walking into an arcade. You see a Ridge Racer and a T2 cabinet. Which is the first machine you walk up to to play? There's your answer.

@@seanwan30 Nice score! Ridge won the day for me.

[@drewjenn9819]

@@seanwan30 I paid $370 total. Free shipping and a $60 promo code for getting an Amazon cc. Best deal out there!

[@rohdezac]

T2 and Ridge Racer are 300 on Best Buy and kohl’s today - + 90 dollars kohl’s cash! What a steal.
