I am working through all your videos bit by bit. Sometimes watching them a couple of times to make sure I don't miss anything. I really enjoy watching the machine transform to their former glory, while keeping their story in tact. So many of these machgines are neglected once they stop making money. You can see the story of their life and leanr about the Operator who had them a bit too by the repairs/modifications previously done. Thanks a bunch for putting these videos up.
Thanks for watching Brendan, glad you're enjoying them like we do. Yeah I like trying to figure out what must have happened by what's left of them, it makes me feel like Sherlock Holmes :)
Beautiful restoration. Brings back memories, I used to paly this game a lot, down at the arcade in the mall. This was a neat little game, there were hidden things to do like push the fire hydrant to get the magic shoes, etc... other things that I’ve forgotten I’m sure. But thanks for videoing the restoration! Love the results!
Thank you CiscoWes, we appreciate you watching and sharing your memories... It's such a colorful good looking game but SO HARD! I think I filmed another video on here somewhere, where we play it a little bit and get our butts handed to us.
The highlight of my day was watching the video, but I was celebrating when your High Speed Pinball did it’s Attract mode at the 9:12, 12:39, 17:21, 21:03, 24:10, 27:23, 29:02 minute marks. Just like my own machine. High Speed is how I came up with my TH-cam & EBay name. Pinball541= I own a Williams High Speed pinball machine, and the game number for High Speed was “541”. Also, if you have a "Pac-Man 2, The New Adventures" for the Sega Genesis give it a try. It is VERY similar to Pac- Land. Hello from Phoenix Arizona!
Yeah it kept going and wouldn't be quiet! I usually film these out of order but coincidentally I was working on the High Speed, and the Pac-Land at the same time... and now i'm uploading the videos at the same time (all the High Speed Videos I've been uploading each Tuesday).
Get your very own Pac-Man toy : amzn.to/39gfKXz ANYTHING! you buy on Amazon after clicking that link doesn't raise your prices but gives us a referral tip, thank you!
Nice job on that Pac Land! Bet it looks better in person than it does on TH-cam. I have a suggestion to try. I used to work for an aircraft company and I applied similar decals to those you used on the cabinet fairly often. We used a product called Rapid Tac to apply the decals. If it is safe for the paint that you are using, I would highly recommend it. Mark where the decal will go with masking tape on the cabinet, lay the decal printed side down on a flat surface and peel most if not all of the backing off depending upon its size and your comfort level. Spray both the adhesive and the cabinet with the Rapid Tac. Put in place. Squeegee out the fluid and bubbles with a plastic scraper or other softer plastic edge. The beauty of Rapid Tac is that if you won't like where the decal is positioned, you can peel it straight back off if you haven't run the squeegee over it. It won't damage the adhesive or decal at all. Give another quick spray to make sure it is still wet and move it where you want it. It sticks well enough that you can walk away and get a better look and keep moving it until it is perfect. After you squeegee out the fluid, wrinkles and air bubbles, let it sit for a few minutes for the adhesive to activate again then peel off the facing sheet. I've used Windex, soapy water, alcohol/water mix, and a few other things people have suggested over the years but I've found that Rapid Tac works the best. But I don't think I would use it on a control panel that has creases in it like the Pac Land has. I think the vinyl trying to straighten itself back out would cause it to slip around.
I've been watching lots of your videos over the last few days. It's great that you're giving these old machines a new lease of life! It seems a bit odd that those decals don't have the backing paper split in the middle. I would think it would make them a lot easier to align.
Awesome watching you guys bring this one back to life! This was one of my favorite actual arcade machines when I was kid for some reason. I think probably just reminds me of the corner store that used get an arcade machine every month or so and swap it out. I had fun times in there , and this game always stood out to me for some reason. Thanks for the video , and great JOB on the work! Would be awesome to someday pay your store a visit ! Take care and keep the vids coming !
Thanks for watching, yeah this was a really cool cabinet and the look of the game was just awesome. I always liked it because it reminded me of the cartoon. Really hard game, though.
Great video. I'm hooked on you channel. One quick tip if I may? A safer way to apply the overlay is to leave the backing tape on the back, place it where you want it, then add a strip of masking tape across the whole top. You then pick up the bottom and remove the backing tape and gently ride the overlay down.
If you cut a cross in where the button holes are you can dry fit the control panel overlay by screwing in a couple of buttons. Then you can peel a little of the sticker backing off and secure that end to the panel. Then you can take you buttons out and slowly fix the overlay in for a proper fit.
Hey guys, another really nice restoration! I wanted to offer a tip when preparing the artwork. Before you peel off the backing, hold it down with some masking tape of your choice that way you don't get things stuck in places you don't want them to be. =]
Having worked at a sign shop, watching you apply those vinyl decals gave me so much anxiety, those big flat sheets of vinyl always had me holding my breath with my tongue sticking out and heart racing hoping I didn't mess it up. If you want to try another way to get those big pieces with the transfer tape on them on with a little less hemm and haw, you can run a line of masking tape through the center of the piece, tacking it to the cabinet, tear the backing for the adhesive at that line, apply it down, then work the other half up. That way you have all the time in the world to get it just so and you can lift and reapply until you are ready to get it absolutely perfect before you actually get the backing off and apply it permanently. That's how we'd get lettering on box trucks. There's also a tool you want so you don't have to use your hands is called a vinyl brayer. It's just a roller with a handle, with the air release stuff you can just run over any bubbles you see through the transfer tape.
@@LyonsArcade There isn't a right way, but there certainly is a wrong way with doing it. Whatever gets it on there and looking good is the right way. Other people liked hanging it From the top with a big line of masking tape, peeling the backing off then applying it from the top down. I never liked doing it like that because I'd always catch a big pocket of air or a gust of wind or something will invariably get something stuck underneath the vinyl. I liked working it in halves, even if it took a bit longer.
There’s a special trick during stage 1 during the woods when you jump over a tree and run back into that tree, you can skip straight to stage 5 or even higher. Tricks you learn while playing and eating ice cream during the 1980s 😂
This is great. ALL your stuff is hyper-interesting. I need your brilliance in remembering the name of an arcade game from the late 70s. It came in shortly after Pong, and I think maybe around the time of Night Driver. It was an upright cabinet and had two clouds on the screen, and you insert coin and you control a biplane that dogfights another biplane. It was all Just 2-D. Barely a step above the atari 2600 Combat stuff. Any ideas, anyone?
Wow, I havent seen one with the buttons before. In from the UK and the only ones of these I have ever seen are in 3rd party JAMMA cabs. there were some originals in the 80s i saw but they had a joystick. Im guessing the UK had a different model for Europe. Nice work tho!
I've had many, many people tell me that they only played it with a joystick so there must have been a different version with a joystick for sure. At first I thought it was just the kits were done that way but so many people have told me that I think there must have been another configuration from the factory that had it too... .
Those decals are stressful. The suspense is killing me! I once messed up a marquee and had to wait 3 weeks to get a replacement. No stress though. It's not like the world is watching Ron and making sure it isn't crooked 4 years later... OK, it checks out. ✅Makes me wonder if they had a jig in the factory they used to get them all perfect or if they just eyeballed them? 👁
They just eyeballed it, if somebody does it over and over again all day long they get pretty good at it, plus if they screw it up they have more parts there. I've had lots of games with crooked art from the factory, too, btw.
Hi i want to build a pac Land cabinet totally new starting from zero. Do you have any project or draw? What about the external measure of the cabinet? Thank you for helping me. I can start from Building cabinet.....

I grew up in the arcade era and have never even seen one of these. Very cool.
It didn't really go over like they wanted....
It was just a bit ahead of its time. Supposedly influenced Super Mario Bros.

Lovey job guys it's good to see you guys restore them old arcade machines keep up the good work
Thank you Roiberad, we appreciate you watching! See you on the next video!
What a thing of pure beauty. Look just like the day (before) it came out of factory. Amazing job.
It came out pretty nice!
I've been watching lots of your videos over the last few days. It's great that you're giving these old machines a new lease of life!
It seems a bit odd that those decals don't have the backing paper split in the middle. I would think it would make them a lot easier to align.
Some places are a little different but yeah it's never that easy to install them!

Nice but I loved the photo bombing Nugent pinball at the beginning
Yeah, right? :) We've got some old Nugent videos floating around on here :) Uncle Ted!
Of course I found it right after I posted that comment. Your right it would be awesome to hear better music on Uncle Teds machine
Seeing that just reminded me of the Pac Man pinball game.
Yeah right around the same time! We shot a video of one of those somewhere here on our channel....

Jim I couldn't get far enough to figure any of that out, LOL It would take weeks of losing quarters!
@@LyonsArcade yes, i am exactly the same, i spent a lot of coins back in my day and accidentally fluked the hidden trick.
I’d have given my left arm for this cab! ❤

Thank you Hope as always, see you on the next one!
Looks Awsome! Great job!
Thank you Dan, we appreciate it.
Great job man, looks fantastic
Thanks Vic! Keep it slick!

Have you tried using soapy water when applying decals like that? It might give you some ability to move it around after it's placed.
A wonderful work!
Thanks Evan, we appreciate it!
Bloody good job. Nice.
Thanks OneSwitch!
You could just burn the controller panel to get rid of the overlay, it’s very effective

ARCADE LIFE
YUP YUP!
Old school arcade having no newer arcade stuff because they're boring
Yeah! I agree.
Great game!
Thanks Jam!
@@LyonsArcade No Problem. Love watching you restore these wonderful games and all the love you guys put into it.
BELLISSIMO GIOCO
Thank you Nico!
The marquee isn't new. Its the original marquee.

You know it :)
Hi i want to build a pac Land cabinet totally new starting from zero. Do you have any project or draw? What about the external measure of the cabinet? Thank you for helping me. I can start from Building cabinet.....
I already sold this one, and unfortunately I don't have any plans for it...
@@LyonsArcade how much for a pacland cabinet? You can answer me on cavokay36@gmail.com (private customer)
Where did you get that side art sticker from?
Wait a second...you are not Joe?
There are two of us, Ron, and Joe, we're brothers.
Do you repair or sell 19 inch monitors?
Unfortunately we don't Arcade Freak they're hard to come by anymore.
@@LyonsArcade I hear you on that, do you repair them if I would send my chassis, I actually have a dedicated ms pac I'm trying to get running
