    It’s mind boggling that all those sounds are generated with analog circuits. Those 70’s designers were amazing!

      Yeah, it's really impressive. Some dude said "Yeah, all I need is some capacitors, some resistors, and some transistors and i'll make it go "pew Pew Pew" LOL

    I am a pinball person. Once I saw your videos on High Speed, & Pin-Bot I instantly subscribed, A LONG TIME AGO! I own both of those machines by the way. Hello from Phoenix Arizona.

    I just started watching your videos and they are fantastic, especially since I have a full sized Centipede and Asteroid that are functional and in good condition and a small stand up Asteroids that needs some work that was tossed in with the Centipede when I bought it 15 years ago. It’s all there and looks to be in good condition. I’m sure I’m going to be buying a EPROM burner and a few other things soon. You make it look like fun to repair the machines. I played both games when they came out instead of going to college sometimes. Thanks for the awesome, helpful videos. Greetings from Washington state. Thanks

      @@LyonsArcade thanks a lot. I’ve repaired a trac ball wheel by replacing one on a Centipede game but that’s all so far. Your paint job on the Wild Fyre pinball game was excellent. Keep the videos rollin’ and I’ll keep liking them. Thanks!

    Get yourself some of the mini test clips. They have a spring loaded plunger arrangement and are a stiff wire with a hooked end so you can easily clip one on an IC pin and it will stay there securely. Also it’s safer to put a small resistor in line as either a pull-up or pull-down rather than connecting an output or input pin directly to +5 or ground.

    One of my favorite games. Love that this one is in a lunar lander cab. I heard Atari build some asteroids with lunar lander cabinets :0) I just picked up a Arcade 1 Asteroids Lunar lander Major havoc mini cab Should be cool.

      Very cool man, the only thing I don't like about the Arcade 1's is they're so short, i'm 6'1 and just can't do it!

      @@LyonsArcade you're welcome. Your channel is awesome. I like when you troubleshoot and the schematics. Its all great. You should get a Fluke meter probe auto accessory kit to test those tiny connections. Sparky Channel did a review on it 4 days ago. 👍

    I missed out on a 100% good working asteroid cocktail arcAde game for $350 but I had a stand up one at one point and sold it wish I never sold it and the one for $350 had a save kit in it too so I can save the score

    • @LyonsArcade

      $350 is a steal on any Asteroids that's working....

    I had to look up what a 566 was. So it is an oscillator like a 555, but it is voltage-controlled.

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Honestly it was because I confused the 566 with a 556... 555's and 556's go bad a lot... once I noticed it was a 566 (completely different) I already had it in my head that it must be the problem, lol.
