Just a couple of roboticists trying to have fun after work/on the weekends. Stay tuned for our arcade restorations, random robots, unnecessary home mods, cosplay, outdoor adventures, and whatever else we decide to do!
@@nicolewolcott Happy to have you here and we love it too! It's a pretty rare bird 😉 Cocktail games are perfect for a relaxed evening with tea and cookies!
@@retrobotics EXACTLY. My dream cab is def the full sized Crystal Castles, but we'll see! Hopefully I'll be in a wee bit bigger house than my current one before I find one 🤣🤣
You can take that 40w laser and make a phased plasma rifle. Skynet converted all of these Philips LD players to plasma rifles because of their 40 watt range.
I vividly remember playing this game in multiple arcades growing up as a kid in California in the mid '80s - specifically the sit down version. Seems like they were always next to the skeet shooting game (Namco "Shootaway"). Every decent arcade seemed to have one around '84-'85 & then they all suddenly vanished. Good to see you keeping at least one original around.
I have two cocktails! A millipede cocktail that I’ve had for over 20 years and I recently got a home use only space duel cocktail with less than 400 plays and it is stunning
Mk2 CPU are notorious for button reading you need to exploit them to be consistent at the game at all in single player. As someone who is big into the fgc and understands fighting games no one is "just good at fighting games" it takes some any dedication, but after you understand one it's much easier to pick up more and learn fast
SOOOOO. BIIIIIIG. I have seen one of these in person and the scale in video does not donit justice.......and whats even better than a gigantic cabinet is the fact the Sam referred to it as RAD. 🎉
I had a similar situation to your pickup. Listed as arcade game. But free, lucky me I was first in line so I got a FREE Tron. Complete sans monitor and back doors
Nice work. I restored one of these a while back. I was never able to reglue the magnets and successfully calibrate the player. Instess I bought a player that was repaired and
Yeah, the players are difficult to take on. We tried three, and only had success with two of them. Sam's 3D printed jig makes everything easier though!
Wow! Incredible pair of pickups! The thrill of the hunt is one thing, but getting games in good condition is the icing on the cake! Will you ever run out of room for games?! Congratulations on your PhD!!!
awesome video restoring this old machine. Out of curiosity where were you googling all the time. my brother has had a Robotron that I gave him years ago and I am having a hell of a time trying to fix it after his kid kicked it.
forums.arcade-museum.com/ Lots of great information here for old games like Robotron. Best resource around. Sorry to hear about that robotron though. Check the connectors if it died after a kick. The original Williams connectors on the PCBs were terrible, and may need to be cleaned or replaced.
Haha thanks 😂 Those aren’t on the list currently, we got to try out both before but we would rather have the original Star Wars game and we could always play Empire on it using a multi kit.
C2 ....D4......F7 The most PLEASENT SOUND AND LOOK AT YOUR LABLE AND PLAY MUSIC HORIZONTALLY for 25 cent. In my days in Tony' s little dinner which we called it 2 names Fat Harry's because around the corner was the back and they played illegal Numbers games. But that Seeburg Jukebox was the funkest Box on Germantown Ave in Mt. Airy in the late 60's and 70's and loud after 4 pm . Because all the students came there to dance in this Afro American Black funky shack. That Jukebox never stopped. We danced so hard that the suspension would rock back and forth without skipping a beat ! Just to show how well made the burg could handle the stomping heat . Negros Dance yaa we do lol . With Tamla lable Motown labels Stax lable Atlantic label Blue Note lable Prestige Lable Epic lable from Sly & the family Stones to LULU it was a rock to R & B Jukebox eclectic. The record man would replace the stylus frequently. And FIRE WOULD ROAR AFTER THE CHANGE . Seeburg was dynamic in there bass and highs because there tweeters where up top left to right .Harry had his modified with a extra amp and tweeters because he said i like to hear my horn section from jazz45 's. The doller gave 7 to 12 selections depending on how much coins went in . I think for those special long album played specials was 7. Which i thought at the time how did a album play on them . And all along it was a 3 to 4 song 45 on each side. Seeburg is my box of choice..then Rowe and Rock olla or Whirlitzer. Even thou there gems in there design. Thank you for the slow motion stop and pull and play mechanism display. I love seeburgs .They should revamped it for today . Since vinyl is coming back in for the ones that missed the WHOLE BEAUTY OF RECORD PLAYING AND THE LABLES AND COMPANIES THAT HAD THERE SOUND TO IDENTIFY WITH As well as the beauty of labels. And lable making . So to identify. Missss THAT!!!! Very much so . Thanks YOU. 🌀👋🏽🎼🇺🇸
