If you're wondering about the Charles Fincher (finishing washer's mod) these are the specific items you'll need: Pan Head Machine Screws, #10-24 x 2 inch and Finishing Washers #10 Nickel
Thanks for the info , I really like that look. I defineatly like the bat style knobs more than the ball type on the joysticks feels better when playing imo. All my cabs and pandora boxes have them installed on them.
I absolutely dig playing Centipede with my neice. Sharing my nostalgia with her and seeing a special bond grow from that is priceless my friend. Great vid bud.

This has quickly become one of my favorite channels... cause it's like the every man approach. The only thing holding me back is that I want to get a replacement control board before I start.
Thank you so much! Appreciate the comments! The control board (like anything) is easy enough if you go step-by-step. I tend to do things very slowly to give myself a lot of time to think about how to do it.
Lol. I did a lot of these mods off my own brain. Totally worth it guys. Im on the hunt for new ideas, especially marquee lighting. Adding stereo sound is easy and worth it. Do it! And LED lighting. Coin slot is cool, but not worth it unless you make it work which isnt impossible. And now.....im getting into this video and seeing he's covering all this! Im still gonna post. Mod on peeps! Its a lot of fun!
Thanks for combining all these vids into one! Super helpful, great content. Needing to supe up my tmnt bday gift, got it playing chromecast/Netflix so far lol and speaker mod without the Amp.
Good list..I forgot about a few of those! Thanks for the reminder. Yeah Retro Ralph is da man! Lol. One great dude out there willing to help anybody out!
dave helmig did a damn fine job and im glad you found the video. you could add an hdmi splitter to the set up and an hdmi pass through and get your cab on the big screen 🤔
I ordered some dust protecting discs that sit at the base of the joysticks. It looks really sharp and cool if not authentic. Instead of those plain black discs, I have nuclear bomb warning sign discs.
I think my favorite mod would be the lights! That alone just adds a new layer/ or feel, to an already awesome retro project. Reminiscent of the old school arcades for sure!
on the washers those look great , does one have to change the screws to or just get The Hillman Group 2907 Number-10 Stainless Steel Finish Washer, 35-Pack
Has anyone tried recreating the 'floating screen' effect of the original Space Invaders cabinets? Seems like there's a lot of room inside these things so the big trick would be flopping the image on the display.
So many ideas man, and so far the community that is growing for these modded machines are pretty cool folks that share ideas and are cool towards eachother. My favorite mod so far was adding a amazon echo dot to use Alexa to turn mh cabinets on or off using voice commands. Its very helpful for me being disabled its not easy getting around or bending in akward spaces to hit a power switch so just being able to say Hey Alexa turn on Street Fighter and bam I transform into Ken Masters and whoop butt on Blanka etc. Really made it better for me at any rate.
I like the addition of the shelf idea too because it would really assist in making the cab more sturdier too. Plus mounting stuff would be way better. I got the Street Fighter Art and The Mortal Kombat Art so far from that Arcadegraphix place, have not installed them yet but man they look amazing. I am debating on doing graphics for my Rampage though I like the one they offer but after I did that green tape trick it kind of grew on me. I got that g box the guy has in that mario cab too but tbh I like the nvidea shield better it works really good and connects with my pc so I can connect all my Steam games onto the cabinet.
Turned my cabinet To multia arcade using raspberry. Also changed the buttons To Led buttons And Also swapped the joysticks To better ones. At some point i Will probably install New speakers To it.
speakers are really easy. you can get an amp to connect to headphone jack of video adapter that will plug into any old surround speakers or find some old computer speakers that have power built in. i used 2 sided tape and put them inside on the bottom, plenty of sound.
I wanna see if its possible to run two cabinets off of one pi for 2 screen 4 player action. I think thats all thats left for crazy mods at this point haha
Got mine coming in today! Will do a retro pie mod for sure. Like that spinner mod for Tempest that Glenn did on his show, so I may try that at some point too. Just going to enjoy it for now as I get parts to do the retro pie mod. Love the fridge mod, great way to use the empty space and save floor space at the same time.
@@GregsGameRoom you could put in a JAMMA harness in and put a Street Fighter 2 board in the Street Fighter cab to have a mini cab Street Fighter 2. So many Possibilities.
You should check out TheDanielSpies channel, he's got some amazing mods on his 4 player setup. Has a fridge in the bottom, cup holders for each player, an El Gato stream deck on the joystick console, a trackball and flight stick, his marquee is an actual ultrawide LCD screen. He's definitely put a lot of time into his set up.
Thats some pretty cool mods whats next a mini refrigerator in it red bull or mtn dew or some cola :edit i was in half way the video watching and SOMEONE DOES PUT A MINI FRIDGE INSIDE THE ARCADE I PREDICTED IT LOLOLOLOLOL
Great vid, but I disagree about adding different colored tape, as it gives an arcade cabinet a cheap and non-retro look. Suggestion is to cut the groove yourself, before assembly, and buy real 1/2 inch tee molding.
Now i do like the fridge idea. I was looking for a base for my home made bar top arcade and that could be the answer. By the way have a look at my home page and let me know if you like my home build. We could swap some tips
Zane Ramos I don't know if there is one, but it's simple. That was my first mount idea. Amps have left and right speaker outs. You can add a second channel by drilling some descrete holes in the top of the cab and drill mount a speaker in the cab. It works. Just look at the built in one. It will make sense.

I purchased the #10 washers through Amazon. They work well with the TMNT cab but when I try to use them with the Final Fight Cab, the screw won't go all the way it. I turn and turn and it never tightens.
🕹️🕹️🕹️Yo Greg!!, I want to replace the joystick in my Pandora's box for an Ikari Warrior style rotating joystick. Do you have a link to someone that has an exact drop in assembly so I can play those types of "move and twist" games? Also can you make a simple video on how to install the 12 way rotary joystick? Thanks man.

@@BrandonPinoyEvans My TMNT cab is the same way. I had to push down on the front part of the control deck to get the screws to seat in. I'm worried if I had these washer it will be the same story all over again.
2:27 the first thing i did was add a shelve. 4:58 double coins slot with quarters mechanic is $50 at shop.xgaming.com you can get just the door for cheaper. but xgaming made the best steel door it even comes with red leds. i want to replace the back cover with plexglass but I cant safely drills holes into the plexyglass. i was told to use stepper drill, but i have no success with any yet.
Cool modd. Iv just started putting my arcade build on my you tube. Let me know what u think. Soon i am going to modd it and put an xbox one paired with a raspberry pi 3 b plus via a switch unit . Best of both worlds having retro and new games on one arcade.
I just picked up a SF2 Arcade1Up on sale at Wallyworld and man I have been in daydream/RU-vid (hell?) lol. I have so many ideas. One thing I am thinking on doing is I have a HDMI switcher and USB switcher. I like the idea of hooking a switch to this and if I could switch video and USB to the switch taht would be awesome.
My joystick on the galaga machine get stiff and hard to move sometimes, can you link me a better joystick that wouldn’t get stuck and is easy to move????)
Hello,would you have any tips on actually making this thing maybe work straight outta the box.My (minimum wage earning) Daughter's bought it for her Mother for Xmas and they are both horribly disappointed. I've got it together properly yet nothing but black screen when plugged in.As a Dad I'm more pissed at the Chinese junk than anything else ,I mean right outta the box????It's a Galaga 40th Edition p.o.s,thank you 🌲
At time 1:55, showing is your Asteroids/Centipede 1up arcade, but on the screen you have ms. pacman playing? I have the 12-1 Asteroids/Cent arcade but it does not have ms. pacman. I was totally unaware that A1 even put out ms. pacman. Can you tell me how to get it?
If it is not too much trouble you could indicate a site to download a template for my machine, to locate the buttons as in street fighter 2, I have the arcade1up rampage
Hey what’s up boss, i have a SF 1Up cabinet and i can’t seem to get my controls configured. I’ve tried everything to the point where i just wanna sell it
Please keep making videos just like this format. You hit all the valid points timely and gave the shout outs so we can find the mod we like. Otherwise you pop too much lol
I'm in the process of modding mine (it's been 3 weeks so far), still waiting for parts and such, but I've got some of the basics down. Wish I could join the FB group, but it's closed.
I was laying my mortal kombat arcade 1up last light and the power box burnt the wire burnt thru the plastic so iam gonna pay 500 to mod it led buttons 20,000 games mame and new speakers with amp headphones jack
Ok so after looking at these arcades they arent worth it u buy it for 300 bucks spend 300 bucks to make it playable.... no ty i made one for 300 bucks and it came out good
Better off buying a full size arcade cabinet instead. Shouldn't have to spend $300 and have to upgrade joysticks and buttons. Not like decent ones see that expensive, should have been done in the first place since they would get a bulk discount.
A bookshelf mod? Come on! These are all 100% cosmetic mods. Change art, add lights… Refrigerator mods… It was showcasing others mods. Wasn’t what I was looking for.
