I paid £58 for this generic clone of a Pandora's Box from of on off eBay. It was listed as broken, powers on, but joystick, lights and buttons don't work!
Let's try and fix it!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

As someone who used to own, restore and repair arcade machines - you were right about the buttons - earlier arcade machines used leaf switches, newer ones used micro switches. Leaf switches were great, but sometimes needed adjustments as the ‘leafs’ would get too close together meaning there wasn’t enough travel in the buttons or joysticks

Ah thanks Kip! That makes sense. I've just ordered some Sanwa buttons from Amazon... hopefully they'll be genuine and the leaf-y kind! 😁

Interesting to know Kip Hakes. I used to work in arcades for years repairing video games and fruit machines, pinball machines etc. I've still got a box of old boards somewhere, and I think an original space invaders pt ii board too! Yes the old games like space invaders, galaxian etc used leaf switches I remember trying to clean the contacts on them!

I love these vids where you're repairing a cracked board. One of your vids like this was the "Ah-ha" moment for me. I finally felt like I understood enough to try my hand at these kinds of repairs. Just resurrected a cracked PCB :) My first of (what I hope to be) many. Thanks so much, Steve!

The internals on these Pandora sets are always so lovely to work on. Yeah they're cheaply made, but it's all bog standard pinnings and software, and there's nothing going on you can't understand by simply looking at it. The fun part is putting what you like in place of the cheap stock parts.
@lookitskazzy
@lookitskazzy Год назад
Those buttons are standard 30mm. Anything will work (try Sanwa, Seimitsu, or equivalent clones). Terminal orientation doesn't matter, you can connect the buttons either way. The clear part for the stick you kept calling the gate is indeed the gate. :) If you want to add more strength to the PCB repair, desolder the micro switches and add epoxy across the top of the cracks. Great work!
@BigEpinstriping
@BigEpinstriping Год назад
well, sort of. The clear part is the base plate, the center part of that base plate should have a removable round gate, they make hexagonal 8-way, circular and square gates, If you remove the base plate, you can push/turn the gate to remove it. The square gate has the added bonus of being able to rotate 45 degrees to switch from square (8-way) to diamond (4-way) operation, which comes in handy for old games that used a 4-way like Pac-Man. any sanwa-style gate will work, or you can 3D print gates as well. Some of the knock-off joysticks have a one-piece baseplate/gate. Even on my personal pandora clone, the gates can be replaced. One last tip: replace the screws holding he lid closed with thumbscrews; makes it easy to open and change gates, bad buttons, etc. These are easy to mod.

I know it's been a while since you did this but I have had great success using JB weld to repair broken PCBs. It's not just a matter is gluing the split pieces back together but also reinforcing them. I'll often use a small aluminium washer and completely cover it with the JB weld. So far I've never had one break in the same place. With these joysticks being a heavy use part I can imagine those small sections are VERY high stress and prone to breaking.

I would've glued the PCB like you did, but I would've used a small piece of wire between the endpoints of the PCB traces instead of repairing the trace itself. The soldered repairpoint is under mechanical stress now and prone to breaking / microfractures. A wire between the points where you checked continuity will survive flexing of the PCB halves. Other than that: as always, enjoyed your video. It truly is something I look forward to each week! Keep up the awesomeness! Don't ever change Steve!
