for me, Galaga is one of THE best arcade machines ever.... If only I had the cash to own one.

@LyonsArcade 4 года назад

Definitely one of the best!

@nonamehjb Год назад

Brings back sweet memories. This table was my first arcade game in the ice-cream bar during summer holidays 40 years ago ❤

Galaga ... second favorite arcade game behind Robotron. Great fun :o)

Absolutely :) Thanks for watching Paulster2!

I got an older cocktail Galaga, #261, and yes it does look quite different! There are several splices in odd spots, and the ground wasn't attached. The fuses are all over the place--not one matched. And it's dirty! Thanks for the inspiration! Now, off to working on it.

Love the video. I was taught how to play by a guy who I watched playing very well in 1982. Your aversion to being picked up is not correct. With proper play and a double guy you are far better off. I’m sure that at my best I was able to easily pass level 100 with the first two lives. Not saying I’m the best player ever but I have been banned from playing it at different locations in the past. Usually after an hour or more of nonstop playing the challenge is just fatigue. It’s always great to see these games being kept up. I never did like the tabletop versions too much as they were more challenging to play in the position you would have to sit at, and the limited space for your hands with a more awkward wrist and hand angles.

Beautiful job Ron , saved another beautiful vintage cocktail arcade game , I loved back in the 80's and still do to this day .. thank you so much for stepping us through the repair process. I love to see each step and then see the finished product ... Thank you for filming it. i know how hard it is to repair stuff play stuff and hold a camera while you do .... Can't wait till the next video buddy !

@healeydave 4 года назад

Wow, my mind blown! Not from the video, although it was good, but by the fact that when you were researching the sprite problem, you quoted a guy called "JROK" on a forum. Back in the late 80's, I used to know a guy who went by the name of JROK who I believe left the UK (where I still reside) and went to live in the USA, pretty sure its the same guy, what are the odds I would start watching your videos 35ish years later and stumble on this blast from the past :)

@LyonsArcade 4 года назад

That's very cool man! He makes a bunch of kits and parts for arcade games, he really knows his stuff.... he has a website, you can check it out at Jrok.com .... if you'll notice, he has a Union Jack flying high on the main page, must be the same guy.

@healeydave 4 года назад

@@LyonsArcade Thanks Ron, he always was a clever fella :) I'm lovin the vid's, all these games are right from my era. In fact a bit later on in life probably around the mid 90's, I had a small group of placesI put Arcade games an pinballs into as a mini hire business. I used to have a shed full of old PCB's which I now regretfully got rid off. I also got rid of my prized possession printable "Playboy" whichI really wish I still had even though its not perhaps "PC" today :)

This cocktail game replaced the cocktail Galaxian at our local Pizza Hut back in the day.

@LyonsArcade 4 года назад

That's so cool you can still remember it... I'm a little younger but I remember when the local arcade came out with Mortal Kombat 3 and everybody started playing it instead of Mortal Kombat 2, it was so exciting to see a new game and not know what all was in it...

@MattMcIrvin 5 лет назад

I recently saw a Galaga at Canobie Lake Park where *all* the sprites had turned into solid rectangles--they were always in primary colors, red, yellow and blue, I think. I guess it was likely a problem with that 04 chip.

@LyonsArcade 5 лет назад

I would imagine so yes. Another way you can figure it out is if you take a working board and remove one of the socketed chips, it usually won't break anything but will tell you what area of the board you're messing around with.

The Galaga console was the very last video games I remember seeing anywhere. They survived in sub shops and Pizza Huts until about 2005 or 2010, or at least that's when I remember seeing the last of them in service. A true classic game, no doubt.

Whole thing was crazy, we had ONE SIDE that we picked up years ago somewhere, and then randomly saw on ebay some guy had just the other side for sale, lol.... so we bought it and finally had a set :) Phoenix Arcade and Arcade Shop both sell nice stuff though that's where I'd look if I needed a set.

@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965 2 года назад

I just got one of this but everytime I turn it on the screen just shows a letter F all over the screen and dowsnt go pass that. Any ideas on what is causing it and how to repair it?? Thanks in advance

@LyonsArcade 4 года назад

The power supply may be going bad and need rebuilt or replaced, or the game board itself has developed a fault, unfortunately it could be a lot of things, rom chips in it with oxidized legs that need cleaned, or a bad ram chip somewhere, etc.

@Columbiastargazer 2 года назад

Forensic Arcade? maybe some trials could use that ;)

@scottreisz2252 Год назад

Where are the power switches for the cocktail table games?

@LyonsArcade Год назад

They're down on the very bottom, right by the power cord.

@scottreisz2252 Год назад

Oh ok great, Ty. Went to go look at one today and the owner didn’t know where it was and I couldn’t find it either. There was one by the door that did nothing. It was a pac man, does that change location for the switch? Also, I don’t think it had the transformer shield, can you buy them?

@scottreisz2252 Год назад

Can you snap a pic of the switch so I’m looking at the right one when I go back.

@LyonsArcade 5 лет назад

@311hitwall 4 года назад

I guess this is a dumb question but how can one transformer step down to multiple voltages? Does it have multiple windings within that one structure?

@LyonsArcade 4 года назад

That's not a dumb question at all, yes it has multiple windings in it. Depending on length and gauge of the wire you get different voltages. There's even multiple windings on the input too, so you can use different voltages in, and get the same voltages out. Pretty complex transformers!

@donryba9545 4 года назад

I have a Super Pac Man cocktail table that was in the parent’s basement that has some water damage. Nothing works and there is quite a bit of rust. Without seeing it, is it worth trying to fix? The local repair guy says this game wasn’t popular and to not bother.

@LyonsArcade 4 года назад

I'd fix it if it were mine, depends on how bad the rust is I guess. If it's just the metal is rusted you can sand and repaint, if the inside of the cabinet is falling apart it'll take a lot more work of course.

@donryba9545 4 года назад

@scrapman502 4 года назад

You put your new Diodes in the power supply backwards! If you run the video back where you show the original diodes, you can clearly see the cathodes on the 1st 2 diodes are reversed from the other 2. Affter you replace them, they are all pointed the same direction.(18:33) Even when you are checking them you mention the positive lead goes on the anode and the negagitive goes on the cathode. (12:01). You can clearly see you put 2 of the diodes in backwards.

@LyonsArcade 4 года назад

You would think that but they weren't marked very well on the original diodes, it's hard to tell since two of them were black but they were all 4 the same way and the schematics show them like that too. When I check the one and get the voltage drop, I was checking it backwards but it still measured .5 because the one adjacent to it was a dead short... That power supply was actually out of a Gorf, if you check the manual you can see the orientation : pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/ARCADE/A-J/Gorf%20[Parts%20&%20Operating]%20[English].pdf

@scrapman502 4 года назад

My Bad. I actually HAVE the paper schematics to the Gorf Upright arcade and the power supply drawing clearly shows the Cathode (banded side of diode) of all 4 diodes pointing AWAY from the connectors. It also shows the other 4 diodes on the same side of the supply in 2x2 orientation. 2 facing front and 2 facing back. (isn't it wierd that I actually have the paper drawings?) Why do I keep this stuff?
