What It Is This is a kit that attaches to the coin input on a candy cab, and uses a fake coin to become a credit input switch. It can be connected to the existing coin mech wiring, or to a service button, or wherever you'd like. The fake coin can be replaced with a real coin (or token or...

I've created a few useful things that sell fairly well, but they sell far better within Australia than they do to North America or Europe, because the shipping costs are crazy. So I had an idea, for anyone else who might be in the same boat: What if we grouped up and had someone on each...

My Super Neo 29 Candy came with the original Omron XW6Z-0011 buttons, and since the internet doesn't know much about these magnetic wierdities, I tore one apart and posted some photos (and a GIF!) on my forum. The Link to the thing ( thanks @nem )

I recently made some accessories that required a lot of really annoying measurements. This is by far the hardest part of the job, for me, and I thought maybe I could spare the pain for whoever else might be doing something similar. These are measurements that will allow you to create a custom...

It's incredibly frustrating trying to find information about some things, like the Windy 2 test PCB. The one or two pages I've found that talk about it say nothing about what it actually does. Anyone here have one or know what it actually does? I know that it exists, and why it exists, but...

So I was doing a bit of tinkering with my Cyber Lead panel and I pulled out what I thought were the original LS-33 sticks to give 'em a cleanup and a bit of grease, only to find that they're probably LS-56 sticks with the LS-33NA PCB. The manual says the the LS-56 was the default, but the '33...

I suspect I know the answer already, but I hope to be wrong: Has anyone produced a replacement light cover for the fluoro/marquee light in a Naomi Universal or Net City cab? A clear one would be amazing, allowing for RGB lighting, but even new red ones would be a boon because they're all...

So, one of my all time favourite sticks is the Seimitsu LS-22, as seen more or less unmodified in the Neo Geo AES and NeoCD sticks. Through the miracle of modern technology (3D printing) I made an adaptor plate to mount the LS-22 in my Hori Fighting Stick Alpha. Modern Seimitsu sticks use the...

I'm about to order a large stack of capacitors and connectors from Digikey and Mouser. Figured I'd see if anyone is looking for a small number of parts that doesn't meet the minimum order for free shipping, it'll be way cheaper to get it to me and ship it via Auspost to you. Msg me if you've...

Excellent condition cabinet with a Nanao MS-9 monitor. $2050 AUD (~1300 USD) The good: The control panel was completely overhauled. Stripped back to bare metal, rust removed, primed and painted, new overlay, new sticks and buttons according to original spec (Seimitsu), fixed up the wiring...

OK, it's time to sink my teeth into a few cabs and make them beautiful. I've got three, each with different needs, and I've been doing the research and planning and plotting and doing everything I can to not actually have to do the work, but it's time. The Cyber Lead is, like so many of them...

Probably nothing many of you haven't seen before, but I thought I'd re-cap my Astro City PSU before it started giving me any grief. And it's probably a good thing I did. Though the PSU seemed to be working fine, there was more leakage under the six large caps than on anything I've ever worked...

I found my old Mega-Tech board in storage and I'd like to fire it up and see if it works. I'm stuck, however, with the connectors. The manual says they're JST, but it doesn't say which series, and the internet as a whole seems not to discuss this. =/ Does anyone know what specific JST...

I've started making some lists of capacitors for the arcade gear I have on hand, 'cause I've got 30 consoles to recap and figured I might as well order some extras for my arcade stuff and get that out of the way for the next few decades. So far I've got the Namco PA PCB audio amp from my Cyber...

Had a good transaction with @doozer Easy going, quick to pay. A+

I've got a (non-arcade) monitor that I stupidly shoved 5V down the wrong way, and fried the V-sync input. No service manual exists, so I've spent a lot of time tracing photos and drawing schematics trying to figure out where this 5V went, and I'm running into trouble now that I'm deep in the...

I recently created an EZ-Swap PCB holder because swapping PCBs was a point of friction when it came to playing games. I wanted something easy, and I came up with a three-point configuration that allows most PCBs to be swapped out with a single screw. UPDATE: with a thumb screw! You can read...

The power supply in my Cyber Lead needs a bit of maintenance, but I didn't want to stop playing games on it while I had the PSU out. So I whipped up an adaptor bracket to mount a Flex ATX PSU - in this case, a Seventeam ST-150SL - in its place. I've also made an adaptor from ATX20 to the 15...

After my relative success making a key for my Naomi cabinet I thought I'd try and make a copy of the tubular key for my New Astro City. The theory was more or less the same: measure it, and create it in 3D using FreeCAD. These things are tricky to measure because the pin depths are measured in...

So I wanted a way to swap boards in and out of a cab more easily than unscrewing and re-screwing things to plywood. To my surprise, no one seems to have done this before. (Hat tip to @buffi for their Astro City Holder, which seems to be the only 3D printed prior work). The goal was simple...
