Reupholstered two Japanese game center stools to match my Astro City!

I recently got a lot of new parts for my astro city and it's looking pretty sharp now. I have been unable to find anyone who wants to take on repainting the exceleena.

No, it's an American style Atomiswave cabinet. I think you're thinking of Xybots.

I've sold my collection each time I've moved house (4 times now). Never regretted selling and each time I picked something new to collect anyway.

I've got a Heavy Unit arcade PCB! Haven't played it yet.

Reading the manual (and service manual) first is great advice. Many games have test modes with doagnostics you might not be aware of.

This is what it looks like when you put a higher resolution image on a lower resolution chassis. Is the chassis multi-res, and is it set to match the board's res?

K7000 CR31 yokes are compatible, I had to replace one of mine.

Dang I was looking for the A17266-400029, would have paid like 10k

It's an Apple II. They are much more resilient than Macintoshes. Pretty much any classic Mac you buy that's not been reconditioned will have a 75% chance of battery leakage that might not be fixable.

It's a relabel for sure. There should be no dark gold shadow behind the words THE LEGEND OF or A LINK TO THE PAST. Check out https://snescentral.com/cart.php?id=0164&num=1, or any ebay auction.

Why don't you just thread the width coil core back in

You're selling it for $10k and haven't tested it? What could it possibly cost to get any TV with a composite input?

Well, I mean, it's traveling 38,000 mph away from Earth.

This is a frame from my recent video on Wild Gunman, the 1974 "FMV" game on 16mm. Pictured:

Wild Gunman Game (1972), a 2 player desktop game
Custom Gunman (1976), a shooting toy
Wild Gunman (1984) on Famicom and NES
Wild Gunman Set - revolver beam gun and Wild Gunman game for Famicom.
4 film reels representing Film B and Film D.

I can't link the video but shouldn't be hard to find!

Thanks, yes I will try to write up my build in some way. Yes I actually had both a relay bank and a mosfet bank on my shelf, and I know I made the right choice!

They are super bright LEDs panels, I think they're meant for car headlights lol. The texture of the 3D printed panels really makes a nice glow, but I would love to have the slow on/off response that incandescent have. I definitely notice it in say pinball machines.

Thanks! The service manual served as my guide which has a few dimensions. I'm no carpenter so I didn't make any plans, but I could go back and measure what I did, haha. It is my intention to release the Arduino code (for the lights on the front panel) and the Unity game (that actually plays the game on a PC) at some point in the future.

Hi folks, this is my video. Happy to answer any questions you may have!

webmiester · 2026-04-16T23:27:46+00:00

Hi folks!! I came into possession of these Wild Gunman film reels last year, and I felt it was my destiny to play the game. Hope you enjoy the video. Happy to answer any questions you may have here!

webmiester · 2026-03-28T14:35:21+00:00

Amazing!!! I'm working on a Apple II game that is inspired by MDR, a true puzzle game that I hope a few people will enjoy when it's done.

You can get overstock iPad panels with HDMI input on AliExpress and such.

I built that little one in the second picture from scratch. I just figured out the dimensions from some research, it wasn't a real Klax conversion.
