2020?

Same here

LIVING ON THE EDGE

Thanks, man!

Years? John bought the cabinet less than two years ago.

There is no Pratt rum there, and by the way, "Rum" isn't part of the brand name.

Gene only fixes and sells his games, rarely takes in repairs anymore.. more profit i guess in repairing his own.

ME TOO

It's a pirate beard, to match the rum

I think he got bored, the videos have been dwindling lately, it's a crime he only has 38K subs

Ha. Maybe. :)

Well, it can't unless he takes it outside.

$60 for a completely empty cabinet with ruined side art isn't a great deal, though. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jraEh9Km38iRYYk.html

lol compared to the prices of the of the stuff thats available around me it is and the cost to make a cabinet from scratch your going to spend $50 just on the plywood

Same. Arcade cabinets are the craze now. Even empty/nonworking ones go for at least 300 bucks on craigslist. Need a time machine to go back about 10 yrs to get the deals.

Ha! Great video you did on this same topic! :)

I was one of the ones that found your polo repair video on the /r/cade reddit and sent it to John. It was nice to see someone else with the same problem and get it working. I've subscribed to your channel as well. I really enjoy watching tech repair videos. Keep up the great work!

Man I really appreciate that. Huge compliment as your videos are the best.

I love watching repair videos too. Something calming about watching someone work to repair something, even when it doesn't always work. I think working on monitors is therapeutic for me.

No offense John, but I learned a hell more from Sunken Canoe than from watching all 13 videos about this hantarex board. His channel is great with other chassis. Sunken Canoe uses logic and steps; he isn't all over the place like spaghetti. Take this as constructive criticism not an attack on you.

It'll make the current generation even dumber than they already are.

old people problems :)

No, I turned that down. Was annoying.

Lol. Oh.

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech no it's been ruined it can't be

Its now week 13 of this year and only 5 videos from this channel..... Yes I remember those day, it all went to sh!t when John and Jay put games in the Hanger. I think working on arcades became a "job" for John instead of a "hobby" and is why he finds it hard to get motivated make work on his "Basement" arcades and make videos. These days he mainly plays PC and switch games.... Sucks but that is the truth!

Also no sign of a video this week either yet, so could very well blowout to a month without a video :-( The growth of this channel would for sure be effected by the randomness of this channel now.... Very hit and miss this channel is these days.

I agree. For the past years, John was already a busy man dealing with his daily job, music, arcade repairs videos and weekly VGO show. Being an operator (especially with 3 locations to take care of) on top of that has surely sucked up most of his spare time and led him to neglect some of the aspects of the hobby to focus on what pleases him the most which for the moment is : online co-op games broadcasted live on twitch, creating a new cartoon animated serie (which i don't really fancy... no offense though), working on a new music album and being a host to VGO tuesday show.John has been steadily dedicated to arcade restore since 2008 and i think the guy has right to take a break from it whenever he sees fit. That being said i'm sure his motivation for it will come back with the sun and heat when access to the garage will make it easier to work Inside (the basement seems tight as hell and not a very pleasing place for a job on a restore anyway... Take a look at this video here seeing him diagnose this poor monitor chassis on the wobbly table or remember the computer space restore with Adam constantly starting up frogger when taking a step backward).Let's be patient :=)... Just my 2 cents anyway !

PinMan Dan I've always played modern console games. I've never not I'm playing the same amount as I always have. Only thing different is I'm pressing the stream button. :) I appreciate the concern. :)

All good John, I was just simply stating when I think your channel started taking a turn and yes you mainly stream PC / console games these days.

I turned that down. Drove me insane.

Hey, Freak, what's up with your question mark (?) key?

PinMan Dan I have no plan. :) Been working on other stuff the last few weeks.

Rules to live by: Keep your tip clean and flux more.

Edwin, you want John to clean his solder tip's... what? I mean which possession of the tip did you want him to clean, instead of the tip itself?

I only found the one cap so far. I am having trouble locating the other two besides ordering from Taiwan on ebay. This is the one that was bad www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/80-PHE448RB4330JR06

Thanks John, If you find the other two would you mind sharing with me? If I find out the parts/links before you I'll be sure to share with you too.

I think these are the specs, I managed to find all of these okay. C172 = Film Capacitors 3300pF 1600V 15mm C174 = Film Capacitors 8.2nf 1600V C175 = Film Capacitors .012UF 630V

where did you find them? The larger cap is 22.5mm lead spacing. I can't find them.

Well I'm in the UK so not sure you'd be wanting to order from here? Both the following were from: uk.rs-online.com/ C172 = Film Capacitors 3300pF 1600V Link: uk.rs-online.com/web/p/polypropylene-film-capacitors/6167755/ C174 = Film Capacitors 8.2nf 1600V Link: uk.farnell.com/vishay/bfc237530822/cap-film-pp-8-2nf-1-6kv-rad/dp/1166100?st=8n2%20film%20cap C175 = Film Capacitors .012UF 630V Link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-pieces-x-12nF-0-012uF-630v-polypropylene-MMKP82-ref-208/282847461214?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Yeah, someone else said that too. My mouth moves a lot faster than my brain. :)

Think so? I am having trouble finding the other two for order.

Might as well say to stick a piece of glass in his eyes, it's equally bad.

She is my co-host on our podcast VGO that we have been doing for about 13 years. We also do a bunch of other creative things together like Twitch, etc.

Soon?

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech yes please ;)

I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms :)

I HAVE BEEN SAYING IT WRONG FOR TWO YEARS

Haha

1 year and 8 months.

What he said.

Not sure what you mean? My guy?

He needs reading glasses, lasering won't help.

"computer glasses"

Prescription glasses created based on 1 viewing distance of 2-3 feet. Your eye doctor will set up a special eye chart at the distance from your eyes to your computer monitor. (Measure that distance before going in) I spend most of my day in front of a computer screen. Using single vision lenses set for monitor viewing distance for hours at a time is a godsend. Reduces eye strain and I can read large spreadsheets with ease. I've had them for 6 months now and I can never go back. It sucks getting old, but you don't have to struggle to see. You just need the right glasses.

Those are called reading glasses.

Sure I understand why you would say that. Google: "Computer Glasses" and then "difference between reading glasses and computer glasses"

I think I have discovered today that it is called "Pirate". lol

No, John, it's called just like it says, "Pyrat." Dave, he wasn't saying "prat," but "pih * RAT" (short a).

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE CORRECT ME TWO YEARS AGO. :) I have been saying it wrong FOREVER apparently. :)

Cooler name though, isn't it?

I bet he feels a prat!

Kyle and Vax, he's not saying it like "prat." He's saying "pih * RAT" (short a). But let me ask you about what you think it should be. You say it's supposed to be pronounced "pirate." In a pronunciation key, "pirate" = "pi (long i) * ra (long a) * tee," so it looks like the word "pirate" but is pronounced differently (with the e not being silent), which is what you're saying when you say that it's pronounced "pirate." Right?

John himself commented earlier saying he was saying it wrong.. look here ^

Why use a $500 meter when you don't know how to use it and you can't even tell a short from an open.

Okura, what happened to your keyboard in the area where the question mark (?) key sits?

Sooon

I saw this guy spam the same comment the past 20 videos.

I saw this guy at the brothel when I was getting a Scotch Egg.

Or a maybe a Scotch egg, Simon.
