Hey Joe!! I've bought a few dog cabs and piss cabs. If they're really bad inside, Kiltz then paint can seal the odor or you have to replace each offensive panel. But, I usually part out a piss cab. Sad but true. Good work brother.

You can remove the top on that Fluke meter, it is wireless communication between the screen and the meter. Then you can take the screen with you, and leave the meter connected, if you shall adjust something away from where you connections are.

Let me tell ya something brother, I’ve been in the fire service for a while. Little over 20 years to be exact. I know that smell you’re talking about bud. As soon as you mentioned it, brought back some memories of a recent house we went to, to carry someone to the hospital. Couldn’t see the floor due to all the trash and well other things in the floor. In the words of Skynyrd, Ooooo that smell, can’t you smell that smell. Surprised a bunch of water roaches (German cockroaches) didn’t come running out. Not sure if you all have those in the Carolinas.

Unrelated, I got curious and looked up "zero-crossing." That has to do with the time that AC current is neutral, neither positive nor negative. To detect it, it is just a full-wave rectifier, an optocoupler, and an inverter. In their case, the inverter is just a transistor and a pull-up resistor. Now the reason pinball machines need that is to know the ideal time to flash multiplexed lights and throw solenoids to make things last longer. As for the meter, well, that is the nice one that is detachable. That way, you can focus the camera on the detached portion no matter how the meter base gets moved around as you use it. And yes, I agree with your overall strategy here. Replace the things most likely to go soon, so recapping and the flyback if you have one. I found from another channel that you have to watch on changing the flyback, that you use the original part and not a cheap knockoff. Most people think "blooming" is in the CRT itself, and I guess it can be, but often, it is the flyback that is responsible. A guy on a retro channel played with an old Commodore monitor and an old Atari monitor. They used the identical motherboard in the chassis, just that the Commodore one was populated more for more connectors on the back. The Commodore monitor bloomed, but the Atari one didn't. He first tried swapping the board to rule out the CRT and the blooming moved with the board. Then he moved the flyback to the Commodore board and the blooming stopped. Then he changed the rather new aftermarket flyback on the one doing the blooming with another aftermarket flyback. It still bloomed, but not as much. So you have to watch where you get the flybacks. Some of it is just Chinese junk, and some is just good enough.

Maybe for the smells you could put a ozone generator inside the cabinet and throw a tarp over it and let it rip overnight. I bought a nasty car and did that for 4 hours several nights with a cheap generator off the jungle site and a USB battery pack. Took a while, but eventually it killed 95% of the smell. Still a little dank on the first few hot days of summer though....

The cut cord, I think, is a junk man thing. I'm only 10 minutes into the video and from what I've gathered, you bought this off of a junk man. My neighbor is a clean junk man. The surrounding area of his house has a bunch of random items like air conditioners, golf clubs, 8 track tapes... Anyways, I've seen him have appliances with the chord cut. The next time I see him outside, I'm going to ask him why they do it. Maybe because of the transformer. I really don't know about that stuff just speculating. I continue watching the video.

???? The First few runs may have come without wheels but later runs of the Cabinet Did have wheels. I've seen that Cabinet Delivered brand new straight from Midway Arcade. Maybe it was "region" restricted or may have just been more popular option in some areas over others but that was an option when they were selling them back in the day. Crusin USA and it's later versions are just the most popular late 90's - present Arcade cabinets to present in America. Literally they released a new Crusin Cabinet just a few years ago a year or two before covid hit.
