1  Arcade and Pinball Discussions / General Arcade and Video Game Discussions / monitor bath ?? is this really ok to do ? on: July 16, 2015, 08:47:05 pm
was watching a donkey kong restore video and this guy took cleaner and a hoes to his monitor with a scrub brush. this made me cringe for some reason just wondering if this is normal to do or is a litle extreme and risky? Thoughts?

is john not allowed anywhere else in his house besides the basement and garage?
we will ever get a MTV CRIBS style tour of johns house?
John thanks again for all the videos you do, dont take it the wrong way but you speak DUMBASS very well. You talk and explain things so us DUMBASS's can learn and i really appreciate you constantly repeating things. Because of you ive been trying to learn as much as possible.

my three projects
==ms pac has a board power supply and monitor but the power supply was shot so im waiting for one, this thing is painted up thick im gunna strip it down

==street fighter was converted to galaga ms pac frogger thing and they drilled into the control panel ;( , not sure to make it a champion edition or sf2, i like purple so i might go for the sf2 with a purple front to match some of the purple art and maybe some yellow t mold

==mk2 works and i replaced all the buttons i just gotta fix them coin doors and touch up the art a lil. if anyone can point me to some good cheap coin mechs for this williams coin door id appreciate it.

will do, i started recording my initial cleam up and control panel fixing for the mk machine so ill post those after i finish the last bit up. than it will be onto the Ms pac!! If anyone knows of any ms pac type cabs that were red please let me know so i can investigate and maybe decide to just build the old converted game maybe instead of ms pac.

ive been wanting a mortal kombat 2 machine since i was 5 and yesterday i have finally achieved that feat.
god bless craigslist
im new to the arcade obtaining and rebuilding scene and i have 3 machines currently
dyno street fighter machine no guts (someone converted it to a mspac galaga frogger)
ms pac thats not so mspac ( hand painted mc pacman shaped cab i cant tell what it used to be but what ever it was it was all red)
and of course the mortal kombat machine that is 80% done (need to fix coin door and operator switches)
dont know if ill have a basement like john but id like to have 3 to 5 treasures and make some money flipping easy machines from my garage.
so hopefully i can restore a street fighter and ms pac to make some money to further my arcade addiction
im from florida and in a area where its a lil hard to come accross cabinets n boards i have to drive north or south to obtain them so wish me luck.
