How’d you make the shim? 3D printer?

I’ve found that locating operators with games is a matter of knowing the right people and also lucking out by crossing paths with one. It’s only happened a few times for me and never because I posted about it on an arcade forum. Those old timer operators usually still have flip phones!

Two of the more difficult machines to find for sale. None here so far but keep your eyes pealed on Craigslist, 5 Miles, offer up and Let Go (and KLOV if you’re fast enough).

I’m sure if you’re offering a high bounty like $5000 that someone would cave and sell theirs.

AHOY THERE.

Well done purchase. I love letting the seller try to figure out the problem. I've saved a lot of money from that strategy.

You waited for one day. Didn't know you had a timer going. ;)

Stern cabinet. Maybe used to be a Super Cobra?

The rule is don't click if you aren't really interested. Watching the commercial at the start of the video is entirely up to you if you find it interesting. Notice the pattern here? Don't do anything to "be nice" because they have algorithms to watch for oddball behaviors like that and exclude them. I had an account banned once years and years ago for "fraudulent clicks" that I absolutely had nothing to do with. They never reactivated my Adsense account even after the appeal and it sucked. So, yeah. Be honorable.

You might need to replace the digital sound chips. They will have to be burned on type 2716s. Brasington's site has a lovely chart:

High-larious!

check harnesses. try to plug another game into the monitor. maybe a game with a test pattern?

Is the degaussing coil stuck on? Or maybe it's not on at all?

I'm now documenting the small changes I'm making for each release so you can check out the updates by visiting this link:

[snip!]

I wrote up a script that modifies the default behavior of the forum's ShoutBox so it can "speak" anything the participants are saying. I use it so I can do my programming day-job without constantly shuffling back and forth to see what people have been saying in the ShoutBox. To install it you will need to be running Chrome (preferably the latest version).

Install the following plug-in (TamperMonkey for Chrome):

Next install my script from GreasyFork:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/7880-speaking-shoutbox

You will have to reload your JohnsArcade.com page in the browser for the script to start working I believe. I'll update this thread with any initial set-up hints and tricks.  As for what does the script do?

- Speak Shoutbox updates as they appear using the Chrome voice synthesizer API
- Set a generic voice to hear
- Set a custom voice on a user's View Profile page
- Mute button functionality is retained
- Skip things that shouldn't be spoken (e.g.  a link becomes "http bla bla bla")
- Turns https URLs into links (still working on perfecting this so they aren't spoken).
