My son and I got a vs super mario bros arcade yesterday. This is our first arcade and i'm a complete rookie with the internals. Hopefully I can learn a thing or two from here! Externally the cabinet is in pretty good condition and is cleaning up very nicely. Question: what size t-molding does this cabinet take and do you guys have any recommendations where to buy from? I also found side art on ebay which looks really good, but if you guys have any other ideas or places to purchase that would be great. thanks, jarett  |

Hello, I'm from Ohio also. I'm not a expert either, but I have a few games and was trying to learn more. I have bought some stuff from: http://www.hollandcomputers.com/Its located in Ohio so the shipping is very fast. Not sure if its the best or cheapest place to buy parts. |

I'm from Wapakoneta ohio...NW Ohio right off of I-75.
We got the t-molding...hope to get that installed today.
Also got the cabinet cleaned up and the side art removed.
The light went out behind the marquee, I haven't opened that up yet...hoping that's an easy fix.
I want to paint the back and the bottom of the cabinet flat black just to make it look a little better.
The coin mechanism works fine but I have no keys to get into it.
Any ideas where I could get keys for it?
My son and I have been taking pictures of the process as well as video. Hope to throw up a youtube video when we are done.

I'm in central Ohio as well. Same as you my first machine was a vs Mario bros. mine was the dedicated grey cabinet though. Yours was probably a popeye or donkey kong at one time. I restored a machine just like yours and got the t molding on eBay. I got like 20 feet for $10.

Drill the lock. The bulbs are 100V. Topbulb sells them cheap. I have links on my DK page. |
