I'm one episode behind on the show so this may have been covered but, has John decided what to project to do when he teams up with Ben Heck yet? As I was listening on the previous episode, I kept thinking that it would be cool if they could do something monumental that would help everyone with restorations. My idea, which I admit may be totally impossible, is a universal monitor chassis.
Seems like my restoration process always goes something like this: Get the game running, notice that the monitor looks like crap, do a cap kit, get everything adjusted, marvel at how great the monitor looks, wait 2 hours, blow something on the newly capped chassis, spend hours trying to figure out what blew..... you've been there, you know what I mean.
I think it would be awesome if someone could design a chassis that would work with most of the common monitors and be bullet-proof.
Any other ideas?

I have been talking to Ben over e-mail about this. He hasn't really responded to me about some of the ideas I have sent so far.
We just really need to keep the scope of the project very simple. I think a universal monitor chassis is way too ambitious.
Hopefully we actually do this. I'm talking to him now.

you should somehow make something with one of those old school rotating police lights that spin , when you beat the high score of the game it goes off and lets people know you
beat the high score.

Think he could make a device that will coin up a game by voice command? For the games that don't have free play.

Why by voice command? How would that even work with the noise? Whats wrong with adam's 1up? |

I wonder how you could even do that? It would have to be done on a per game basis, a lot of manual work there.

you can do it, ive seen something similar done with a splatterhouse machines. When this byte is open do this... when its closed do that. something to do with an arduino so heck should like that. you gotta find the address for the score or something I found it,, every time you get hit,,, a red light flashes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrPT36HsGH4 |

Yeah that is how you would have to do it, but it is still a per game basis. and a per game basis for fitting the mod. |

ok I see what you are sayin,, the mod would only work with the game you made it for. but lets say ,  or a commonly owned arcade machine. Or hydrolic or electric leg levelers. |

A true high score save for a 60 in 1.
