Wiring Saturday was all about wiring! Got to love Operators and their hack/splice and do whatever they need to get something to work. There are better ways to do things, but I understand from an Op’s perspective. This is what I started working with. After unraveling it all, I confirmed Continue Reading

Egret 2 – worklog update
Been working on this here and there over the past few days, but managed to get some solid time on Saturday. Monitor I can understand why I’ve heard of people “necking” their tubes on this cab. If you’re not careful and if you haven’t checked the wires if there’s enough Continue Reading
Egret 2 – Procurement
So DRAGONKZ offered me his Egret 2 and since I had no room or immediate cash, one of the cabs had to go. I decided on the Blast City, so on the weekend, the Blast City (the one I had for Monkey Ball) got picked up. All my arcade life, Continue Reading
Rhythm Tengoku – Control Panel
I first tried this game when I got my Naomi NetDIMM setup and it’s a quirky yet addictive game. It’s playable on a joystick setup, but since it’s got a dedicated cabinet with extremely oversized buttons, I figured why not try and go down this avenue without having to purchase Continue Reading
Sega Aero City – Number 2!
I’m sure those who have been keeping a close eye on my cabs know I have a silly theme of having pairs! Just because this cab is pretty rare in Australia, is not an excuse! 😀 About a month ago, I got delivery of another Aero City – once again thanks Continue Reading
Sega Aero City
Through the Candy Cab Gods (namely @DRAGONKZ), I’ve been able to secure one a candy cab grail – the Sega Aero City! It wouldn’t be a Caesar cabinet without a respective work log thread Long story, short, Dragonkz moved heaven and earth to secure this cab and once secured, he told Continue Reading
Blast City – leak found!
So I’ve spent some significant time on this – fortunately, I didn’t get zapped along the way! After reading the thread on Aussie Arcade – https://www.aussiearcade.com/topic/72785-sega-blast-city-abnormal-voltage-on-signal-ground-and-more/, I decided to take away my internal tx out of the picture just like the OP did. I simply tuned my 220v cab into a Continue Reading
Blast City – we found a leak!
For those that remember this post.. Blast City – Zap! I got a nasty little shock the first time I powered on this cab. I thought it was due to the switch, but I’ve since received another shock or two when I tried adjusting values through the remote board and Continue Reading
Blast City – We found a donor!
mR_CaESaR said: Shortly after posting this, I was sent a message by a friend to try a Panasonic TC-68GS71A for a consumer tube swap. Whilst not 100% perfect, he previously used it on a tube swap for the blast city and yielded acceptable results. I was able to purchase the Continue Reading
Blast City – sad day
Sad day unfortunately… the tube gets dimmer and dimmer by the day 🙁 🙁 Here you can see just how dim the tube is compared to my other blast. I had to turn off the light on the top left (tired tube side) as you wouldn’t have been able to see Continue Reading
