Reflowing and recapping is a good start. While the BK467 is a very well regarded piece of kit, they are pretty old, and more often than not are in need of maintenance. If you haven't already, you might want to join this BK Rejuv Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/503454524641474

Sorry about going a bit off topic here, but do you know if this DB15 mahjong controller is the only one of it's kind? I've been wanting a solution to play mahjong boards but swapping panels on my candy cabs is a lot of hassle for something I probably wouldn't do too often. If there was a DB15...

That pretty generous of you to offer it in a giveaway! Beware the rabbit hole of capturing arcade video. It gets pretty expensive pretty quickly!

This website also has some information regarding rejuvenators. I haven't had the need to use my 467 yet, but I've been gathering up info here and there for when I inevitably do. https://crtdatabase.com/faq/bk-precision-490-and-467-crt-tester

Memory unlocked for me. Years ago when I helped out with some retro gaming conventions, I used several dollies to haul cabs around, and while the COSCO is the most common, the best one to use was an old Magliner that my friend owned. The nose plate is pretty distinct and just reminded me of...

My multi was already set up in terms of the SD card before it came into my possession, but I'm fairly sure it's from a multipacks directory listing from a certain archival site. If people need more info beyond that just PM me and we can sort it out.

How deep is your wallet? Pretty much any cab with a rotation mech is fairly uncommon in the US and will command a very high price. High enough that you might be better off buying two Astros to dedicate to each game type if you have the space. Monitor rotation with an Astro isn't that hard either...

I tried a few different Red Wave and Rainbow Edition hacks, along with the SF2 Mix fan game, and they all seem to work just fine for me. Or at least they worked afaik given how janky these games are. Pressing start would change characters, and typical shenanigans that I know about for shotos...

I finally got around to working on this install again and I have resolved the issue with some help from a friend. I thought I had a unmodified C board when I removed the battery, but upon closer inspection there were some cut traces on pin 45 and 46 of the B-21. I soldered those pins to ground...

What's pretty scary is that the scammer seems to know enough about desirable arcade hardware to price stuff that isn't in "way too good to be true immediate red flag" territory, and also include correct photos of everything. This person did some homework if they weren't already familiar. The...

Not really a 3D printing question but somewhat adjacent: For laser cutting people, where do you normally get your supply of acrylic and other cutting materials? I have a local spot, and I'm aware of TAP Plastics as a known good source. I also know that Amazon has a bunch for cheaper, and I'll...

In comparison to the MMU2S, it's way slower (granted, getting that cursed thing to a reliable state in the first place is an adventure). I'm glad it doesn't take you long to fix the issues, but from my perspective I find the process of getting to the AMS to be very annoying for something that...

I'm well aware that most issues are addressable. It's death by a thousand cuts for me in terms of the myriad of things that I don't like, and that's on top of the fact that while I use the X1C fairly often in my firm, I don't actually own it, so I'm reluctant to do or buy things for it in the...

Like I said, the printer is decent, or even quite good. I still prefer my Prusa, but it's largely personal preference. I'll go a bit into the nitty gritty on this. I dislike the slicer and how it's basically a Prusa Slicer clone but even more unintuitive. The printer also heavily relies on QR...

I use a X1C with AMS at my work and I think it's a pretty decent printer so far in the 50-100 hours of print time I've used it. However, I personally prefer my MK3S with MMU2S so far for a variety of reasons (mostly maintenance related, but lots of small usability issues as well). I had a Prusa...
