Free Arcade Machine Find - Retro Rebuild Project Part 1
A quick look at my latest retro gaming bargain. I found this original arcade cab from the 80s free on Gumtree. It's missing a few important parts but I think I already have most of what I need to get it up and running again. This is part 1 of me documenting the process.

I want this, the guitar and mic so badly 😭😭😭
Is this still worth anything? I bought one att my local second hand store. It cost me 30$. I appreciate if someone knows what it's worth.
🎉
i just got one, but sometimes the screen goes black for 2/3 seconds. i tried to lower the backlight to 6. you think the eeprom is failing or it might be just overheating?
Hey dude, just came across a really old video of yours.... You reckon you could still fix a DS Lite?
Got to admit it, looks interesting.
Duuuuude. That price is a steal
The clone one is better looking compared to the original one. Blue and grey buttons look better!
Bom dia, qual modelo desse controle verde??? Todos esses controles verdes são iguais por dentro?
Love it
Thanks for the video! Do you remember what size battery the Starfox took please? Thanks!
This video is 11 years old, but it helped me today, thank you)
I fixed a screen with a soldering iron by placing tin foil on the ribbon and running the soldering iron over the top.
This is unlikely... But I found one of these that was apparently dropped and no longer functions. Do you think you could point me in the direction of people who have repaired these before and could give me pointers on possibly repairing the unit? I don't know my way around electronics as much as I would like to be.
I'd really like the blue ones clear are cool t
Good video
If only Sega advertised the game gear with those graphics.
It mightve been from a gutted Polybius cabinet. Be careful it might be haunted 👻
@RetroGameTech Hey didn't you make a video with his shell? When your turned it on, it had lights? Where's the video?
Memories, I love watching this video.
Woot ? He is alive ?
Welcome back,brilliant
No way, i used to have this when i was a toddler. Im actually flabbergasted to see it appear up on here
I’m flabbergasted that u actually used the word flabbergasted
@@bigboss-yv2nr tbh, I am now as well
You could put a Sega Genesis with an AV-RF transmitter, run the genesis on the Game Gear wirelessly and claim that Sega already had a "PS Portal" in 1990
Wow 2024. I really need it to FS3. Does someone have it to share?
That is frikken awwesssoomeee!
I acquired one of these today and the leds in the front two right-sided needles don't work. How would I go about repairing these?
you are saver for my psp, your method with paper really work!
Wow that is super clean, what a bargain!
a scorpion XVI russian or ukraine bootleg of genesis with 32x to be clear i did skipped the 32x thing which it is not on my emulation list of retroarch but go for the sega saturn instead. or psone. but james rolfe made this clear on angry video game nerd episode though.
Anscheinet gibt es von den 220 verschiedene Revisionen. Bei mir sitzt der RTC direkt neben dem Gehäuse für das MPEG-Modul.
I tried working on mine and I couldn't do itttt... I tried soldering the connecting tips to disconnect it and I couldn't get it to pop off. I felt like it was gonna end up burning the board. Damnit man
So I'm not the only one. PlayStation thumbsticks are junk. Thanks for the video
Legend goes that a bunch of guys is still looking up and down eBay to find a NeoGeo AES that cheap.
just got damn near complete in box for 25 bucks
Try replacing the hard drive
It might be a bad hard drive. Try that
just randomly decided to check up on this channel to rewatch some videos, glad to see you back!
I always wanted one of these, but i was never going to win one 😂
I like your videos
Crazy to think how cheap this was back then. I remember ps1 being dirt cheap like for quids back in early 2010
do u still have this?
Nice work have you any photos inside the lighter car to see the solder works...i dont understand how get inside the lighter all solder cables ..
Wow
this is the part with the car
The man the myth the legend is back we missed you!!!
1998 I was at university and had a summer job someone brought in a SEGA Game Gear and TV Tuner and we crowded round it to watch some FIFA World Cup France 98 games Cool tech, good times
