- FOR REAL!!!!
In this video we are going to continue working on the MKII arcade game by Bally Midway. In the previous video we identified that some of the film capacitors were bad near the flyback. We are going to replace them in this video. Will it fix our Mortal Kombat II and Hantarex Polo?

Enjoy the vids? Consider supporting me! Thank you, John! youtube.streamlabs.com/johnsa... - Hry
Thank God... I have to say I saw the alert yesterday and was excited to watch all day, but I was constantly busy. By the time I had time to watch the video, it was taken down. I wanted to cry.
You've defeated it! You are a repair master! Put on the green jacket.
John, love your videos, and I've learned so much from watching your channel. I think it's hard when a lot of people *are* making a career out of stuff like this to remember that a lot of people do this for fun. Especially when a channel gets popular, a lot of people can't understand why one wouldn't want to give it a shot.
Keep doing you man. It IS your life, and thank you for sharing this part of it!
The April Fool prank was hilarious, loved it. Wish you hit it more! Also I appreciate that even though you've been working on that monitor for a year and just have to do a simple 5 min piece swap you go to extra details to explain all the process. Thanks for that.
April 1st was a blast. I will confess that I did fast forward through the whole thing looking for viewer mail at the end. Great work as always.
Hey John, just wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work and awesome videos. I got my other techs to reference your videos at my work. You've taught me and my friends a lot and I'm glad I found your channel. Keep up the MKII Restore, been following it since the beginning. :)
Congrats man, great job; way to stick with it through the long haul, massive determination payed off.
great video as always, glad you got it working finally. can't wait to see it all back together.
Great video as always. Good to see the monitor fixed and looking forward to the MK II rebuild.
I'm so happy to see that monitor working and I'm very proud of you for not giving up on it. I know it's been a major pain for you, but it was worth it in the end. You're almost at the finish line with this project!
Also, the way you addressed the lack of videos was well said. It's good to hear you actually say you're not done with this channel. We just need to have patience and wait for the next video when you feel like doing it. Thanks for making a video this week and I look forward to the next one.
Love your videos! Fixing my first arcade (outrun) based on stuff learned here. Thanks!
Yay! Nice job. Excited to see MK showing up on that monitor next video!!!
Thanks for posting the parts, great to see the monitor working now :)
Glad finally see that Polo monitor fixed and working. Your popcorn machine looks more like a cartoon character like right out of a Road Runner/Coyote cartoon when it's about to do a face plant lol.
probably on holiday or something but John will do next part when he is ready I guess. Keep up the good work John. 1st time I have commented one your videos but have been watching for a number of years very good stuff. Enjoyed watching many of your videos
Nice to see your hard work paid off to get this working!
Support you John, thanks for the channel. Yes in the end it’s your life, family & kids. It matters the most. Good to see you defeat the polo Dragon 🐉!
Noooo! I can't believe you put back the popcorn machine! Welcome back anyway John.
Damn you did man congrats, now you can finally finish this project. Great vid always John
You have a amazing arcade mate, love the Robotron and that tapper, in fact i love all them cabs, love the lighting in the room, lot's of 80's nostalgia, you are so lucky mate.
Mortal Kombat II is my favourite MK game, you do a great job restoring arcade cabs, thy look stunning.
Thanks for the video, Excellent :o)
Nice to see you back, it’s just that I miss you and I think your doing a lot.
Great work John!
And thank you very much!
Hey, congrats on getting it to finally work!
hallelujah!!! Great work John!
John has slayed his Nemesis the Polo monitor
Congratulations on the monitor glad you don’t have to struggle with that any more. I personally wouldn’t mind you cutting back videos you do take on a lot but you had better not disappear we count on your videos.
Really glad you got it working John. I really like the image on my Polo. I personally think it's the best looking monitor I have (don't tell the WGs). Work on the videos when you want to. Like you said it isn't a job and do what makes you happy so you can still enjoy your hobby.
When are YOU going to make another video? lol. Just wanted to let you feel what John feels. You have something good going with your channel, too. Looking forward to your next video, too.
So glad you are back John! Thanks to your inspiration, I am really underway now with my brother's Whirlwind restoration. Totally got me with the April Fool's gag. Perhaps people are reacting because of Ben H. and Mark B. Just a thought.
i just hope you are well john miss your tuts stay strong mate greetings from portugal
Dam John your videos looking clean
I just tried to repair a Hantarex MTC-9000 that I brought as not working with the idea to learn how to repair it. It was ticking and I found that the US250 PSU I was using to power it was running low on the monitor output, but not after doing a cap kit and replacing all the transistors and rebuilding the power section. I then found how to test the power section by removing the yoke connector and running a 35w bulb on the center pin. This allowed me to check the power and was how I found the input power was low. So after I fixed this I then found a resistor was starting to burn and it was on the 130v b+ so I removed the resistor that sent the power to the LOPT and found the 130v b+ was stable. My next move was to replace the LOPT and I had the same problem so I looked at the yoke and found I had one that was 0.5ohm when it should be 2ohm so I removed the yoke and saw that it was damaged and that was as far as I can go at the moment. Everything I did was thanks to watching your videos and especially this one as they are close in design. So you can imagine how I felt after watching the april fools video as it was at the time I was trying to work on my and I was really looking forward to seeing you fix it. Thankfully you have and that makes me happy.
DUDE make a video!
I did want to, but it was the first time I had tried to repair a crt and I needed to learn as much as I could without the added complications of recording it. I guess I could record one showing how I tested it and the current status of the yoke. I am also in the middle of making a Dick Smith LOPT tester and my LCR meter just arrived from japan so I should think about making a video for the next one I try with the better tools I have.
John when you went at that popcorn machine in the april fools video i could not stop laughing. I thought it was great. Anyway can you please give us another tour of the 3 locations you have im sure you guys switched machines out i would love to see what is in there now.
Fixed a Polo! Nice John!
Your back again thank goodness
His what is?
@Maxx Fordham! I think fusium meant "you're" but spelled it wrong.
The last vid, you went to town on the popcorn machine.😁😁
Replace popcorn machine with hot dog roller
Or mini soda fountain or milkshake mixer
Good job on the Popcorn maker and the monitor. Good Luck.
Dude of course man, do vids whenever you feel like it its all good man.
I completely understand what your telling about your mood and motivation. The last video I came out with on my own channel (focussing steam trains) is from 2016. It's not that I don't want to publish new videos. It's just that I'm tired of video editing and so. Since then I recorded stuff for another 7 or 8 videos, but still no motivation for video editing. Up to now I enjoy working with my vintage computers a lot more. So what? It's my hobby and it has to satisfy only me!
That said I for sure would like to see your videos on a more regular basis, but it's your decision! Do what pleases yourself!
I enjoy your videos, and always look forward to the next one. Unfortunately, when you go from "wanting" to make them to "having" to make them, it turns into work, and isn't as much fun anymore. Have some fun, enjoy your family, and when the mood strikes you, make a video!
Great to see you- love you did the whole video with the broken popcorn machine on the table wobbling away. Genius
:)
GREAT RETURN, JOHN! XD!!
When is the Popcorn Machine Restore video series start? 🤣
I spoke with John last night, it will be released April 1, 2019
hurray! at long last.
Johhhhhhhhn You In Here Buddy!!!! lol. Maybe he got sucked into one of his games Tron style and cant get out.
Hi John, new fan, thank you for your work and filming! Did they add those caps to the cap kit for this monitor? I'm curious for posterity!
So that's what the Popcorn machine looks like after being destroyed...
When will you make the restoration series for the popcorn machine?
Your Popcorn machine does need a cap-kit ;)
FINALLYYYYY!!!!!!!! Best video EVER ! ! !
oh wow you used the flux nice work that's the way to do it now if we can get you to use the solder wick also
I got the April Fools joke, there were tons of them I. CZcams, ETA Prime got me good too. It's funny! I've been dying to do the same every video I see that thing shake and wobble 😂
Yayyyyyyyy you did it John
Yes finally i just love your videos john😎😊😚😘🐵🐒
Just started watching, popcorn machine looks like an animatronic droid with it's movements. Haha Ok, I'm watching!
Congrats on the feisty beast! Glad to see you move on finally!
God forbid your viewers dictate your life, lol you do you John! Any time you have for videos is a treat for me and most of us!
John smashes popcorn machine he needs a new one
I like the show maybe you can do segment on fixing your popcorn machine lol
32:14 - I love John’s celebration song and graphics
Wow sweet
That wobbly monitor table in the garage scares me bro...
I only purchase wobbly tables.
Glad to see your back John I missed you so what games you sold let us know and if the golden tee ever becomes for sale let me know I'm very interested talk to you soon your friend Jason
Thanks John
Finally a monitor work at last! It's been 100 years (not really lol)!
Dude! You scared me when you scooted your little card table with the monitor on it. Heavy monitor on weak-ass card table with collapsible legs just spells trouble.
Yeah! Yahoo! you fixed it.
Welcome back Bro whoo get the Rum out. You should do an online auction for stuff to your subscribers.
Film caps do have a polarity but it's not crucial like electrolytic are in this application, But if it was in an audio circuit path it is important to get it right otherwiseyou can produce hum in your circuit
No motivation?!? Uh oh. I think John is on the Pot.
Dang that garage of yours is even messier than last year
If there's no video for the week, just post in the Community tab that there won't be one (it will show up in your subscribers' sub boxes) or on twitter.
busted ass popcorn machine...back on the table LOL
I thought last week's video was hilarious and it took me about 2 miliseconds to get that it was a prank.
What's up I have been trying to get a cap kit for a 20ez but the site just keeps saying store is closed and will open soon
i absolutely loved the prank .
I can't believe you got flak for that April Fool vid! On a serious note....are you going to give any thoughts on the Billy Mitchell thang???? You are my "window to the arcade world" (WTTAW).
So which games did you sell out of the basement?
I just crazy on the arcade Johns
dose any one know the fuse voltage on a track and field up right.
35:10 john, your remote boards adjustment pots are missing the little plastic pegs that sit in the holes
That popcorn machine is still there. It's still there. It's still there. It wont go. It'll never go. You kill it and it's still there. Find its Horcrux and smash that. Smash it.
Actually, you should probably keep a tiny piece of it and mount it like a memento or a hunting trophy.
It'll be cool if you make a popcorn machine restore.👍
That's great John but why did the popcorn machine need to die?
I waited and waited thru the whole video in darkness...now I'm mental disturbed.Video games and john scare me now!....lol
And... the magic of christmas.
That "Ffffzt" sound at startup is normal. Some monitors are more pronounced than others when they start up.
Oh, and John, life takes priority over youtube. If things slow down on the channel, it's all good in my book.
Thanks! That sound freaked me out. :)
You look frustrated with the comments about the wait time for videos. It's understandable but you should take it as a compliment that anyone cares at all. Your videos are great and we look forward to them
Yes, I do and have always taken it as a compliment. I have stated that many many times here. I was just explaining why I might not be releasing videos as often. And, thanks.
Well keep doing what you're doing. I've seen all of your videos (some more than once). There's no other channel like it and I look forward to more.
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Hey John, I totally understand what you're saying but you did say in December that lots more videos were coming. I guess you're caught up now, but the dry spell was rough after you mentioned all the videos you planned on uploading.
John i love the videos but i guess life comes first i personally am in a gaming funk and have gone back to music, pleas eif you matt Jam can you put the those Videos up too?
Next video series. Popcorn maker restore lol
Actual new video. This time it's FOR REAL.
John, if you get no resistance, that's a short; not open. So if you get an open, then you have infinite resistance; not no resistance.
i think a bear is more delicated with this stuff
Welp, it was a good run. Thanks for all the videos.
what camera or camcorder do you use ?
Why have vertical lines in the screen.?
Shitting Jesus has no one got a sense of humour these days.
I thought it was hilarious John 😂 and I had the video going for about half hour,thinking you were going to come back lol
Have a break dude and take care buddy.
Thanks, Alex!
35:03 Boy is THIS thing going to cause trouble in a few videos.
We should collab this summer.
That was the most professional April Fools Joke ever... Good Job.
At last, its fixed!!
Everyone needs a break John
28:53 "ok, I heard something"
