I watch this channel enough that sometimes when I walk into an empty room I'll call out "ladies and gentleman this is Joe's classic video games back with another cool arcade game repair video for ya this evening"
You're a Stud!
What never got replaced was the video arcade game machines TV screen. It didn't get renewed. So that way, you won't be seeing the screen flicker. Another thing is: the formula one race car is colored blue, not red. If it crashed: its parts would fly off the race car.
Or someone who isn't getting laid😅
With that new reproduction board being made does that mean the 3 pole positions in my neighbors barn can be brought back to life ?😎
Take them to Joe’s! They LOVE some Pole Positions! 🤪
For those old enough and around arcades at the time it was released, we cannot hear the muffled "prepare to qualify" without repeating it in a weird voice ourselves. It's instinct. It must be done. I realized that when a few people all did it at once in a bar.
I've reflexively said it many times while watching this vid. Thanks for that.
First arcade game I ever played, pumped a lot of 10p coins (I grew up in the UK!) into this machine but I was never very good at it either. Beautiful restoration as always.
Yep, from the UK too, the "prepare to qualify" and the countdown to race sounds bring back the memories..
@@pishedasafart Joe do Dead to Rights for the PlayStation 2 review and gameplay video.
My favorite arcade repair channel. Keep it up Joe and Ron!
You guys are awesome. I'd have burnt that thing. It's ROUGH!
Thanks for watching Firehawk!
Always will.
Thank you, Joe, for bringing back a part of my childhood.
what an awesome machine. As a kid that seering wheel felt like a real stock car. how many times i begged my parrents for a quarter.
Keep it up Joe and Ron.
I test your amazon affiliate link with purchase of a brother laser printer :) Thanks for all the entertainment over the years!
I see it on there, thank you J B!
Now, that's the stuff I want to know about. Especially if you want your stereo cabinet restored. Such as the tape cassette player, record player, music CD player, the radio, and the stereo speakers, get restored. This means creating all replacement parts for your appliances. 🔊
What a great fix. I remember when they were new in the arcade. The pe pe peeep is just about hard wired in the brain along with asteroids and defender The sounds just bring back the memories. Great job as always keep up the great work big👍
The breadth and depth of your knowledge never ceases to amaze me. And you can solder!
Boom! Pop's artwork on the PP2 cabinets! Keep up the great work, guys! I'm still watching after all these years.
Those game cabinets were everywhere back in the day. I always turned the wheel the wrong way.
The best way to do the throttle during game play is keep it floored, and shift to low for corners when you need to slow down.
Sup yall, just dropping by to check out another great vid from yall 🙂 i really enjoy the camera work in your video, along with the relaxed easy to follow narration, And these games were classic ad always
Wow I used to love playing Pole Position. Thanks for a fun watch!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Ronnie, thanks for the video! Great job cleaning that thing up. They do make art for it, but it's about $180! Keep on posting! ✌️
Iffy Atari boards & the monitor was the reason my Atari Star Wars went, the most tempermental machine I ever owned and I'd never want a vector again. I do love the channel Joes Classic Video Games! (and I stilll don't know your name, Mr. Narrator & Fixer!)
It's Ronnie the other guy is Joe
Star Wars is a very tough game to keep running, if you do your own repairs and are at a pretty high level you can keep it going but it's not uncommon for it to break often. You can so called 'bullet proof' it to an extent but it's a pretty complex, antique machine at this point. Pole Position is a little easier because the monitor isn't vector and people have figured out how to make those run pretty well, the board set is a thing though.
@@LyonsArcade I sent boards to people with experience, they came back worked for a matter of minutes and failed again and that was various boards too. It took the fun out of it. Glad that PP is a little more forgiving, I always loved PP, PP2 and TX-1. Hello from the UK, where pins are a bit cheaper but videos more expensive!
Great work as usual Ronnie. …. Drive on driver.
5 stars.
Thanks 👍
I know all about the fixing of Operation Wolf machines, not straightforward as you say. The best machine I worked on was the sit in version of Afterburner II, it was so abused with so much wrong but when I finally got it fully working it was such good fun and well worth the pain. 😀
I have played this game a lot as a kid. I think all of them were set to a million miles per hour. Hearing all of the sounds made memories come back. Prepare to qualify. Prepare to crashify. I don't think I have ever known of somebody being good at this game. Who are the characters in the boot up screens? I never noticed them before. People put weird stuff in these games. Nice to see one come back.
The Seaside track vaguely resembles a check engine light.😆
Reminds me of a Friday night pizza hut dinner
Brilliant stuff by Jason,i remember watching his launch of this board,wicked video guys,thank you for filming for us you guys did a greeat job bringing her back to life x
Thank you Saskia! See you on the next one....
@@LyonsArcade You should do the first console video game video: Namco's Dead to Rights for the PlayStation 2 - Action-Packed Review and Gameplay!
Many memories of the 80's on various holidays in arcades playing the stand up racing machines. Used to drive my parents to boredom, and running them out of 10 pence peices 😄👍 Great video lads 🇬🇧🇺🇸
That's a pretty good interpretation of the actual Suzuka track. I used to play PP1, but never had a local arcade with a PP2 cabinet.
Boy this brought back memories! I think I was probably about 10 years old.
I love this channel! I'd love to own a Pole Position 1 or 2 someday.
Thank you computerkid1416 we appreciate you watching!
Love a great Pole Position video! Best arcade game ever!
It's very fun, but you have to put some time in on it to get good at it :)
@@LyonsArcade That's why you gotta start early! I myself have been playing since I was about 9 or 10, and now I'm 18!
Awesome video! I love me some PP2! You did a great job, and I think we're looking at the future, with these replacement PI boards. What a great use for that hardware!
My first arcade was pole position II sit down version ... loved it
Great work as always Ron! That’s a cool board.
Awesome, looking for an upright cabinet as I write this! Thanks for filming and sharing this!
Thanks for watching James!
superb restoration work :)
Thank you French Pincab!
I also drive it Bill Engvall style - here's your sign! 😅
Another good one and great to see a new way to fix these!
I have the sit down version of pole position 2. Has the steering wheel, pedals, shifter, glass screen, rolls easily, cabinet in really good shape, needs all electronics, wiring, pretty much empty like this one. I’d pay someone to help me get it up and running again but nobody in my area works on them sadly. Still cool looking to have
Remember the atari football where you could pinch a blood blister on the palm of your hand? Lol I played injured more than once😂
I used to watch the demo of a Pole Position game at an arcade next door to an ice cream store around the corner from the Child Study Centre building.
Enjoyed your vid brother keep them coming.
Came out real good.
Loved that arcade
Great job guys. Looks great! Watching the video, that looked very original. Great job on that board.
Wow, does that bring back memories..... Lots of us could get around Fuji Speedway..... I remember PP2 coming out, those 2 new tracks threw us all for a loop... Those were tough.
Knowing the track is key. So, as you would expect, we all looked ridiculous on the new tracks....
And you are not wrong... Having the speed set down some, I always thought was somewhat easier.... Different places set them differently for whatever reason... I was in a sit-down cabinet one once, it would let you rip it at like 250 on Fuji Speedway, which was uncontrollable.... Years later, I remember a bar I may or may not have frequented got a stand up one... It was a little tired, the heyday was over, but the top speed was dialed down, and it may have had some weird processor problem, it seemed to play "slower" slightly.... I was untouchable on that thing.... For at least a year I had the high score...
Those were the days. Were you still in the business when Golden Tee came out?? The golf game with the trackball??? That created quite a sensation.... I may or may not have spent a lotta lotta time playing golden tee.... Groups of us would go out, specifically to play Golden Tee....
Thanks so much guys! Really enjoyed this video. I will get this if my Pole Position bites the dust. It’s on life support already.
Enjoyed seeing an unconventional "repair". I'm a huge Pi fan, super cool seeing it lashed to some old-school tech.
Ron, the only rip on this one is when you measure AC voltage across the power rails, they HAVE to be loaded in order to indicate what sort of ripple you have. Most any capacitor will have low ripple without a load. Other than that...pretty cool.
The 10.6 or whatever it is on the cap then feeds a voltage regulator which is regulating it's little heart away to create 5 volts, wouldn't that count as a load? We tested it with the power supplies installed and powered up
Arcade Jason’s the man. I have his Vectrex Multicart and some custom asteroids he modded to make the ships and rocks do different stuff. He’s been doing a lot of cool stuff lately.
Yes he is a good dude
Great job guys love the video! You guys are #1 … you 2 should be running this country 🤝
Thanks for watching, We appreciate it!
This is Great! I didn't know about the Pi board. Wow, looks great and this could save a bunch of Pole's from there death! I had watched years ago how hard they were to keep running. Great job Guys....
The company makes another Pi based board that plays 11 arcade games (Asteroids, Omega Race, Battle Zone, etc.) plus 183 Vectrex titles.
Bravo!
I used to love that game!!! Awesome video!
I used to also play another racing game that was in black and white and it had an over the top view. I can’t remember the name of it.
Is that image burn on the monitor? ‘GAME OVER’
yes it shows that most of the time the game is over, and eventually burns it into the tube. You can put a better tube in if you want but it just burns in again, lol
that board is cool for pole position pie position
Pull the plug out!.... but He ain't dead yet! 😅😂 WHATCHU TELL HIM TO TOUCH IT FOR??
I played that when it 1st came out and it was a neat game for the time. Still is a nice game.
The board you plugged it into, is an Arduino Pro Micro. They're fantastic little boards. I use them as cheap, ultra low latency arcade stick encoders.
Thank you Mighty Squirrel!
@@LyonsArcade You're welcome!
Top 5 favourite games for me! 1. Kickman, Pole Position, Elevator Action, Jungle King, Spy Hunter. Thanks for the great video!
Pole Position such a addictive classic game
When’s that Midway Joker ball getting some love?
It needs a backglass and we haven't been able to find one unfortunately
The "Whatever" is another commodity microcontroller, I forget what it's called but I used one once to make a keyboard protocol converter.
What are you using for marquee lights now? Are you still using the florescent tubes/starters or have you switched over to an LED strip?
We try to put bulbs and starters in if the original fixture is still working (ballast isn't burnt up), but if we have to replace the whole fixture or it's missing we put LED's in, we don't really like LED's much
No need to wipe off any of the grime on the monitor until you know it was worth the spray and paper towels. Good job guys, was looking at taking this on, glad to find your video. Regarding not having the original board, jeebus, who wants it? That is the reason these are in such low numbers. The original boardset was junk.
I remember the "Jerky Boys." The prank phone calls were great. Especially one of their characters "Sol Rosenburg." I even remember they had a movie and if I am not mistaken, the movie was produced by Tony Danza (Taxi, Who's The Boss) and Emilio Estevez (The Mighty Ducks Trilogy)
The small board on top is an "Arduino mini" i think. It will manage the input from the controlls.
I played the crap out of PP1 in the 80s. Got pretty damn good. Probably from all the free practice games I got, because somebody broke the lock on the local machine.
Got so good, I started experimenting. Try drafting another car. Yes, it's a real thing in the game. You can really haul ass this way.
PP1 is arguably my favorite classic game.
The serial number was UR01= Upright version 01 number 087. A very early early manufactured machine! There are two versions of this machine, version 01 had the original pole position side art which had the ATARI name on top, while version 2 had a series of racecars and racecar drivers with the NAMCO name on one of the racecar driver's helmet. All in all, you have a very special Pole Position 2 cab.
A group of you should get together and have the arcade boards scanned so people could buy replacements and just transfer the chips
Prepare to qualify!
Good Morning U-All.
Hello Dano!
I'm probably completely wrong, I wonder if the following would work for a gas pot problem....
- put it in the sweet spot, then take a resistance reading. and get hold of a resistor with that value.
- add a relay board that connects to some spare GPIO pins if there are any spare on the pi. (I have a spare if you want it)
- write a timed script that would switch on the resistor first, then switch over to the gas pot after the pi has done the calibration.
Just a thought, like I said, I could be wrong! 🤣
28:58 "Prepare to qualify". 😄
I played this in the arcades and the Mega Drive.
ya got "focus you bleep" from AvE ! hehe
"Focus you bleep" came from AVE. THAT guy is responsible for my "addiction" to CZcams.😆
Just found your video and doing the same thing with an old PP. Can you clarify the wiring you had to change? Did you simply jumper/combine the two wires and run them to pin 11? THANK YOU!!!
JOE CLASSIC< did someone add in an inline Fuse for the H.O.T transistor? Mostly the H.O.T transistors don't have fuses in most arcade monitors. I'm guessing your combined tied together the H sync and V sync lines together?
The cabinet is made from chip board and not MDF.
Hey, glad to see it back in action! So what happens to the original board? Do you still have it around?
We talked about that in the part of the video you didn't watch :)
Hey! That's the same model Raspberry Pi I'm watching this video on - it's hooked up to an early 1980s TV!
Why do a tube swap, especially when the burn-in belongs to the game! C'mon people, you can't just swap a tube that has Pac Man burn-in in a Pole Position! 🙂
I fixed a few Pole Position (II) boards, but they were low hanging fruit. A battery-eaten PAL here, a bad RAM there... there's a PPII I can't fix, it's doing the good old SELF TEST - PASSED reboot loop. The 8002s are good, the support logic tests fine, it's gotta be that other PAL...
Se os olvidó ajustar el monitor. La parte superior tiene una gran franja negra.
Was that a Tag Team Wrestling bezel hanging on your wall??? How rare is that game!!?? LOL
Yhe firs programmer on that new board was a Finnish guy, i see🇫🇮
That chip that you didn't know what was on the pole pie was a Arduino Nano it's a microcontroller that basically tells everything how to do stuff lol
Check out that George Costanza wallet on the bench, ooohh make my back hurt just lookin' at it
Keep in mind you can convert to a switching Power supply much more reliable
Last time i played that pole position game
was like 1984. i was 7
Making me begin to wonder if the deer was really at fault? 🤔😆🤣
No matter where I went if I played Pole Position 1 I always got pole position and high score on every game I ever touched
Talented!
I had a friend who knew the guy that designed the game and there's a certain way you drive around the track that always gets you Pole Position and get you through the added time marks that always gave you first place
You can order complete overlays for every arcade game in existence from Galloping Ghost Reproductions in Brookfield Illinois.
Before a move to another state, I had to sell my Pole Position cab and this was during the great recession. It was in beautiful shape but I only got $200 for it. *crying*
That's gotta be the best fix I've every seen for an elderly game. Cabinet with no board set (in their case, a double board set) replaced by one board a fraction of the size and a micro SD card?! I bet we'll see a lot more Pole Position games working for the future!
They could have made the board much smaller too, they just made it the same width as the original so it'd fit in the case. It could be a third that size.... Thanks for watching Mike!
@@LyonsArcade The wiring harness connectors appear to be the deciding factor for it's size.
How did you get the breaks to sound like the port in Namco Museum 50th anniversary? I thought that was just an emulation issue
I am curious to know if PP II was one of the first racing games to show sponsorship. Besides seeing signs for Centipede and, of course, Pole Position, I definitely saw signs for 7-11, Dyntene gum, and Tang. Would someone let me know?
This is cool. I spent much money on this stupid game! Aladdin’s Castle back in the day!
Where is your shop located at sure would love to come in and look around
We are in downtown rock hill, SC come on by!
P.S. I'm functionally sub-par sometimes. I'm the one who accidentally called you Sean a few times in comments. I see now that it is Ron. Sorry about that! All good wishes.
Seaside is the Long Beach F1 circuit
I have a pole position arcade cabinet and mine is in way better shape than that one but there is a metal bar on the inside of it but idk if it’s holding it together or what, mine isn’t beat up like that
It's one of those Japanese TVs
Who made the electromechanical arcade game like this using a tape loop and 8 track sound ? and what was it called?
I found it… Chicago Coins Speedway! I use to hate fixing that game on location at camp grounds and arcades!
Well Ronnie, not sure how long ago you guys did this repair with the new board from Jason. But according to his website, this board is NOT AVAILABLE. 🤔
