Account Upgrade Information (Donating) *READ THIS FIRST*
Mickey Juice replied to Arcade King's topic in Forum Information
I'm hardly ever on the boards anymore (how did pins / arcades get so freakin' expensive!) but happy to donate. These boards are probably have lasted the longest than any other I've been on (and I was on a lot in the 00's! - too bad Reddit / social media etc killed a lot) -
Repro MCA Joystick Bushes - The journey
Mickey Juice replied to dedmunds's topic in Video Arcade Restorations and Projects
Great work mate. I'm not a huge fan of MCA's, but they can sure take a beating. I kept the originals in my NBA Jam cab for that reason, ha. -
TMNT LAI Artwork Resource
Mickey Juice replied to Mickey Juice's topic in Aussie Arcade Artwork Resource
All fixed :) Something was wrong with the Google Drive images. The artwork links themselves should still be working eg PDFs etc -
TMNT Marquee - True original LAI version?
Mickey Juice replied to Flyingdragon's topic in Aussie Arcade Artwork Resource
Bump. Would I be able to get a copy as well? Thanks! -
Thanks mate! Been a long time. Good to see the veterans still around.
-
You're not wrong... I've been away from the hobby for about 7 years and these prices are crazy!

Just thought I'd throw in my 2c to this thread. I've got some scans that I worked on from 2006 while Arcade King was restoring his TMNT: So I have a scan of the original (terrible) LAI CPO, a scan of the repro US CPO and then I updated the LAI (black border) version with the nicer US CPO. I can share the original scans if someone wants to make a borderless version? More pics etc and PDFs here: https://www.aussiearcade.com/showthread.php/34509-TMNT-LAI-Artwork-Resource

TMNT LAI Artwork Resource
Mickey Juice replied to Mickey Juice's topic in Aussie Arcade Artwork Resource
ok, I've fixed the CPO links etc above, so it all should be good to go now. Let me know if you have any issues or want the original photoshop file (200Mb). Here's a copy for fun, of the letter I found in my machine. -
Hey guys, So I've fixed all my pics and artwork links in my thread: http://www.aussiearcade.com/showthread.php/34509-TMNT-LAI-Artwork-Resource Just a note about the CPO. I based my on the LAI design, ie the black area at the top, so it's pretty much exactly like the LAI cabs were (but with the better scan of US artwork). After I completed this GIBO did something similar, but he didn't have any black, just re-arranged the US CPO to fit the LAI cab. You'll have to ask him for that version if it's your preferred option. This is his thread here: http://www.aussiearcade.com/showthread.php/34483-TMNT-CPO eg Mine: Vs Gibo's

TMNT LAI Artwork Resource
Mickey Juice replied to Mickey Juice's topic in Aussie Arcade Artwork Resource
*5-6 years later bump* I've fixed the image links in the first post and added the download links back, all related to the credits splash artwork. Next step I'll update the CPO artwork tomorrow. Bed time here in Canada! :sleep -
Hi gents, Imageshack is borked, hence breaking all my old pic links. I'll dig through my archives and fix the links as well as look for the PDF files. I remember creating a hybrid CPO LAI TMNT artwork from the USA artwork for Aussie cabs. The original LAI one is a horrible facsimile of the USA one ie lots of blown out areas, plus the big black square that top under the credits.

Sterns next title - Wrestlemania? (Whisky Tango Foxtrot)!
Mickey Juice replied to luke's topic in Pinball
The theme doesn't interest me (unless Mr T and Andre the Giant were plastered all over it), but it's good to see some modern tech. I'm keen to read more on it. I wonder if linux gurus will be able to hack it and change the features? http://www.techtimes.com/articles/24596/20150105/ces-2015-stern-pinball-launches-new-wwe-edition-and-proves-you-can-teach-an-old-dog-new-tricks.htm "What's really neat about this platform is that it's a lot like a car now," Paul Mandeltort, Stern Pinball's director of parts and accessories, told me at CES Unveiled yesterday. "Everything is being controlled directly from its particular node, just like a car does." Not only does all of this sound super high-tech, but this software update really has practical implications. For example, if a part needs to be replaced, the pinball machine itself now tells you what's not working correctly so there's no guesswork involved. -
I think I've got this one sussed out... The clock inputs were around the wrong way :P It's interesting tho, that with no colour burst clock input, the video output is still adequate (colours are lighter/faded) on NTSC TVS (not the projector I tried tho, it was B&W). I just have to solder it all up and good to go. ps: I miss my DSE soldering station, the cheap one I bought from dealextreme is shite (under powered ) and the one I bought locally is worse ie too hot it oxidizes in a few minutes :(
-
Hmm, strange I disconnected the PAL clock line and it works ok (I'm not in PAL territory so I cant test it, plus dont need it atm). There might be a short somewhere or a shit switch... I've no idea. Im using the same slide switch that I use to change the 50/60hz mod, so it could be conflicting with that. It doesnt help that im using the damomonster colour mod with the mmmmonkey 50/60hz mod (they're slightly different in the way they do the 50/60 mod) mmmonkey is the old mod that goes directly to the jp2 jumpers. http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/console/sega/md2switches-page2.htm

Grand Theft Auto V - September 17th -
Mickey Juice replied to NMD's topic in Console, Handheld and other Electronics.
Almost a day 1 purchase for me, $60 new. Gotta love the Nth American RRP for games :cool: Alas I've only put in about 5 hours :/ Just finished the Trevor intro missions and now am working on the port heist mission. -
Heh, maybe a month for delivery. Took me a year to actually place the order ;) Too bad it's a piece of crap... doesn't get hot enough on the tip end so was making cold joints, plus i'll end up destroying something by heating for so long. I just bought a local iron, so will test it. Is it worth using Kynar wire for the clock chip install or is regular hookup wire fine?

Yeah it was pretty much like the Brisbane floods (I'm not from Brisbane, but i'm assuming so ie major flooding in metro city). It pretty much closed downtown here. My place wasn't affected, but our work building was without power for a week, hence no work (plus the whole CBD was evacuated and closed down). So plenty of volunteer work and cleanup. High River, small town further south got hit worse. Alot of those houses are still underwater (26 days and counting) so they're pretty much condemned. Canmore (just before Banff) got hit pretty hard too, it wiped out part of the highway 1, (cutting off the highway to Banff etc) so it was closed for a few days. They did a good job of getting the Stampede grounds cleaned up in about 10 days, and could actually have a Stampede. The Saddledome is still shagged tho, so they had to cancel all the concerts eg KISS. The jumbotron was apparently sitting on the stadium floor for summer... and it got destroyed along with all the media gear. The Calgary Flames mascot: lol
-
Correct sir! About Easter time Lol. It stole it from the couple that take their Delorean around to comic Expos. They came to the Calgary Entertainment Expo and that was a local photo.

It's Peyto Lake, about an hour past Lake Louise on the way To Jasper. I'll dig out the pinball Expo pics and start a new thread :)

Funhouse playfield restoration
Mickey Juice replied to Mickey Juice's topic in Solid State (SS) Pinball Restorations
It's been so long I can't remember the reason :blink: I never did it (a thin, single layer of clearcoat) before starting the paint touchups. I may have seen it on This Old Pinball DVDs. I'm guessing just to lock in the old paint and provide a nice even, clean surface for touchups. -
*bump* Hey mate, I've been living in Calgary for 16 months! So could have caught up for a beer! I get to fly all over Alberta with my job, but alas I didn't bring an AA t-shirt with me, so no pics of AA in the rockies! I really should post up pics from the Calgary pinball xpo last year....
