re: DIY arcade & arcade1up pinball revisited

Yeah, burger time is a bit infuriating. Before I started playing it again, I thought to myself, it should be a piece of cake now that I’m an adult. Nope, there’s a reason those bastards always got me back in the day, and still do today.

I forgot to mention, I bought an MKII control panel off someone for $10, and then he’s like, “you want the monitor, too? I was just gonna toss it.” He says it didn’t work but he never fiddled with it. So that monitor has the pcb in the back, too. So, one day, I’ll check and see if the thing works, but otherwise, I plan to mod that control deck with a trackball and do a vertical screen mod, probably with my Pac Man machine. I just don’t know which trackball to get.

I am also waiting on some Sinden lightguns with recoil. If you’re not familiar with them, they are compatible with lcd screens by putting a white border around the edge of the screen that the guns essentially use for calibration.
