Anyone here know how to work on arcade machines?

for a tv/monitor that part is like $50 or less

Hmm, a TV guy might be able to fix that. I might give one of those guys a call just to see if he can do anything for me. Thanks man.

This is the monitor I'll need to replace mine if I need to replace the monitor.

No its just like a console as well, only the games are much bigger and usually a lil more expensive but sometimes less expensive than typical console games.

i have KI1 that I paid $125 for (PCB + HD), then I got MK1 and MK2 for $60 for both. They are just plug/play in the jamma harness.

I wish I had KI1 to go with my KI2 machine. I got a SWEET deal on my KI2 machine about 4 years ago. I got it for $295 out the door! I couldn't pass it up. I just said, load it up!

LOL sounds like the same exact deal I got. I paid $300 for mine. It's badass, and yes, KI1 > KI2 . And my link is fixed as well.

Call Joe Morton. He can't talk, but he can fix electronics just by touching them.

Hmmm. Sounds like something PKD would do, but I don't remember that character. Did the brother from another planet talk?

You got it! Brother From Another Planet! Pretty good movie.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, JackBurton.

SCORE!!!

I just called Putt Putt Golf & Games and this guy that answers says he services all the games there. He said he would come and take a look at my machine. And the guy said he really doesn't charge much, but I'm definitely going to pay him for his time. He sounded young, but I'm not going to take advantage of him. I'll definitely hook him up. If he gets it working I'll be REALLY excited. I haven't played it in FOREVER!

I don't know dude, I loved KI1, but it has some major problems that makes playing cheap players unbearable. :| For instance, no throwing. :|

Your machine looks to be in really good shape like mine. :thumbsup:

No problem dude. I don't give a crap about thread jacking. As long as I get one or two responses related to my topic, I'm cool.

KI was revolutionary when it came out, using Nintendo's Ultra 64 engine. I never saw lighting like that on ANY game, and was just in awe. Simply beautiful. And let me tell you...
