Sorry for the radio silence the last few weeks.  I've spent most of my time working on shipping the backlog of Genesis games, all 530 copies.  I was also working on a restoration video of a Moonbase arcade machine, which is about 80% done and edited, but I ran into a problem I don't know how to fix with the CRT driver board, so I've had to shelve that video and move on to something else for the moment.  

Current projects are:
-Restoration of Apple IIc Plus
-Restoration of early PET-style Commodore VIC-20
-Documentary on ISEPIC cartridge for C64
-Moonbase restoration
-Sinclair C5 documentary


I am actually looking for some help in these areas if any of you can offer your advice in the form of a phone call:
-Looking for an expert in the HVAC industry to answer some questions for an upcoming episode.  I don't need technical information for how stuff works, more how the industry works.
-Looking for somebody very familiar with using the ISEPIC cartridge on the C64.
-Looking for help repairing a CRT board.

Since you’re not sure how many people will play it, I was wondering if you have a play counter in the code? Are you collecting any stats like play time or anything? I’d be interested

Cool, very professionally made! I like it! Unfortunately, I don't think I could be of any help with your topics, as I'm too far away to help with the CRT board...

I can understand the that you want to use a CRT but maybe a generic old 20" LCD TV might be the better choice in terms of reliability. I like CRTs a lot but i am not using them on a regular basis since I have already lost 3 really nice ones over the last 4 years. It is very frustrating to see my stock of replacements dwindle to the point where I have only 2, maybe 3 good color CRTs left.

Love it! I will be stopping by the arcade once it’s back! Congrats David it looks like it came out really good.

Sorry to see the CRT fail but I hope you make a million (or two).

SuperTekBoy

Amazing video! You guys are both so talented.

Can you get a Trinitron and do a "jungle" chip mod?

Shame about the CRT. I've actually been looking for an old CRT myself for older game systems, and I've been having a hard time finding one as well.

David, have you found someone to help with the CRT board yet? I'm more experienced with older all vacuum tube CRT circuits, but I could probably help out with your arcade board. Do you have a schematic?

Finally went over to the Electric Starship Arcade to play some pinball and see this in person…it is REALLY good looking! Cabinet is gorgeous that big crt really displays a nice picture. I didn’t spend enough time trying to learn the gameplay, but it looked good just wandering around the map.
