Tokens Arcade Machines

Sorry for the lack of Updates! Been busy with finals. I am happy to say I have finally isolated the problem chips on the TV Ping Pong board that were causing it to short!

Next order of business will be adding sockets to the board, replacing bad chips and hopefully getting this game running again over Christmas break!

I ghetto-rigged a DVD player into my Pong clone arcade, it's showing signs of life!

Introducing the oldest machine in my collection! This Chicago Coin TV Ping Pong from 1973!

It's essentially a near perfect hardware clone of Atari's Pong arcade board with a very similar cabinet, but a much bigger TV! You read that right, not a monitor a LITERAL off-the-shelf G.E. Black and White television!

The board's not working right now, but I'm going to give it a shot at fixing it. This is new territory for me being an entirely TTL (transistor logic) based game!

Here's the current status of the defective Red Tent monitor. As you can see, an almost complete vertical collapse!

I've got a few tricks I've yet to try. Hopefully I'll be able to retitle this picture as "before". Stay tuned!
