Just a thank you to everyone that helped make my kickstarter a success! We have funded building our display at onespark. Our phoenix cocktail arcade game for the onespark display is now repaired! We have a new plexi being made tuesday, and I wll be doing whatever I can for all the rest of the display. The 2600 will defintely be represented!

tech found and is installing a hantarex mtc9000...

I'm just amazed with as long as people have been restoring old arcade games that someone hasn't come up with a simple modern tech solution for the flyback...

Pretty sure the power will be wired in... Wish there were some way to keep the orig monitor, tho..can't believe there isn't a modern tech solution to these ancient flybacks....

it looks like my tandy cm-8 and 11 are authentic vintage era 'cga monitors' which is what he references, and they do 1k+... so they may work (I have a cm8 & 11...) so I may have a solution! :-) (I hope...)

the guy working on my cocktail doesn't want to use anything less than an 'arcade monitor' (Because he gets the 'museum piece' nature I'm going for,) I do want it to be as authentic as possible. He said the C= monitors have 75ohms color impedance and the arcades are 1k+ (I don't know what any of that means,) so I'm trying to find out if there were any vintage era monitors that might be usable, since I have so many...

Another query: i have enough working vintage computer monitors to build a small igloo. Are there any of them that i can use? 1k+ color impedance. Any? 13"... 15khz, 60hz... C= moniotrs have all except they have 75 ohms not 1k+....

email sent! thanks for the tip! It's a toei cm-a14. Dead 2431781 Hitachi Flyback Are there no modern replacements/workarounds/rebuilds/etc?

I have found the original TOEI monitor has a dead flyback transformer. Any idea where to get/buy one for it? Thanks!

I vote numbered n signed, n if u can make my 15 into a 19 that'd be great

Ah! I knew there had to be a perfectly logical explanation. So, a homebrewer could capitalize on this market by making a cat food jigsaw game for the 2600!

New logo up on the updates of the kickstarter page and on the facebook page. Thoughts from the peanut gallery? I am being interviewed about the museum for a local public radio segment sunday. If i get a link, I'll post it. I havr to say, what surprises me most isthat the nintendo-era+ people get this idea instantly, and are my current backers/board etc. The pre-crash collectors like me seem to either not care or think i'm crazy. My initial impression was that I would be 'preaching to the choir' amongst my fellow atarians, but it seems i have to convert the choir? LOL

With savekey

Id love two

Yet another long lost 2600 game I'd love to see This sounds right it's right up there with mission omega as a game I'd love to try! I love Robs' games.

Has patience

Anyone in the Jacksonville area or nearby who might want some beer and benjamins to help me with my centipede upright cabinet and my phoenix cocktail cabinet (and possibly a pleadies cabinet, but not as high priority,) (descriptions at the bottom.) Thanks in advance, for reading this and your time. "number six" directed me to the villagebbs where I have posted and got some good general tips but no other replies. I am working to start an interactive arts museum, in Jacksonville, Florida. To me, arcade games are a large part of that. www.facebook.com/theimagic I will be displaying at the one spark event in jacksonville, florida, downtown. To promote the museum and gather funding. http://www.beonespark.com/registered_creators/118 The venue I am displaying at is 'The Phoenix Taproom,' and I would really love to have the phoenix cocktail working as part of the display there. Descriptions: The phoenix cocktail is my top priority, and I have not really had any time to examine it. IIRC all I had time to do was plug it in and see that I got no response. Pleiades works but the monitor fades/goes out. centipede details : I picked up the centipede recently from a local thrift, I couldn't pass up the condition it was. There is a tag inside it that says 'led out 6t' hope thats not a bad omen. This cab is in great shape for 30+ years old really clean inside too... Found a switch on the back that says 'cherry' on it that was taped in perma-on, but the tape came off. I re-taped the switch... Initially the marque and one coin slot lit up! Then I did my standard round of cleaning, cleaned mb edge connectors, checked all the couplings, visually checked all the fuses. Now not even the marque lights come one! gah! (So that is what I've had time for, so far.) (This text was copied from here, it has some pictures, too. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/204734-my-new-baby%3B-an-arcade-stand-up-centipede/

how cool is that I love lost discoveries

Is this 'cosmic ark' rob fulop?

Yup, thanks snakeboy. that way they don't have to scroll back through the thread

Whistles innocently 'www.theimagic.com'

Games like mind master, dragon stomper and survival island make me long to see more multiload supercharger games... But really i'd love any new sc game i think stella sketch is one of the few homebrews im.missing...

Indeed. I want their to be a place for the jersey of the guy from twin galaxies. I want there to be a place to play 'tennis for two' and 'galaxy wars' and the old e.m.s. A place where you can use a working replica of ancient greco-roman coin-operated amusements. Where you can read and research with a vast library of video and non electronic books and magazines. Play contests, give consoles to the needy. I'd love to get games into the library system or at least have one on site. I want a place where stories like rob fulops desire to make dave crane cry with a starfield get the attention they deserve. a place that honors all the artists keeping the dead alive... And so much more.

Agreed on the 'how many times do I want to pay to see a toaster nes" aspect (Though I believe The I.M.A.G.I.C. mitigates that.) I believe our perspective as people 'in the woods' of video game collecting may be a little skewing. To kids today, their perspective may be very different. Also, the angle of this museum being an interactive museum with a much broader focus than just the past 50 or so years, I feel, is very distinctive. We have board members with focuses on CCG, pen and paper RPG and many other elements. I envision a place where one can come, sit down, and play some senet, or one of the first ancient Chinese card games, or magic the gathering, or a modern console game, or a 2600 game, or braunstein (etc.) with 'public ready' installations that encourage interaction. I envision the ability to walk through the history of the artistry of human made interactivity, from our earliest recorded and known instances up until today (Which is thousands of years.)
