I Paid $150 for a BROKEN Tabletop Arcade - Let's Fix It!

Wow! This is crazy Steve. This game was once mine. I know it's mine because I am the one that tore the printing off the box exactly like it is now. I bought this at an auction house for $80.00 in Iowa, because there was one gaming game bidding against me that had an idea of its value. Otherwise, I would have got it for next to nothing. I tore the box when packing it after I sold it on eBay. A piece of tape accidently stuck to the box while packing it and tore the printing off. I even saved the piece and sent it to the buyer. I got $180.00 for it about 5 years ago but, it worked fine at that point. Blows my mind that after all this time it ends up with you fixing it on one of my favorite YouTube channels. This is to cool!! Thanks Steve!

4:19 -- "Where's the ON button?" If only you had a manual. :)

I like these kind of repairs as much as the consoles

Steve, you are looking good so far. I'm there right with you. Started treatment again. Keep up the fight and great videos.

Steve i just read your post regarding illness. Want to wish you all the best but also that i too had the same diagnosis in 2021. Same treatment, same symptoms. It's tough but manageable. I guarantee you they have mastered the treatment, and you will recover. I'm in remission, since 2022 treatment ended. Regular checkups and some anxiety when they are due but apart from that i am back to 95% myself. The other 5%is learning how to cope with the worry. You have a lovely wife to help and that is worth a lot. I cannot express enough that positivity is key. Keep taking the meds exactly on time. Thank you for continuing with your videos and know exactly how you feel. ❤

The music when you are messing with the overlays is EPIC.

I LOVE seeing videos JUST LIKE THIS!!! where you pick up a broken piece that's old and (semi)collectable, fix it up after going over the condition and also fixing the defects/damage (like the sticker peeling up a bit) and then selling it for a profit... There are a few channels that do this, but I don't watch them because they aren't about fix the electronics - they're just about fix iy up and reselling.... So if you were to include YOUR buying price and what you SOLD it for then you'd have the FULL CIRCLE and THAT is what's appealing about THSOE videos.... so you'd be COMBINING those type AND your typical electronic fix..... That would be a REALLY COOL addition to your channel occasionally... like a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly special episode... And you go over all/any of the sales that have happened with those specific collectable just on the 'special episode' (I'd say you do it bi-weekly, buy ON TOP of your typical uploads.. (but you CAN'T change your existing schedule because then you might upset THOSE viewers that look forward to Friday because thats when TronicsFix uploads his show.... you know what I mean?)

Definitely like the older/ more obscure stuff. You can only watch so many PS5 repairs until they start to seem same-y. Great vid :)

I love this fix. It was so sentimental for me. My little brother had one of these toys and watching you bring it back to life brought back many happy memories of the Christmas that Santa brought it and all the fun our family had playing it. Please revive more retro games and toys. Your content is beautifully wholesome all the time but this one was extra ❤

I like these repairs MORE than the console repairs. Old tech is just so amazing

Love this! Please do more like this in addition to what you usually do. A little variety is good here and there. 😊

I know YouTube is a place where you have to balance doing what you like with also what people want to watch, but I really like seeing people talk about what they’re stoked about. It’s really evident in this how much you like working with this older tech. Definitely keep it coming, especially since it’s something you really enjoy!

Man, I love watching your videos. You demystify what so many people see as "too complicated" and you're doing a lot to encourage recycling and repairing. I wish there were more like you, and I hope you're doing well.

Enjoy seeing repairs on older devices like this..

This channel is one of my favorites! I love all the different tech and the spirit of repair. I'd love to see more old stuff like this.

+1 for these unique electronics. I love seeing different things inside, and old stuff usually have bigger and easier boards for us to understand. Btw, SPOILER, what do you think ended up fixing this one?

Random old school items being fixed are really interesting. In fact, virtually everything you record being fixed is great fun to watch. Keep up the great work.

So good to see all the positive comments. You’ve got a lot of support here Steve. Wishing you all the best.

Please, more of this kind of content. Love it so much!! It helps me know and understand more of the basics on simpler systems.

One of my favorite videos from you. I always enjoy seeing the inner workings of special equipment. And a lot of tension you build up during the screen replacement there ;) Thanks!
