Quoted from pinmister:I was just at Walmart and looked at one of these 1Up Arcades. What a cheap POS. I noticed wear all around the buttons, so I went up to check it out. I digged my finger nail into top panel and it literally scrapped away paint. Is it even worth $200? I don't think so, don't be a cheap ass-just save up and buy a real arcade like CGC Ultimate Arcade-imo
Just there myself, tried the "finger nail test"....Dam, the CP is like a lottery scratch ticket! Wtf were they thinking with that stupidity....good thing they are sending out free protectors, but someone dropped the ball on that...
Quoted from vid1900:Check your Brickseek
DON'T call Walmart and tell the employees the Brickseek price - they will buy them for themselves.
Download the "Walton" app, 98% more reliable for actual stock at your local store than Brickseek
Table tops look cool, plastic is already swirled to hell on cocktails huh... Glass would probably have been s better idea..
Quoted from winteriscoming:I have a cnc machine, so I figured I'd take a stab at making my own control panel protector for SF2. It would be easy to make a completely new control panel, too. Heck, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to make a complete cab using my SF2 as a model, but it's so much easier and probably cheaper buying the pre-made cabinets from arcade1up.

Isn't it easier to just clear coat it??

FYI, just noticed on Slickdeals, someone found these for $9.98 at Sam's Club (Sega one as well)
Quoted from vid1900:The title says Atari, but the item they are selling is only 50 Sega games.

Both.... (According to that display sign)
Quoted from alveolus:Changing gears, I am really not a cocktail cabinet guy, but I would be all in for a 4-player Warlords cocktail.
How sweet would that be?!

Hmmm, I reconize that house....I think Jay (Owner of machine in pic) has a few of those cabs.
Quoted from vid1900:I'm so dumb, thinking about it more.....
The solution is to get a .75 cent encoder wheel, then just cut the extra teeth out until you are left with 8 tics per revolution.

Could it be that simple??
Quoted from vid1900:Of course it is.
I must have been in a brain fog or something.
The encoder circuit counts when the beam of light is interrupted.
If the original has 8 tics per revolution, ours needs to have the same number if we want to avoid any additional circuitry.
Does it interpret a rheostat (Used in 1up) the same way as an IR input(Normal spinner)? (Asking because I have no clue)
Quoted from vid1900:I don't think it's a rheostat, I think it's a board mount rotary digital encoder:
[quoted image]
Like your old car stereo, where the volume knob would endlessly spin.
Ahh..OK, saw "rheostat" being mentioned in 1UP talk...
Quoted from plowpusher:Scheels has them on sale

Same regular price at Walmart around here... (For the four game one and Centipede one)
Quoted from stangbat:Asteroids is $199 at every Walmart around me according to Brickseek. I saw them at $199 today at my local Walmart. Everything else was $299.
Yup, the norm..
Quoted from MotorCityMatt:This guy does a pretty good job showing some good games I would have never played.
Watch "A few of John's Favorite and Best MAME arcade games" on YouTube
"Hey guys, we are in the basement!"
FYI, Asteroids etc model is $75 most Walmarts now...along with Centipede.

Quoted from Mudflaps:Thanks for the tip! $75[quoted image]
No prob...was there today, couldn't pull the pin...(did think about it for a tad).If it was a Galaga for $75, I'd probably do it...
Quoted from hawkeyexx:When I click the link the only show them for 199.00
Try again (I used your location zip, all $75)
20190521_232807.jpgQuoted from Luckydogg420:It looks stock.
I'm 5'8" and I'm comfortable playing standing. I bet at 6'4" a normal cabinet would also seen low. Games aren't made for people that tall.
I'm 6'1" and played a cab on a riser, not comfortable at all, unless your 10.
Star Wars is an Amazon "Deal of the day"
https://www.amazon.com/Arcade1Up-Arcade-Cabinet-Custom-Riser/dp/B082KTKGWY/ref=mp_s_a_1_4
Quoted from 72Devilz:Just a little heads up that the Star Wars 1Up with riser is selling on Amazon for the next 8 hours for $371.99 with free prime shipping. $77 less than Walmarts current price.
