That music in the background... Grab that auto 5.

great restoration. but arrrrgh! that music! when it cut out at the end, i actually felt relief.

Now that was labor of love! I recently played an original Konami Simpons arcade cabinet from 1991 that has been upgraded to accept "game card points" rather than take coins. I found it up & running at a small arcade at my local boardwalk. It was definitely a blast from the past! I used to play that game along with a TMNT arcade game at various arcades as a kiddo. Great job on your restoration.

I am so happy I've been along for the ride on this one and seeing things kind of in progress as they've been built. You killed it on this one, man. Fantastic work!!

Great work on the restoration man! This game is such a classic retro game. I remember playing this game at the mall in my town long ago, a pizza place, and anywhere I could find it. I finally found one to buy 4 years ago, and now I own one. It works great and still love the feeling.

Nice job. It’s great that you could get the vinyl artwork. The arcade machine that I’m working on had spray/stencil artwork. I could use tape instead of stencil, but the.blurred edges on the artwork is part of the authenticity..

Great video! Beat this arcade game last year in Arizona.

I would definitely build one of these out of a microcontroller and a LCD screen. Excellent work, thanks for sharing, I played this game in ~1993 here in Colombia.

you can prevent dust from getting under the artwork if you bend it over the edge and under the t-mold

Nice video. Have you ever thought about upgrading the CRT to a bigger size? The cabinet can definitely hold a bigger size.

@GameDadShow

It actually originally comes with a bigger size (this is just what was in it when I got it), but honestly, for me, it works perfectly fine and if I were to go bigger, I would likely just ditch the CRT altogether and go lcd. For now though, it's all good :)

great choice of music, this rocks! putting this on my ROCK BREAK playlist... whats it from?

In the middle of a restore of the same game currently. Care to share where you purchased the vinyl? Feel like there are so many options and opportunities to get bamboozled by poor products. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

all this for just one game! i love the 80s

The music is a bit much. And loud

What the one thing I never told you was that the cartoon comedy series version of the Simpsons, always depicted the minor characters that have these failed marriage relationships. I remember when Troy McClure tried to create a marriage relationship with no love.

I love that game. I thought it was fun

The music. Dude. Cmon.

I was trying to keep it as original as I could to how I received it. I'm actually taking it with me to the Midwest Gaming Classic to try and sell it. If it doesn't sell I'll put it in the game room and likely upgrade everything including an LCD for a little higher quality on the graphics.

Idk if you addressed this but that really looks like a 19” monitor. All the 4 player Konami cabs were 25”

This is extremely cool. Why didn't you keep the original side art? It looked pretty good. :)

Awesome job. The stock music for 20mins straight was kind of terrible. Not that the song is bad, it's just too repetitive in a video this long. I do make beats which are perfect for background music. If your interested in anything let me know. I know its rap but I do make some that is pop and commercial enough for something like this.

Hey there. I have a Simpsons machine and recently turned it on and it is not working. I've been posting on some arcade forums looking for help and people have made suggestions that haven't done the trick yet. Do you think there would be any way you could give me tips or guidance? I know nothing about these machines and have only just begun to scratch the surface. Thank you for your time

The first thing I would look at is the power supply and making sure your getting proper 5V power to the board. Also check all plugged connections and maybe even clean the contacts a bit to ensure a solid connection.

@@GameDadShow hi there. I have more info on the specifics. When I fire up the machine it does a ram rom check and when it gets to the 16c and 17c, it says "BAD" followed by a 4 digit sequence of numbers/letters that seem to change but usually has the same sequence of numbers. I was told on an arcade forum to reseat the chips. So I did that by carefully prying on the specific chips on the board and carefully replacing them. Didnt fix the problem sadly. So that is where I am currently and do not know where to go from here. Thank you for responding

@GameDadShow

Sounds like either the rom chips are bad, the contacts are dirty, or the contacts in their seats are dirty. Try some contact cleaner, but make sure it’s safe for plastics so it doesn’t damage the board. And of course. Let me know how it goes!

Literally just bought one, and started poking around. Followed where different wires went to see what they did. Process of elimination to see where disconnected things went. Really just trial and error. Then eventually you start to recognize issue and can diagnose from there. As for woodworking, I've been around construction my entire life since my dad was a contractor, so that I just picked up over time. As for soldering, etc, I work in IT, so again, picked it up over time.

While not that extreme..yes I want to. Only problem is that in my area, CRT’s are extremely hard to find. If I find one I definitely will swap it, but I’m not going to pay the small fortune to have one shipped

The final product looks pretty decent, and shows you put a lot of well-worth effort into this project. Though, the looping rock guitar track in the back was rather distracting and quite annoying, especially when sound was the focus (such as with the initial and final sound checks). I think it's okay to have no sound, or a couple of light drum/bass backing tracks instead of looping the same piece for nearly 20 minutes. I watched for maybe 3 minutes before I just had to mute the video and skip around to what seemed interesting. Audio is really important in long-duration KZread videos.
