Nanao MS9 repair complete! One of the pads was burned off the chassis color adjustment pots (Green). Replaced all of the pots and ran a jumper, and we are back up and running! #arcade #repair #crt

Both PVMs fired up! One doesn't have a working control board, and one started smoking! Time to do some research!

Our wedding invites were made with real NES carts from a local game store. I made an extra for the store and they keep it on their retail shelf :)

System 18 Multi is finally acting proper!
22.09.2025 01:57 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It took me a bit to get used to it. I push down on the plastic actuator to release tension then the small flat head can fit in the e-clip gaps and twist. I think I learned it from the SRK Forums a while back.
18.09.2025 02:34 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I've always just used a small flat head to "twist" slightly and the clips will come out slowly. Then use some smaller channel locks to "click" them back on. It works pretty well once you get used to it.
