In this video we will replace the following on our Atari Paperboy arcade game: Fuse Block, burnt resistor on the AR-III power supply, molex connector with trifurcon connectors on the video PCB. The voltage on my games is not staying a consistent 5V. Could it be the big blue? Lets see if we can fix the game in this video.

From Wikipedia:
Windjammers (also known as Flying Power Disc in Japan) is a fast-paced sports arcade game released by Data East on the Neo Geo arcade system in 1994 and later on the Wii Virtual Console in Japan on June 22, 2010. Following the bankruptcy of Data East, the intellectual rights for this game were acquired by Paon DP, a mobile company formed by some ex-Data East employees.[2][3] It was delisted from the Virtual Console on December 24, 2013, making it the only delisted Neo-Geo game for the Virtual Console. A port of the game with online multiplayer support was released by DotEmu for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on August 29, 2017, with a Nintendo Switch version planned for release on October 23, 2018.[4][5] A sequel, Windjammers 2, is planned for release on Nintendo Switch and PC in 2019.[6]

In this video we are going to check out and review the new Basic Fun Mini Electronic Classic Arcade Games. These games have an emulated VFD type display and look a lot like the style of game Coleco released back in the 80s with their mini arcade cabinets. In the video we will compare the Basic Fun mini classic arcade versions of Q*Bert, Centipede, and Frogger with the original 80s Arcade Cabinets and hardware. Are the sounds the same? Are the graphics the same? Is the artwork the same?
Also in the video we will tear down the unit and see how these things work.

Last year's Raw Thrills video is here youtube.com/watch?v=WN8XK-asHoQ
In this video we are going to visit the Raw Thrills Factory in Skokie, IL and check out the new TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade game. We will play the game and beat the first boss and really get a feel for this new four player brawler game. This is for sure a throwback type game that is very reminiscent of the four player Konami games. It's super cool! Also in the video we will check out the DC Comics themed Injustice game featuring Batman and trading cards. A pretty cool fighting game. And.. we'll see the XGames Snowboarding game and then visit the McDonalds #1 corporate store in Des Plaines, Illinois. AWESOME. 2017 2018

MONEY SHOT 01:22:33
In this video we are going to finish our LED job on the 1990 Bally Radical. In the last video we did the General Illumination (GI). In this video, we are going to attack the inserts, flashers, and POP Bumpers. This is a truly awesome mod that turns an old machine into new! Totally worth it!
LED's used in this video:
Premium Super Non-Ghosting for all inserts:

In this video we are going to replace all the 44/47 incandescent bulbs with 2 SMD Led bulbs from Comet Pinball. We will use "Sunlight" and "Natural White" for the GI. Will not use "Warm White" as I think those look too yellow.
This video will focus on only on replacing the GI (General Illumination) the next video in this series will use Coin Taker Non-Ghosting LEDs for the inserts, etc. I did not replace the FLASHERS with LEDs. What do you think? good or bad idea?
LEDs used in this video:
2SMD SUNLIGHT CLEAR were used for the playfield GI
2SMD NATURAL WHITE FROSTED and SUNLIGHT FROSTED for the backbox
http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/2smd-ct-ft.htm
