Video Game Repair/Expert Profile

Expertise

I can answer questions on Arcade or Home Console repair or modification.

Experience in the area

Repair, rewire, modification, rebuild, restore. (I repair numerous business and private arcade/pinball machines in my area of the state. I partner with a shop that stocks older console based systems and games, I am the one that repairs them back to working order.)

Education/Credentials

Have been building, customizing and repairing all types of arcade games since 2004. I have been repairing and modifying video games since the late 80's. (Most of my knowledge is self learnt and following others that have trailblazed in the industry.)

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Learning to solder without burning myself. LOL

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Take one Sega Genesis and one Sega 32 X. A heap of wire and about 6 hours and you too can build a non released defunct Sega Neptune. (Which is basicly a combination of the 2)

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Unfortunitly gaming systems are now more throw away they arn't built to last. They also arn't really tested well when they are released, ultimately the end user is doing the testing for the company.
