Welcome to the What's New News!

Here you will find all the latest news of what's happening with the Arcade Restoration Workshop!

Well, I replaced the batteries in my Robotron with the Lithium Battery upgrade from Bob Roberts and it worked great. Had a little issue (wouldn't boot) at first, but that was probably my fault. The problem went away by itself, so it could have been garbage in NVRAM or a bad connection on the connectors.

I highly recommend this upgrade to your Williams boards. The Lithium battery will last a lot longer then the AA batteries and you don't have to worry about your board being destroyed from Battery Acid Damage. The kit is only $5 from Bob Roberts and only takes a few minutes to install.

Next up is Defender, Stargate, and probably Sinistar.

Galaga Died

So my Galaga died today...

I'm not sure if it's coincidence or related, but I was turning the power off on my Defender by the power switch under the control panel at the exact time it failed. The switch was a bit tough to toggle so it was like in the half way position when it happened. Both games are on the same circuit.

Kickman Restoration/Preservation started

Restoration/Preservation has begun on my Kickman.

It's not a full restoration, but more of a preservation of what is there. I like trying to keep things as original as possible. With that in mind, I can take a few chances on this one as the damage is already done. I'm mainly trying to prevent even more damage when I can. Worse comes to worse, I'll do a full restore on it down the road.
