Coin Op Games
 

 

For everyone from the home arcade game collector to the arcade technician.

 

 If you are new to the coin-op industry, you will find much joy and many surprises. The joy is in restoring used games and earning profits from them. The surprises come when an individual buys an arcade game with the thoughts of profit and the machine tears up. With no knowledge of the machines you are buying, you may just end up with an enormous paperweight.

 

 Repairing a coin operated arcade game isn't rocket science. A little education goes a long way. Here at Coin Op Games, we have articles and information for the new coin op businessman and the arcade technician, and I promise I won't forget the home arcade fanatic.  Please take your time and enjoy my site, and I hope you find it useful.




Power Supply Voltage ---

  Power supply voltage can wreak havok on your arcade game. Common symtoms of a power supply in need of adjustment include irradical behaviour, frequent freezing of game or gameplay, odd video, and the classic "It won't come on".  <more>

Clean that machine!
  I can't stress enough how game appearance effects gameplay. A dirty machine in poor condition will not attract a customer. Simply by cleaning the exterior of your machine and replacing burnt out lights can greatly increase the profitability of your machine. Keeping your coin mechanisms clean is another must. If a player can't get your machine to take a coin in the first couple of attempts, that coustomer is gone. By keeping the coin mechanism in good working order the machine will get the coin on the first try. Replacing trim and decals on the game cabinet can draw more interest to your machine. New control panel overlays are available that when combined with a new joystick, makes your machine look and feel alot "newer".
