Solid trusted source by many for pinball parts. It’s not about who has the best price. It’s about who has the parts in stock. Piecing together your parts list from multiple vendors is always a reality in this game.

Specializing in some very hard to find elsewhere circuit boards. They have run reproductions that are unobtainable other than from them. While their boards are available from places like Marco, you can also buy them direct from Rottondog for less.

*They have had previous versions with defective mosfets. If you get an older one and something is locked on or not working. It can be a $3 fix.

A website designed to search inventory for electronic parts with an extremely easy to use interface. The parts you need may be slightly more expensive or less expensive than others. We buy from here often.

Another great resource for electronics board parts.

Always remember, electrolytic capacitors in your 1980’s pinball machines have a life span of about 25-30 years. So if your machines has originals, replace them. Axial, Radial, screw terminal… All live in your boards, and your power supplies.

Gottlieb System 1, 80, 80A & 80B are world renowned for board problems. They bottle cap transistors used would be extremely hot and burn the PCB itself.

Flippp was launched by Pascal Janin. Designing a brand new all in one, plug and play replacement. These boards are absolutely worth the cost.

When an arcade cabinet becomes too stripped of its original components. Restoration can become more work than it’s worth. However, there are great uses for an old cabinet. Converting it into a MAME (Multi-cade) is a worth while project. Raspberry Pi 4B is a good board to use. The output source is HDMI. A CRT Monitor (used in arcade cabinets from the 1980’s through the 1990’s) has an input called CGA (Color Graphics Adaptor). This connects to your monitor via a 9 PIN D-SUB MALE cable with open wires at the monitor side. This adaptor will allow you to connect that new Raspberry Pi4B to your original CGA monitor. Keeping your cabinet looking amazing versus having to use a cheap LCD computer monitor.

Your biggest issue which this solves, is that your horizontal & vertical sync need to be tied together safely.

Description goes hereDon't want to buy the pre-made converter? Here is a DIY option.

Tomi has made it clear, if you want to make them for your own use, no problem. If you want to manufacture them for sale. He will not be happy.

Building a MAME from a Nintendo Cabinet? We have used this “Fighter” two player Donkey Kong CPO (Control Panel Overlay) with amazing success. This will fit perfectly into any 80’s Nintendo Cabinet. Donkey Kong, DK Jr, Popeye, or any number of other games they put in that cabinet. The CPO will require a wood underlay & lockdown receiver (Strike Set) found at MikesArcade.

Need to lockdown your Nintendo control panel to the cabinet? Stop messing around at the hardware store and get a set of these!

The RGB to CGA converter will require a 12 volt 1.9 amp switching power supply. Pick a higher rated AMP supply and your hardware will use what it needs only. Just do not exceed max amp draw by connecting too many other devices to it. If you need to, upgrade to a higher AMP output versions. If you do not have one in your build already, here is a decent one to work with your Converters.tv box mentioned above.
