It's awesome seeing you're arcade cabinet getting restored. I'm happy for you. Can't wait to see the end of the journey.

These videos are awesome. Vinny is single handedly making the idea of owning an arcade cabinet less intimidating for me.

I dont envy VInny at all.  I have a heart attack putting every time I have to put new parts into my PC let alone messing with a cabinet like this.

Awesome.

Vinny, don't do the 3 prong cord yourself! Get someone who knows 100%, not the internet-armchair-electricians; it's too dangerous.

These sorts of how-to fix it tutorials are the kind of thing that I would think Tested would be doing. However, this is still pretty rad. <3 Vin Dog.

This was cool. But what I really want to see is Vinny shopping at a store for a racing wheel, with Jeff and Ryan there trying their best to talk him out of it.

Are these board parts easy to find?

I thought the original bulbs were diffusing light more evenly.

"Oily Italian" was my favorite WWF wrestler back in 1986.

His "Dirty Lights" finishing move was DEVASTATING!

When these guys get too old to cover new games or whatever, they need to do a show about restoring arcade and pinball machines. Like some New Yankee Workshop/This Old House business.

That would be so amazing.

When everything switches over to iPhones and Facebook, we will still have a home.

Shit they can play Neo-Geo games all day for all I care.

They should totally play some Neo-Geo games.

I want all of these things.

Honestly, if there were just a segment where Vinny repaired things I'd probably watch. Next week, the noisy dryer!
