    The opening of your show is totally rad. There's no Saturday more classic than playing something like Yars Revenge with the family. Those were good scores too!

    In the first episode of 7800 Ave. we celebrate Howard Scott Warshaw's Birthday by playing a few rounds of Yars' Revenge. 
    On the show we'll play 7800 games and 2600 games because thats the beauty of the system - you can play both. Play some Atari today with your friends and family and watch out for that zorlon cannon.

    Perfect.  This is a good start.  Its the only part of the cab that janky.  Cleaned the pot, if it still sticks ill just get a new one and my micro switches in the triggers need replaced.

    I don't know specifically about the wire loom, but here's the Atari System 1 Manual if it's of help to anyone:

    From what I can see (so far) are they splicing these cables to ground? I think it may be good to trace these wires that are spliced with a multimeter in tone-test mode and go into continuity mode, see if you can get two probes, one on the socket and then trace the cables around the cabinet and see if it beeps.  I'm thinking many of those weird, spliced cables may be grounded to the coin mechanism 

    If I were you, I would trace each one of those cables and remove those janky looking cables with some newer cables that are not oxidized in any way, they may be brittle now.  You mentioned your cabinet is in a bit of rough shape, I would recommend doing that once you get a good idea of where these cables are going.

    While you're at it, get some of this: https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-G5S-6-DeoxIT-Contact-Enhancer/dp/B00FC4YO60/ref=pd_lpo_236_tr_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1E3GS6GR65RRRW3QA1G3
     
    I totally swear by it, it removes any kind of oxidation (safely) from any electronic component.  You can actually get some at your local Radio Shack, too!

    Hey Gang, 
    Some of you who follow me on Instagram already know I recently picked up a Roadblasters System 1 cabinet,  Its a little rough around some of the edges but for 250 it was hard to pass up, plus i get a little summer project - win win in my book.  
     
    Ok so the only think that looks bad is the wire loom behind the coin door, there are some really sketchy hacks going on and I can't seam to find a picture  what its really suppose to look like... Im guessing I just match the like wire colors back but you can see in the picture that there are other bare wires jumping from nut to nut.  
     
    Any thoughts or advice would be very welcomed.

    Thanks so much!  Having a good time putting these together and walking down memory lane.  Trying to keep the fan boy vibe out of the show, these are all my games from when I was growing up so you're gonna hear the good the bad and the ugly... Hard Driving. Thanks again for your positive review of the show, just trying to keep it real.

    Wow, great channel! Love to see these dedicated console channels. Plus, your production value is really high, and you create a nice, easy-going tone for these videos. Quality stuff all-around. Subbed. Looking forward to more.
