I know very few (if anyone) will understand why this is important but the second to the last entry of this traceroute is a long time coming:

I have removed the customer’s IP I used for the trace just in case someone wanted to get ahold of it. All of the rest are publicly available so there is no point in hiding those.
I got a Virtual On: Cyber Troopers cab at an auction for pretty cheap. The thing is heavy but it seems pretty fun.
I don’t plan on restoring this cab as I will not be making it part of my permanent collection. I will make some needed fixes to the boards and to the 2P start button but past that it will largely remain the same.
For some reason Sega neglected to register SegaNaomi.com. Now I own it… not a big deal but I seem to collect domain names and this one may grab a few bucks if I can find a buyer.
I will give it a go at some point.
Oh, and more updates soon… really.
I decided to spruce things up a bit so I changed my header image. I kept within my Aurora Borealis theme but I feel this one offers a little bit more depth and feel to it.
I hope to make some more posts soon and to expand my postings past just my hobby updates into more frequent life related updates.
See you soon!
Well I have not been keeping current with my updates so I figured I would share my latest project:
Gottlieb's Duotron prior to cleaning
The machine was in someones estate and as far as I am aware was never in an arcade so it is in amazing shape to have been around since 1974. I have replaced all the rubber elements and both of the balls for the game. The field has been cleaned and waxed and a few of the lamps have been replaced.
The only remaining issue with the machine is that the bonus/special counter gear is missing a few teeth. I am currently in a search for this part but as of yet I have not had any luck. If I am unable to find one I will have to have one custom made.
Check out the Duotron at The Internet Pinball Database for more photos and stats on the machine.
I finished the MS8-26SU cap kit but I have not had a chance to test it. I will plug it up later today and give it a go and report back any issues. This being my first cap kit I hope nothing will go wrong but the soldering went smooth enough and I as able to repair the damage the person before me did to the board.
Here are the values for the cap kit:

Bob Roberts carries the cap kit or you can just order the parts from Mouser.

So after some searching and a little out of the old pocket book the old seaman has light to navigate by.
Popeye Marquee Light
If anyone is looking for the marquee light bulb size or the glow starter for Popeye or any of the old Nintendo cabs the bulb is a FL10D 10W 13″ tube with a FG7E glow starter.
Being on the verge of ten years old the beatmania cab was in a serious need of a cleaning. While the main cab still needs work progress has been made with the main game play buttons. After two runs in the dish washer and some hand cleaning with some 91% they play like new. Other then a few dents in the plastic they look pretty new as well.

Maybe we can have it ready to spin again by its tenth birthday.
