Got this Heathkit OP-1 “Professional Oscilloscope” at the last electronics flea market back in September. Only had to make a few tweaks to the crt to get things looking great. Not bad for a 65 year old device!

@JohnAndersen21 A great translated interview from the Battke Bird team! https://t.co/sTYliFUqVi

Two and a half years later and ChatGPT Image 2 is much better at recognizing Japanese arcade cabinets, but still adds slop with wrong side art, and extra buttons to the left of the joystick? *sigh*

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

DALL-E 3 has no idea what a Japanese arcade cabinet looks like.

@willyayy I’d pick glasses over Ghost In The Shell cop eye implants, from a social perspective. 😆

@zippy731 Hey Chris, check your discord! There is an osci meetup coming later this month.

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@zippy731 Claude Code or OpenClaw? I’ve been playing with the latter.

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@arcadeheroes I played this at Hey Arcade in Japan during the loctest test with my son, while exa was steaming it on twitch! Very cool game!

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@kite_VR_noe Did the real Taito MB enclosure have this mechanism or is this your modification for the VR enclosure version? It’s very cool!

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@bucho_mizore @TaitoASelection I am fond of SEGA Astro City and Konami Windy cabinets!

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

Not an ideal way to play a Darius PCB but I’ll take it!

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@psykomantis I don’t think I’ve seen this in a cocktail before, and HUO is wild! I have the OG standup and will take it to my grave it’s such a good game.

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@arcadeheroes Congrats on (wow) 19 years!!

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@STGshmups VOOT rocks! https://t.co/qzmWsaZVTA

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@SEGA Looks/feels similar to Dolphin Blue (on Atomiswave).

@davepl1968 Let me know if you need help restoring. I finished mine! https://t.co/LIVxgJt9BR

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

Finally restored one of my “grail” terminals I bought as broken 8 years ago. This was top of the line graphics in 1976 and still stunning today!

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@joewilliams @davepl1968 fyi this guy is reposting your stuff as their own content?

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@kite_VR_noe I love the classic mode in battle zone vr! Using your vr boundary as a crude XR like experience is interesting!

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@andreasgysin Is there an expected date when the custom driver board will be available for purchase?

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@davepl1968 If you can’t figure out how to interface with the vector processor (which would be a shame), you could try bypassing all that where the processor XYZ outputs to the deflection amplifiers, and insert you own XYZ signals. The Z might be tricky though if it’s pulse width modulation.

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@bmoshix What a great service (and community)!

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

@kite_VR_noe かっこいいですね！私も次回挑戦してみたいです。

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

I should clarify, the death cap was not failing, it was perfectly fine. The reason I’m seeing 117v AC is because of the on/off/on switch was sending line voltage to the chassis (via this cap). If I move to the other on side (flipping polarity) it would put neutral on the chassis.

[Dave K. @ArcadeFever]

Beware the “death cap” on vintage amplifiers with original two prong power cords.
