Hello!

I found this site and already I'm in love with it! I was looking for a forum dedicated to actually BUILDING and RESTORING arcades so I'm glad I found this 

I am looking to buy a "Hook" arcade cabinet which is in fine working order except that it needs a power supply. So my question is, what power supply would definilty work on a Hook upright?? The game was made my 'Irem' and released in 1992.

Link to Hook on KLOV:

I asked a very reputable arcade dealer near me, and here is a link to a power supply that he has that he thinks SHOULD work, but wasn't completely sure without seeing the game in person:

Can anyone help?!




Thanks!!!!

Wow, Hook.  Rare game. (Don't mention that to the seller!) That was one of the last games put out by Irem before they closed up their California office (I think?!)

It's a JAMMA standard game so yes that power supply will do. $35 is average price for a switching power supply.

Only remaining questions you SHOULD be asking us is about price. We wouldn't want to see you get gouged.

Faxanadu Champ:
awesome, thanks man!!


im getting the Hook cabinet totally dedicated with everything orignal (except MAYBE sideart) for $150!!!  ;D

youre right, Hook cabinets are really rare from what I've found, I've seen a few pics of them before but now I cant even find another picture of one anywhere on the internet- the overlay, marquee and bezel are all there, but I'm not quite sure about the sideart- it looks like it might be a generic side art





but I dont know because its hard to find a picture of any of these cabinets!!!!!
it looks like it might be one of those "Winners Don't Do Drugs" things that played before a lot of the early 90's arcades!  :lol

If anyone knows or finds one and could post it that would be incredible


Thank you so much again!! :applaud:

That's a photo of a conversion cabinet.  Looks to be a Williams cab.  Can't tell which one from that shot.

That's totally a Robotron cabinet!  I'd spot one anywhere!
