Title: HOOK arcade HELP!!! who doesnt love Robin Williams? ***brand new to these forums
Post by: Faxanadu Champ on April 01, 2010, 10:52:53 pm

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  :applaud:

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!!!!

This is a more MAME oriented board. You should post your question here:

Faxanadu Champ, welcome to the board.
Try posting your questions in Arcade Miscellaneous (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/board,24.0.html), or Restorations (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/board,41.0.html), you might have better luck there. I'm not certain all the restoration guys that are active on this board read the Main forum frequently.
 :cheers:

That supply is a standard switcher and should be fine. Tell the Quarterarcade guy that your game is JAMMA if you want to be certain. JAMMA is a wiring standard that many manufacturers started using in the late 80's, and your game is made to that standard.

Good luck and post some pics!



PS: I can't stand Robin Williams.  ;)

I agree, visit the Arcade Misc section.

Faxanadu, one of my favorite games.
