Title: FA: Randy Fromm's Arcade School on Ebay
Post by: fredster on December 16, 2004, 11:18:29 pm: It's a good set. It's a '96 ish version of it, but I don't think transistors have changed much since then.

Once the process has begun, there is no way to stop it....

Post by: fredster on December 21, 2004, 01:34:40 pm: If you want to learn about arcade machines, this set will teach you how to fix it from the ground up.

If you don't want to buy this one, I suggest you go and get the tape set on Monitor repair from Randy, and a couple more.

I learned a lot using this set. It teaches you just about anything you need to know about arcade machine repairs from the cabinet to the circuit board.

It's over tommorow.

Post by: ChadTower on December 21, 2004, 02:02:27 pm: Either way, keep an eye on it. You don't see these on the secondary market very often.

Post by: jmh139 on December 22, 2004, 12:18:42 pm: If anyone is interested, I have these Randy Fromm videos on VHS. They are originals, the quality and production values are ok, but they do have a LOT of information in them. I've watched them all at one time or another and probably won't watch them again. I may put them on ebay after the others sell if no one is interested.

Post by: RayB on December 22, 2004, 12:32:06 pm: You guys do know he has alot of that stuff available for free online? Like using a digital multimeter. I guess it's not the same as watching video footage, but still a good start.
