Title: Pong Arcade Cab From Jakks?
Post by: 1984lincoln on September 17, 2008, 12:48:39 pm

I have a couple of old pong cabinets gathering dust, I would like to keep them as pongs so my thought would be to wire in a two player jakks handheld pong game and run it through a tv.

Anyone pulled apart one of the jakks pong hand helds? does it have a pot that could be rewired?

The cabinets i have were built for very narrow black and white tvs (1973 technology)  so i might try and do a reflection of the screen and mount the tv in the bottom pointing up as well.

Any ideas on how to make this work best will be appreciated.

Here is a link to the cabinet types i have: http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=10444
