Hi, does anyone know how much it would cost to re-wire an arcade machine? My brother is going to do it for an arcade machine we may get, but I was curious as to how much it would cost. Thank you.
Rewire = getting rid of the torn up wire and replacing it with fresh, new wire. I'm going to play the arcade machine.
Well you can buy a new Jamma loom for about $20 on ebay, or you can make it yourself for half that. Obviously you need to know your monitor/PSU are OK as well. If you are going to gut and re-do everything, you may as well put new buttons/switches and joysticks in there as well.
Shouldn't this be in the arcade section? It depends on the state of the rest of it. If the wiring is that bad, the monitor may need a service, too. This could cost anything from a few dollars if you know about working on monitors and are happy working on a 20-30kv circuit, to umm you might as well get a new monitor!! If by wiring, you mean all the electrics are shot, then it could cost quite a bit. There's also the coin mech to take into consideration. Incidentally, making a JAMMA harness yourself is a pain in the arse!
Ah, yes...you are right. I've just never gone in the arcade section, so I never even thought about it. Good call.
Hehe I'm just surprised that a moderator replied to the post but didn't move it! lol I was looking for some pics of my loom to show ya, but they must have got deleted.
