07. The Ship of Theseus and other Descents into Madness (The Reproduction Parts Episode)

Artwork, harnesses, controls, power supplies, monitors, PCBs, cabinets, and more... When is it ok to use reproduction parts in your restoration/repair projects, and do they need to be 1:1 recreations of the original, or are modern "upgrades" a reasonable alternative? How far are YOU willing to go for oRiGiNaLiTy? Welcome to The Coin Jam Podcast, a show about repairing, restoring, and collecting classic coin-operated amusement machines. We cover everything from #arcade video games and #pinball machines, to jukeboxes, redemption games, and more. If you've ever wanted to listen to a group of guys ramble on about multimeters, Molex connectors, desoldering tools, CRT monitor chassis, bondo, and blown fuses... then this is the podcast for you! Hosted by Jeremiah from Coin-Op Corner, Liam from Retrobotics, and Charlie from Overtime Arcade on YouTube, as well as K' from Prime Arcade Sales & Repair on Tik Tok and Facebook. https://www.youtube.com/@coin-opcorner3774 https://www.youtube.com/@retrobotics https://www.youtube.com/@overtimearcade https://www.tiktok.com/@prime_arcade https://www.facebook.com/primearcade
