What We Fix
Board Replacements
If the game won't power on, freezes, or keeps resetting itself, the control board is usually the culprit. We diagnose the fault and replace the board so the machine runs like it should.
Monitor Fixes
No picture, a rolling or scrolling image, wrong colors, or a dim, flickering screen — we repair CRT and modern arcade monitors so the picture is clear again.
Joystick & Button Repairs
Worn joysticks, sticky buttons, and broken microswitches change how a game feels to play. We clean, repair, or replace the parts so controls respond the way they're supposed to.
A Recent Repair
A classic Pac-Man cabinet with a garbled screen — traced to the video board and fixed on-site.
Before: garbled video signal
After: clean picture restored

What a Typical Job Looks Like
- 1
Call or text us and describe what the machine is doing — a photo or short video of the problem helps us prep before we arrive.
- 2
We look over the machine on-site, figure out what's actually wrong, and walk you through it in plain English before any repair starts.
- 3
We'll walk you through the cost before any work starts, including our service minimum. If parts turn out to be needed, we'll quote those once we're into the job — no surprises. Once you're good with it, we make the repair and test the machine through a few rounds of play before calling it done.
Serving the Coastside & Bay Area
We have family and friends on the coast and we're over there regularly on weekends anyway. No extra charge for coming over the hill — honestly, we enjoy the drive. Arcade cabinets included — we'll bring the tools to you.
