Matt Sengbusch builds unique arcade cabinets using components recovered and restored from classic arcade games. We visit his workshop to learn how he fixes game boards and designs these half-scale arcade cabinets to fit original parts like CRT monitors, coin slots, and full-sized controls.

I’m sorry but they are just way too small. Trying to play a 4 player game like gauntlet would be a nightmare.

Many other TVs can be modded to support RGB. Here’s an example mod by the 8-bit guy

Great interview!
So Awesome!
So much cooler than those lame 1up things
I like that this video had less editing and was more naturalistic, keeping the conversation authentic and not eroding away the detail that a lot of us nerdgeeks enjoy. Good job, editor!
Very impressive work, great act of preservation / re-invention.
This is how 1up arcade should have done these but at the same time I wouldn't mind something in between the size of a original dedicated cab & the 1up…
Norm waving fingers around the live end of a CRT tube …. a new kind of cringe
I am huge fans of mario game even the old game and can i buy mario vs donkey kong plese
Congratulations, a clever job well done, these mini cabinets are too beautiful.

Well Matt, I’ve now watched this video more times than any other on YouTube. I love it. Ben
Fuck this guy! 5k to 8k on these midget games. U keep ur games. Ur business isn’t gonna go far. This guy is nuts. I’ll make my own
I need that DKong and Kong Jr more than I need water & oxygen.
Wow. would have liked to be involved in something like this. If I'm ever on the States ill need to give you a visit
To bad they are only for rent, I want to own the donkey kong, oh well
This is so cool! I can’t believe it took YouTube so long to recommend this to me.
If you're going to go to all that trouble, why not just restore the originals?
Very cool! I see he only has these for rent now, which is probably because he is making these by hand and they take awhile!
I like the mk2
Hope this guy expands starts another small factory on the east side of USA. I love it but $5k is very steep a full size goes for less shipping included unless you want to make it very top notch. I think maybe he can go for $2k I'll buy it a Ms Pacman and Joust. I'll check his company out.
Long live arcades and crts!!!
The Donkey Kong Jr. Monitor is Upside-Down!
So cool to hear that you can use an arcade chassis with a consumer tube!
input lag on those games is pretty much total BS. especially Donkey Kong where guys play mame with a keyboard to near world record scores. i can't find a game from the golden age of arcades that make any difference. emulation yes, but even then, that's negligible. it's like a wanna be cool thing to say though.
Shame lcd input has been as low as crr for years
Fuck
that dk junior with uncovered erase windows on the eproms
not that big of a deal but still yike
Love that they talk about input lag.
A mini Neo Geo would be really neat
Terrible idea yea keep the crt and board both of them will break and keep breaking.
This made Arcade1Up’s seem even more cool
This is supercool. Only issue I see is still relying on a CRT. Those parts are gonna start to get stupid pricey here
"built better then actual arcade games" then uses wood dowels and no screws…😒 but still cool cabinets!
