anyone got experience using deguassing wands, such as the one pictured, on CRTs that don't have built-in degaussing coils? do they work? any sage advice from arcade & retro tech enthusiasts?

the little 4-inch CRTs we used in the infopoints at EMF Camp have some nonlinear warping that isn't corrected by tweaking the deflection oscillator amplitude/phase adjustment pots, and also isn't consistent with the tube curvature, so I'm suspicious of static magnetic fields.

a generic deguassing wand. it's a green plastic block with a mains power cable coming out of it. my guess is they're feeding AC into a magnetic coil, probably with a series resistor, to produce an alternating magnetic field.

If you just want to play a simple arcade game, may I suggest the Vivaldia series?

They are fun and free. 😀

This is a beautiful machine. A bartop arcade cabinet with a wood look running Linux Mint.

Looks like it was built in the 70's or 80's.

Hi, people! ✌️

I've build "Cat a shooter 😼" for Android, and this is the last thing that I have to do for a while.

And now you can download this game for your Android device 📱 from Gamejolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/cat-a-shooter/1007868

or from itch.io: https://xolatgames.itch.io/cat-a-shooter

Also I've add instructions for building to it GitLab page 👉 https://gitlab.com/xolatgames/cat-a-shooter

So, I think that it's all, and see ya later.

Have a good day! 😉 😜 ✌️

Here's Hopeakuula Arcade's main room. Located in Kouvola, Finland, this hobbyist run, not for profit arcade has been welcoming the pinball-curious folks since 2011.

Mostly run by yours truly and my partner in life and crime, @quester, we aim to keep pinball alive for the next generations of players. The collection has over 35 games, ranging from 70s electromechanicals to the latest 2020 ones.
