Epic Carnival Arcade Restoration - Full Tilt!

Step right up and win a prize! There are no concessions here--this is the EPIC FULL TILT restoration video for Sega Gremlin's 1981 classic, Carnival! 3+ hours of restoration goodness!

Tod will be your ringmaster and Cindy the helpful assistant as they guide you on a journey to pick up a shell of a game and give it the full restoration treatment.

This is by far the longest restoration video to date, but if one epic journey is too much for you, check out the split episode versions Part 1 and Part 2 instead. And if you came ready to party--welcome to the main event!

This project contains nearly every aspect of arcade restoration. When Tod and Cindy pick up the game in Michigan, it's been converted to Mr. Do and missing most of what made it Carnival. They'll have to hunt down original parts like the main game board, sound board, power supply, monitor, and wiring harnesses, as well as locate artwork for the front and sides to restore it to its original factory glory. There are numerous twists and turns along the way, but you'll see cabinet repair and painting, circuit board troubleshooting, monitor rebuilding, wiring, assembly. and everything in between--all in a fun and fast-paced manner!

At the end, Tod links his newly restored Carnival arcade game to the internet and shoots for a high score. He's up to the challenge. Are you?
