Request Service| General Arcade Repair Questions | |
|---|---|
| What arcade games do you repair? | Castlework Technologies services vintage arcade machines, commercial-style cabinets, CRT-based games, cocktail tables, game PCBs, control panels, cabinet wiring, power supplies, and many multicade systems. |
| Do I need to know what kind of arcade machine I have? | No. Many customers only know that the game does not turn on, has no picture, has no sound, or has broken controls. Photos of the cabinet, screen, control panel, inside wiring, and labels are usually enough to begin. |
| My arcade game turns on but has no picture. Can you help? | Yes. This may be a CRT monitor, LCD display, video signal, power supply, game board, wiring, or configuration problem. We can help narrow it down. |
| My arcade game was working yesterday and now is dead. What should I check? | Unplug the machine if you smell burning, see smoke, or hear arcing. Otherwise, note whether the marquee light, monitor, sound, coin door, or game board shows any sign of power, then contact us with photos and symptoms. |
| Do you offer on-site arcade repair? | Yes. On-site service is available throughout the Greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area and select surrounding communities. See the Service Areas page for the current location list. |
| What areas do you serve? | We serve the Greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area and select surrounding communities. See the Service Areas page for the current city and location list, and call to confirm availability for your exact location. |
| Do you buy or sell arcade games and parts? | Castlework Technologies may buy, sell, source, or help evaluate arcade machines, repaired monitor chassis, game PCBs, project cabinets, and related arcade parts depending on availability and condition. |
| Do you repair Arcade1UP products? | No. Castlework Technologies does not currently service Arcade1UP products. We specialize in vintage arcade machines, CRT monitor repair, arcade PCBs, multicades, commercial-style arcade equipment, and related arcade systems. |
| CRT Monitor Questions | |
| What is a CRT monitor? | A CRT monitor is the original glass tube-style display used in many vintage arcade games. These displays are very different from modern LCD screens and require specialized service. |
| Do you repair CRT arcade monitors? | Yes. CRT monitor repair is one of the core specialties, including monitor chassis troubleshooting, cap kits, solder repair, flybacks, HOT failures, power issues, sync problems, vertical collapse, color problems, tube swaps, convergence, and purity checks. |
| Do you repair Wells-Gardner monitors? | Yes. Castlework Technologies works on many Wells-Gardner arcade monitor chassis, including common models found in classic arcade cabinets. |
| Do you repair Electrohome monitors? | Yes. Electrohome arcade monitors such as the G07 are a common vintage arcade monitor platform and can often be repaired or refurbished. |
| Do you repair Sanyo arcade monitors? | Yes. Sanyo arcade monitors are common in classic Nintendo cabinets and require careful arcade CRT service. |
| Can CRT monitors still be repaired? | Often, yes. Many CRT arcade monitors can be repaired if the tube is usable and key parts are available. The exact repair depends on the chassis, symptoms, tube condition, and prior work. |
| Multicade Questions | |
| What is a multicade? | A multicade is an arcade cabinet that plays many games instead of one dedicated original game. It may use MAME, RetroPie, Batocera, ArpiCade, Pandora, a 60-in-1 board, or another emulator/multigame system. |
| Do you repair MAME cabinets? | Yes. Castlework Technologies can help with MAME cabinets, front-end configuration, controls, USB encoders, displays, audio, game lists, and general troubleshooting. |
| Do you repair RetroPie systems? | Yes. RetroPie arcade cabinets and Raspberry Pi based builds can often be repaired, reconfigured, or cleaned up for easier use. |
| Do you repair Batocera systems? | Yes. Batocera-based arcade cabinets, mini PC builds, display settings, audio issues, controls, and game configuration can be supported. |
| Do you repair Pandora and 60-in-1 systems? | Yes. Pandora systems and 60-in-1 arcade boards can often be diagnosed, replaced, configured, or integrated depending on the cabinet and wiring. |
| Can you repair a game purchased from Amazon or a rec-room website? | Often, yes, as long as it is not an Arcade1UP product. Many generic multicades use emulator hardware, USB encoders, LCD screens, audio amps, and wiring that can be diagnosed or upgraded. |
| Customer Environment Questions | |
| Do you service Airbnb and Vrbo game rooms? | Yes. Arcade games can help short-term rentals stand out, but guest use can wear out controls, displays, audio, and power systems. We can help maintain arcade games for rentals. |
| Do you service churches and youth centers? | Yes. Churches, youth centers, fellowship halls, recreation ministries, and family life centers often have arcade games or multicades. Castlework Technologies can help diagnose and repair those machines. |
| Do you service restaurants and bars? | Yes. Restaurants, bars, breweries, arcades, and entertainment spaces can use on-site service to reduce downtime and keep games working for customers. |
| Do you service home arcades? | Yes. Home arcades, basements, garages, game rooms, cocktail tables, and online-purchased multicades are all common service situations. |
