Coin-Op
Coin-Op Revival restores the machines that raised a generation,
one cabinet, circuit board, and burned-out screen at a time.

03 / THE LABORATORY
Built to be played. Abandoned to be Forgotten.
Every machine arrives with a history. Cigarette burns. Faded artwork. Dead monitors. Missing controls. Decades of repairs performed by people who stopped documenting what they changed. We uncover the original machine beneath the damage, preserve what deserves to remain, and rebuild what time destroyed.
04 / RESTORATION PROCESS
Every machine tells us where to begin.

OPEN CIRCUIT07 / FEATURED RESTORATION
Left for dead. Returned to play.
STF-1981 / STARFALL / CABINET
The water got in.
Water reached the base and the power supply. The cabinet is structurally rebuilt and the side artwork digitally reconstructed, every honest scar left intact.
STF-1981 / CONTROL PANEL
One switch at a time.
The cracked panel is rebuilt with period-correct leaf switches and button stock, each joystick returned to its original throw and calibrated by hand.
STF-1981 / CRT + BOARD
Recapped. Recalibrated.
The monitor is recapped and re-converged rather than replaced. The original board is repaired trace by trace, and the coin mechanism counts again.
08 / PHILOSOPHY
Restoration is not replacement.
A modern screen can make an old cabinet function.
It cannot make it original.
