I'm not sure if anybody here even has one of these, but I think this website may be a good source for advice. I recently got a PS1 Gamestop demo station (I guess you could consider it a cabinet).

Questions:
How do I hook this up and how do I get it to work?
Is a PS1 required or is it already built into the cabinet?
Can I use a normal TV for this?
How could I go about disassembling this (not completely, but just into parts small enough to easily carry up stairs)?
Can this only play demos?

I may ask more questions and put more pictures up later.

You may have seen my topic about me finding these macs and I want to find out how to fix them. The macs and problems are:

a standard SE

Whenever I turn it on it says "The disk "untitled" needs minor repairs. Do you want to repair it?" When I click OK or cancel the system just reboots and says the same thing.

an SE with 2 disk drives

When I turn it on a picture shows up with a floppy disk and a question mark on it. I could see inside one of the slots that something is plugged out and I assume that the disk drive is plugged out. There is also some rattling inside.

Another SE with 2 disk drives

Same problem as the last one, but I didn't see anything plugged out nor hear any rattling.

SE FDHD with 2 disk drives

When I turn it on a white vertical line appears across the screen.

Mac Plus

same problem as the SE with 2 disk drives and sometimes there is an X over the picture. the monitor takes a long time turning on and I think i need to put in a PRAM battery in the back. When I take off the battery panel there is nothing there. The case is kind of sticky too. I also need a special mouse and keyboard. The computer doesn't make any noises.

Could anyone diagnose the real problems and tell me how to fix them? Is it safe to open the case of these macs? What precautions should I take when opening it if I can?

Going to Stop & Shop one day while playing Animal Crossing and my mom slams the brakes and says "hey, I wonder if that's a Macintosh?" She backs up and this is what we see.

3 Macintosh SEs, 1 SE FD HD, 1 Macintosh plus, a performa 200, an LC, an LC III, a dot matrix printer, a black and white monitor, and a keyboard (no wires or mouse, but I already have them). The LC and Performa are the only ones that have worked perfectly. The Plus has no battery or keyboard, one of the LCs has a line going down the monitor when you turn it on, when I turn in the LC III it has the normal start up noise and then plays a minor tone and a thick blue line appears across the screen, one SE's floppy drive isn't plugged in, another has something wrong with the disk drive. I hope I can fix some of these.

My mom is forcing me to go to Virginia this weekend (how exciting). On my way there I'm stopping by Digital Press!!!!! I've wanted to go to Digital Press for a really long time. I hope I walk out of there with something good . I hope my mom doesn't rush me so I hardly get any time to browse.

I'm wondering, how many people on this forum have visited Digital Press. From 1-10 how would you rate the store (merchandise, prices, etc?

I would have gone to Dillon music, which is in a town right next to Cifton, but that store closes at 5pm, and I'm leaving at 12pm. It does NOT take 2 hours to get from CT to NJ. I learned that when I got to Dillon music 10 minutes before it closed because my smart friend decided to leave so that we get to NY right when rush hour starts! 7 hours there and 5 hours back. I forgot my saxophone reed in the car and had no time to go back and get it. NO BASS SAX PLAYING FOR ME! It would be pretty cool to make 2 pilgrimages to 2 things my whole life is based on in one day though.

Oh boy I finally get my Atari 400 after the guy shipped it a week late! I'm so excited!!! When I pick up the box I first realize there is a hole in the bottom left corner and the whole thing looks like it was delivered in a origami orbital drop pod. That's a really bad sign right there. I slice through the hundreds of layers of tight tape and finally get to my Atari and notice that Instead of bubble wrap the guy put not nearly enough of that foam popcorn crap inside. I'm worried as heck right now so I immediately check every corner and that's when the problem arises...

Now I'm enraged especially since the insurance I payed for doesn't cover it. I think they should open their freaking eyes BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT INSURANCE IS FOR!!!!

Also there is no metal on the inside of the door and the door doesn't spring open, And the controller that came with it fell apart, and 4 other boxed controllers were crammed into the box, and When I opened the system up it was dirty as sin, but hey, that's Ebay for ya!
