Snap. Missed this one. Another one of Pop's cabinet art. The artwork that surrounds the monitor; stuff like that is unmistakably his. Atari seemed to love his race cars so check out the game TX-1 and Super Sprint for more of his racing related stuff. The logo screen on Super Sprint was also his (the one that captures a few cars racing in mid-wreck and you can see tires and junk shooting into the air). Freaking bad-ass if I do say so.

I think the coolest thing about this vid was pointing out the cigarette burns, that hit me in the gut bro. It's like I could instantly smell and hear all the places I played that game in back in the 80s. Pizza Hut, 7-11, the roller rink, shoot even at fricken KOA Campgrounds. Ain't it weird that something like cigarette burns on an arcade cabinet can take me back to the 80s. Love your channel man.

Ohhh that makes so much sense! My Battlezone and asteroids cabinets both have burn marks on the top and I was so confused!

I bought a bare pole position cabinet. It had a pole position marque that was mostly missing due to the lamp, and the pole position 2 glass. I turned it into a multicade.

One of my favorite racing games of all time.

By the way, I LOVE that music at 13:03. I'm gonna make an extended version soon.

Essa é bem clássica, parabéns! Gosto dos jogos antigos dos anos 70, 80.. Tenho só uma original de fábrica. Chama se: Black Tiger 1987. Abraço e uma boa tarde. Já ganhou meu joinha..

On some pole positions and main problem is the monitor says game over on the burn in

[lascheque]

My desk (that I am siiting on right now) is made of a side panel of a Pole Position upright... (don't ask, times were very dark). I also have a (working!) cockpit, which will not share the same fate... What a great game.

No wonder the monitor had a problem it was a piece of matsushita

[ThomasGrillo]

Great to see this cabinet in good working condition. Thanks. If ONLY I could afford a real arcade cabinet. LOL

[jeeperscreepers]

It's pretty impressive what our consoles do today, considering what it takes to keep this arcade game going.

[ArgonautArcade]

Thats one clean machine! Looks way better than mine :) There's also a PP2 CPO sticker that goes over the gauges.

I just picked one up. Assuming not working. If I have board issues, I was wondering who the tech was that fixed it. Ty. Great video.

[CastleMisha]

All ya need is a pizza parlor and the 80’s ♥️

Did Atari collaborate with namco ? I recall playing poll position on the namco museum games on playstation

[jamesraines]

Could u tell me where you had the pole postion board repaired I have one and need it worked on

[impactnu]

Do have a mother board for Pole position 1

I just started working on my Pole Position 2 cabinet, so far ive pulled the battery, wired 5v test points together, rebuilt the Power brick and 1 of the AR2's and put in an unhacked harness too. I just spent a few hours tonight pulling all the socketed chips and cleaning the legs from row 6-9 on the CPU, just have rows 12, 3 and 4 left. Then im onto the Video board. lol, right now it doesnt boot, its a garbled screen like one of the initial boot junk screens but it stays there. The CPU test points are getting 4.91v so the board is solid for power at least. Once i done cleaning chips i may have to get a logic probe like you have and learn how to use it. Im thinking i need to learn where the boot circuit is on the board, is it the watchdog circuit that initiats boot do you think? I ask because you seemed to start there when Asteroids doesnt boot when repairing.
Thanks,

I dont see it on your website, but do you still have this?? I am dying to find a I or II

Pole Position II is harder, depending on the track. Suzuka probably has the most turns of any track, so it’s certainly the most difficult, but the test track is the easiest of all. It has the fewest turns of any Pole Position track, Fuji included.
