I picked up a Valley Cougar Darts at a huge arcade sale a few years ago. The operator was clearing out his warehouse and was giving his dart machines away for free as no one wants dart machines in their place in Utah as there are not many bars anymore. I grabbed one. Worked perfectly when I got...
I built a Starfighter MAME cab back in early 2000 on BYOAC. It doesn't look anything like this as it is 4 player, but it looks good for my first project ever. I created the Starfighter font for my cab and was asked if it could be used in this game so I released it. I think I am in the credits...

I just got home today and was able to take a look at it. It seems complete...
I had a big claw machine for a little while. I called Sega Amusements and talked to them about pricing on plush animals to fill my machine. They sent me a box full of plush animals for free so I could see how nicely they were made. It was a bunch of Pirate of the Caribbean plushies too.
I took...
Where's the best place to get 5k ohm trimming pots? I have looked and can't find the exact pots I need for an XM-2001. Anyone know where I can get one?
