    WTB: Team Play Centi/Milli/MC/LGB PCB

    Wanting a fully working PCB with Centipede/Millipede/Missile Command/Let's Go Bowling. I've got one with some bizarre issues and would rather swap PCBs rather than deal with it. PM me with a price if you've got one. Thanks!

    Most Annoying Cabinet To Work On

    Seconded. I dunno if it was a knockoff, but I worked on a Z-back style cabinet not long ago that had literally no access from the back. Only way to do anything with the monitor was to unbolt it and remove it entirely from the front. There was no back panel. The entire back was one solid piece...

    Anyone Use a Robot Vacuum in their Arcade?

    Only got one cabinet that could really take a hit, but I've had two different robots over the last couple years and I just checked and there's not a single noticeable scuff.

    Do you correct non arcade game owners?

    Not typically. If I did, it's all I'd do all day. People come up with some interesting terms for things they don't know, particularly on pinball machines. "Flappers" is the one I hear most often. "I think the bulb is out on the monitor" is a joke some of you make, but I have heard it dozens of...

    What’s One Arcade Game You Regret Selling or Passing On?

    I have had dozens, if not hundreds of pinball machines pass through my hands over the years through the course of regular business. Pinball was always scarce growing up so the majority of the ones I get are my first time experiencing them. I'll play them a few times as part of the testing...

    Question about what we consider restored

    Not a chance. I'd use a can of black spray paint over all the mouse poop so you'd never even know it was there!

    Question about what we consider restored

    I always figured that "shopped out" meant "I took a shop vac to it" but even in this case, that didn't happen

    Always fun when a newbie starts acting like a veteran

    I'll still be doing this in 20 years, and it doesn't sound far-fetched for that to be a going rate in 2045 for a CRT repair

    Always fun when a newbie starts acting like a veteran

    I've been working on machines for over 22 years, first in arcades as a job, then opening my own repair shop 12 years ago. I will be the first to admit that at any given time, there's a fair chance I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I make TikTok videos of my repairs (with a decent following...

    What vehicle do you transport games with?

    Yeah. I'm not going over the weight limit for the truck, so that's not really a concern. I just don't want the heaviest games at the rear, as that will do a number on my poor shocks. I'll hit the ground and see sparks on any bump if I load like that.

    What vehicle do you transport games with?

    Dodge Ram 1500, extended bed, liftgate. Can easily move 6 typical size uprights, 2 x 2 x 2. Just gotta make sure I put the two thinnest ones in the middle to fit between the wheel wells, and the heaviest two in first to help with weight distribution. If I've also got a couple of really light...
