While I agree that a statement of 30 hours has given in to hyperbole, you must factor in the return trip. I live outside San Antonio. Below are the list of drives, including return trip, that I would face on pickups: El Paso = 16 hours Lubbock = 12 hours Amarillo = 16 hours Dallas = 8 hours...

That's a pretty crappy neighborhood in my opinion. About what I would expect from a credit card thief.

So, we're buying a new house and we went into a house recently with a little coin op kiddie right carousel horse thing. My wife went crazy, she things it's the most amazing thing ever. So, now she wants me to buy her one. We don't know what she wants exactly, but we're entertaining all...

Also very sorry I missed it. Definitely would have looked great next to my DE pinball.

I have to second ThunderBunny here. Heat gun at Lowe's is about $12. Get it right up by the vinyl just until it starts to pucker and then scrape it right off. Works on about 3-4 square inches at a time. Can easily do one side in an hour or two. Stay away from chemical strippers. Also, be...

Have you looked into any type of media blasting? I have a friend that has dome some fantastic work on old plaster with dry ice blasting. Very delicate. Don't know much about it, just throwing it out there.

My bad, did not read fully.

Welcome to the boards Nelson. There's a really big group of guys in North Texas. Once you get more posts, the Texas specific board should be open to you.

I usually get mine from GroovyGameGear, just because they ship pretty quickly. $1.20 there for the basic pushbutton.

Thanks for the input guys. This would be my first Nintendo machine.

Have a shot at a good looking donkey kong cab. It's monitor and blue paint looks great. Straight all around. Needs CPO, side art and Marquee but has bezel. Also needs a boardset. Has a Super Mario Bros in it now. Not sure how that's wired. Thoughts? Deal is at $250, needs about $250 more in work.

I'd love to find one in my neighborhood for $1500. I've been looking seriously for 2 years and nothing to be excited about in a long time.

Roadkill is apparently not of that mindset. He sent me a positively disgusting and horrible PM. Didn't know adults really said that sort of thing to other adults. Honestly, haven't been back on boards since I got it. Don't need to deal with that sort of harassment.

Not serious. I was joking with Raidens dad a couple week ago when I went to look at the machine that he had to help move the machine because Raiden is injured. And because the machine was upstairs. I hate carrying thing downstairs. I bought a police trainer last week and the guy lived in the...

Oh, Oh WOW! Just found this on ebay. Maybe I'll restore it? Thinks this hand-painted marquee is worth it? HA! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Midway-SPY-HUNTER-II-Arcade-Video-Game-Original-Header-Artwork-/110892800970 EDIT: In fact, I may just buy this persons entire stock of arcade memorabilia...
