    Ice Cold Beer Wanted

    My 31 year old son would love to have one of these. I prefer it's at least complete in parts and better still if it's fully functional. Cosmetic issues can be discussed. Thanks!

    When you wake up from a dream...

    For decades, I've been wanting to add one more arcade game to my collection. It's the last one I've really wanted to make my collection complete. It's a crane game, made either by Chicago Coin (Steam Shovel) in the 1950's or the very similar one made by Williams (Crane). I found this one on...

    Christmas, arcade updates, and a still.

    Yo friends. I've been pretty scarce around here lately. So here's an update: 1. My wife loves me. For Christmas, she bought me the side/front art for my 2nd Pac-Man restoration. Thanks Darin! There are photos below that show the typical Pac crack & darkening routine. Paint just doesn't like...

    What became of TwinGalaxies?

    I tried yesterday to check some "World's Record" arcade game scores and their site http://twingalaxies.com was down. It's still down today. I apologize if I missed a post about that here but my search didn't come up with anything. Anybody know what's up? Just curious.

    FINALLY... broke 300K on DK tonight.

    Man, I had been stuck at a high score of 276,000 for almost 2 months. Donkey Kong can be so cruel--twice in the last week I had gotten to 200,000 with three lives left. Then I got hammered to death with wild barrels and didn't even break 250,000. Tonight was looking like it was going to be the...

    Gorgar Playfield

    I decided that somebody else probably needs this Gorgar Playfield more than I do. I wanted to give the guys at this site first crack at it before I put it on Ebay. It's in really good shape--very little of the screened graphics missing (see 3rd photo). A few of the coils and such are missing...

    Best Soldering Gun Ever Made?

    As a sure sign that I'm getting older, certain things made decades ago just seemed to be better. I grew up in the 60's with electronics as a hobby. I soldered together countless projects, Heath Kits, and Knight Kits. I had a soldering gun back then that I used for most things--a Wen #100. It...

    Help! Donkey Kong suddenly dead...

    Drat. I just finished restoring this original Donkey Kong and it was working great. Then when I powered it up today--nothing. No video, game play, or audio. When on, I can hear a faint hum from the power supply-it has power. There's no glow from the back of the CRT and the 300 ma fuse on the...

    My Pac-Man trick patterns

    I thought some of you might enjoy these original "trick" patterns for the original Pac-Man arcade game. All three grab all the points available and two feature live ghost run-thrus: jxRmTzPlXtc 7sXbgPZws9w U_qM3pZRdb4 Eventually I'll get all my remaining patterns up. Eventually. Feel free to...

    Donkey Kong Restoration

    I've been collecting and restoring classic arcade games for years now but only recently joined this great site. My latest project was an "over-restore" of an original Donkey Kong. This one was pretty straightforward because the game wasn't really in bad shape to begin with. This is not a...
