    ...Lurker alert...

    Howdy, folks! It's been a few years since I've been around, and what a journey it's been. Stopped picking up cabs after #11, still have everything, probably about the same level of completion with regard to restorations. Recently got married to the most amazing woman ever, she plays fiddle in...

    ROM burner question

    Hey all... Talking to a fellow that has an older ROM burner and some chips he's looking to get rid of. Acquiring one of these has been a long-term thing on my 'bucket list' - but something I honestly know little to nothing about. It's an older unit, designed to interface with a PC through...

    Is this a good deal?

    Ran across this on eBay... :D

    Need to add a noise filter on an NES mod...

    y_PxwZTpW1M This is my second attempt at this, the first was on a different console, years ago, using separate LEDs (taken from one of those light-up pens that changed colors.) Encountered the same problem both times, however. During gameplay, there is a low-volume, high pitch, electronic...

    <FS> $200 "Crime Fighters" cab (Boerne, TX)

    <FS> $200 "Crime Fighters" cab (Boerne, TX) Not mine, but browsing Craigslist and came across this listing, seemed like a good deal if it's in decent shape. Haven't seen it in person, but hopefully it's in the 4-player cab. Would make a nice addition, but I just don't have the room.

    At long last... Space Invaders Deluxe project approaches completion!

    At long last... Space Invaders Deluxe project approaches completion! OK, truth be told, I've not been 'in the scene' for quite some time lately, but a recent excursion into cleaning the garage out has made for my simple repair a foreseeable reality! For years, I would brush by the SID cab...

    FA: Listing misc. items this week...

    I'm putting several things up on ebay this week... Right now I've got a couple things listed, a pair of Shure E3c earbuds (unopened), and a Shure BG 3.1 pro microphone. I'll be adding an mp3 CD player, some new sneakers soon (Reebok, Wilson, Prince, varying sizes, mens and womens), and a few...

    Baby Pac start buttons - original or not?

    When I look at the arcade flyers, it shows the Baby Pac with 1P/2P start buttons that look like the buttons on the Pac/Ms. Pac coctails - but the ones on my CP are almost identical to the Atari start buttons (except for what seems to be aluminum instead of black plastic on the housing.) I'm...

    Cap kit on G07-FBO - now screen is worse?

    Just did a cap kit on my 13" G07-FBO chassis, and after reassembling it, the screen isn't as bright as it was before. Colors are better, however, turning the 'screen' control all the way up on the flyback just makes it look washed-out. I resoldered the video input leads on the board, and...

    Get ready to LOATHE me... (Holy Grail acquired!)

    This should make a really neat MAME cabinet, eh? Found it on Craigslist, listed as 'monitor not working' - a few days passed, and after rearranging my house (something I was already in the process of doing), I started thinking, "Y'kno..." So, I emailed the guy this morning, he called me...

    Finally bought a PCB I've been wanting for years..

    Finally bought a PCB I\'ve been wanting for years.. BATTLETOADS!!! I'll admit, I probably browse eBay about once every two weeks or so for boards, but I NEVER f'n see this one for sale, and it's one of the JAMMA boards I had the most fun with at the arcade. I saw this one with no bids and a...

    JAMMA cab getting kinda cramped... Ideas?

    Won a few ebay auctions, so far I can play P.O.W., Super Dodge Ball, Tetris, Final Fight, and as soon as it arrives, Ninja Gaiden... Any suggestions on a *cheap* way that I can easily switch between boards via some sort of board that houses all the PCBs? I seem to remember talk once of a setup...

    Spies Arcade manuals?

    Does anyone know if there is a mirror site still working for the Spies Arcade manual page? Damn, all my old bookmarks are dead and google isn't much help... (or is there a new site for manuals?)

    Gone JAMMA crazy...

    Trying to get back into playing my arcades, but the only one that's really 'accessible' right now (been moving [censored] around) is my POW cabinet. So, I scored a Super Dodge Ball PCB, should be coming in the mail soon, and I'm in the process of bidding on another board. I'm really glad I...

    Expanding my horizons...

    Just what I need... Another project... My very own Pachinko machine! Haven't messed with it yet, other than plugging it in and straightening a bent leaf switch so that it lights up and shows some signs of life - I saw it and had to snag it... Now if I only had some balls...

    Look what I talked a customer out of at work today

    This lady was buying a stinkload of toys (mostly plush animals/etc), and as I was stuffing them into one of our large trash bags for her to take home, I found myself digging to get one of them back out... Has anyone ever seen this before? It looks like it might be from back in the 80's, as...

    Monster Jam Pix

    Went to the Monster Jam today, it was my first time at a monster truck show - I must say, I had a blast! It was loud, they were blaring heavy metal between trucks, and they had beer there (I didn't get any, though - $5.50 for a 12-16 oz *plastic* bottle of Bud/Bud Light and Miller Lite just...

    Just scored 2 FREE Defenders!!

    Ok... So I'm at work, and a customer that I don't even remember asks me, "Aren't you the guy that likes those old arcade games?" My crummy day turned into bliss at the blink of an eye... He told me that he was driving in a nearby neighborhood yesterday (less than a mile away), and he saw two...
