    SOLD - GAME Primal Rage...NE Illinois, will have at MGC

    Works great, side art has dings but is unfaded, monitor looks fantastic. Just looking to free up some room in the basement. $500 [edit] I'll even set it upright when it's there. :)

    On the board for 2017!

    I know they aren't everyone's (anyone's?) cup of tea, but I love Atari pins. Headed out this morning for a 700+ mile round trip to the STL for this pretty beastie:

    Ebay horrors

    I'm used to having to pass up all this guy's ridiculously priced listings, but I think he's finally created his magnum opus. Check out this piece de resistance, for the low, low price of $5k...

    Pacman and Mario at the Olympics

    No, not the newest cheesy console crossover...they were both featured in Tokyo's preview for its 2020 games at the Closing ceremonies in Rio.

    I spent some time in the frame shop this morning

    I've been looking for something cool to do with a couple of Flynn's Arcade/ElecTRONica tokens a friend sent me a while back. I came up with this. I think I may mount some red EL tape on the back to give it a nice underglow effect in the arcade...

    Free stuff is awesome

    Wow. I had a half day at work today after an appointment at the cornea specialist (ugh), and needed to stop by the hardware store on the way home. Because I took a different route home, I spied a coin-op airplane ride on the side of the road. I spoke with the guy, and not only did he give...

    Metal Tempest sign

    Has anyone seen this metal sign before? It's the Atari Force style, and I've seen the posters, but this is a metal sign, around 11x14, that a friend of mine found behind a 1985 Bears Superbowl litho when the frame fell and broke. Exact same style as these posters...

    One for the wife

    After tolerating years of my collecting, the little lady finally picked up the one game today that she's been wanting from day one. Not a bad 19th anniversary present. :) Cleaning up nicely... Although it looks like this ribbon interconnect is going to cause me grief. It's making...

    School me on the PlayChoice

    I feel like I have to be missing something. Someone in one of the FB groups posted an eBay auction for a PC-10 that had been converted to a Neo Geo. I jokingly said it was better off as a Neo Geo, but I was also serious. I mean, it's an NES on a timer, right? Maybe it's an age thing, because...

    Marquee retaining strips

    Does anyone have a good source for these C channel strips that hold the marquee translights in the Midway Mortal Kombat style cabs?

    FS Game: Sprint 2 lot in IL

    Selling three Sprint 2 project cabs in various states of (in)completion. Three cabinets, two monitors, one board that likely needs some work. Neck glow on both monitors. My intention was to take the best stuff from the three and make one good machine, but have too many projects and not enough...

    MMAO - Game: Atari Sprint 1 project

    The missus has been out of work for a while so it's time to let a few of the projects go. I picked this up just to rescue the cab, as it appears it's a fairly scarce version of the cabinet. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on when or where this variant was built...some have called it an...

    MMAO - Game: Chicago Coin Demolition Derby project

    The missus has been out of work for a while so it's time to let a few of the projects go. This game is missing the 1P shifter and has the bezel from the upright cab but appears to be otherwise complete. Game doesn't power up although the monitor is getting juice. Someone has installed a...

    Weekend's pickup...$100 Mace

    I saw this one pop up on local CL. I was supposed to be on a Christmas-mandated acquisition moratorium, but he was only asking $150 for it, and it was about 5 miles from my house. I gave the wife the old puppy dog eyes and she said if he'd take $100 for it, I could grab it. By the time I got...

    This weekend's pickup...learning to live with change

    This weekend's pickup...learning to live with change I finally scratched an itch...I've always felt the game room was missing something. Having machines on free play is all well and good but I missed the feeling of actually having something on the line, a 25 cent investment every time a game...

    Sticky crap removal?

    Just wondering what the consensus is for what to use to remove sticky residue from cabinets/painted surfaces. I've got a "puffy" coin-per-play sticker on my Tron and years-old packing tape on a change machine that I need to get off but don't want to damage the paint.

    Gun Fight bezel/front glass

    Okay, for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the glass from the cabinet. How do I get the retaining trim pieces off?

    Sprint 1

    Somehow I've managed to attract a garage full of non-working b&w drivers. During my crusade to rescue these poor souls I came across this Sprint 1 that has me puzzled. Just about everything I see about the game refers to Sprint One, which is in a different cabinet. The one I have seems to be...

    B&W kind of day...

    Today's eBay wins...a $.99 Demolition Derby, a $.99 Sprint 2, and a $50 Sprint 2. Big thanks to Guru-420 for helping out!

    Poor Tapper...

    I've been trying to find a nice Neo Geo. This just makes me sad. http://annarbor.craigslist.org/gms/3850069929.html
