I pulled this out of one of my cabinets and wasn't sure if it would be meaningful to anyone. It's labeled IC Power Supply STK-TG003-M, and the PCB is labeled TG-002A. The cabinet was originally a Congorilla. Absolutely no idea if it works, but maybe someone needs it. Free, you pay the...

Anyone want a free Galaga cabinet? Flood damaged and a bit swollen and a bit moldy but probably pretty workable for some of you guys. PCB still inside, missing at least one chip (I think the one that the high score kit attached to). No idea if it works anymore. I was planning on putting out a...

Not sure if this has been posted here yet, but I came across this today. A band called The OneUps covered the classic Paperboy theme complete with a video of the game running in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1O0t4C0NXE&spfreload=10 Not bad! (How about the Spy Hunter theme...

Here's an arcade-related video that was featured on the Patch today. It's a quick snippet of Barnacle Bill's, an arcade/mini-golf place in Ortley Beach, NJ that was yet another victim of Sandy. Bummer seeing all those games like that...

I'm putting out a feeler here. This is NOT an official offer yet -- I'm still weighing my options, but I was curious if anyone in the NJ area might be interested in up to three free cabinets in Ocean Gate, NJ. My three games were damaged by flooding during Hurricane Sandy. The cabinets sat in...

Hey everyone. I've had my first flood experience -- my entire house got flooded during Hurricane Sandy, so my games spent some time sitting in a foot and a half of saltwater. Obviously, I know that water is bad news for cabs. I elevated them off the wet carpet as soon as I got back into my...

Here's some loot up for grabs in NJ. Free, but local pickup only in Ocean Gate, NJ*. I'm not sure if either of these particular models can be cannibalized for use as arcade monitors, but I thought I'd throw it up here just in case. If not, they work fine for their original purpose. 1. HP...

I'm sure Silverball Museum in Asbury Park, NJ has been mentioned here, but I'll add another thread to give them some extra props. Anyone else been there? I took my first trip there yesterday afternoon, and it was really great. I was really very impressed. All the machines were in really nice...

I don't even know what this thing is, but it's up for grabs if you want it. I pulled it out of a cabinet that was originally a Congorilla (I think the official brand is Falcon). It looks like an isolation transformer, but I think it's a little more than that. Meh, who knows. I don't care...

I recently finished my Galaga project, so I thought I'd share one of the more interesting parts of a fairly routine restoration. The glass bezel was pretty scratched up, and I was hoping to keep costs low and keep the machine original where possible. I picked up some Testor's model enamel...

Does anyone know if the Wizard of Wor control panel is the same size as the Galaga control panel? It looks similar size-wise, but I can't quite tell for sure.

Anyone want a Turtles in Time marquee? Free, but you pay the shipping. Looks pretty good from the front, but there are a couple small scratches. Maybe not great in backlit applications, but could be a nice enough wall hanger. http://www.robbeaton.com/tit/marquee1.jpg...

The agony of killing your remaining lives on a good game I play in a local bar band, and we play at this one homely tavern that has a small game room. I always play Galaga in between sets (it's a reunion cab). The high score is about 630,000, but they do have enabled continues (cheaters!), so...

Looks like it's no longer burger time around here -- my local Burgertime in the wild is gone! There's a small arcade near my house (Blackbeard's Cave in Bayville, NJ), and the secret gem there was a nice Burgertime. I liked to slip in there every now and then for a couple games. Those days...

Here's an arcade-related article from the Onion today. ZING! to all of us. (For anyone that doesn't know The Onion, take the story with a grain of salt and a good sense of humor.) http://www.theonion.com/content/opinion/would_that_i_had_someone?utm_source=b-section

What the frig!!! I turned on Galaga today, a day or two after my best game ever (700,000+ on Rank D), and noticed that all my high scores somehow got reset. Looks like I gave myself carpal tunnel syndrome on my shooting finger for nothing. Anyone else have this problem with the Galaga kit? I...

Anyone have a glass (or plastic, or whatever it is) Mr. Do's Castle marquee in the black style? I ordered a repro one from MAMEMarquees, and I'm just not really thrilled with it. It looks great by itself, but the black and red look really washed out when it's backlit. I saw a regular...

I heard an interview with Billy Corgan (of Smashing Pumpkins fame) on the way into work today. They mentioned how he's now a Guitar Hero character and asked him what his favorite arcade game is. Without hesitation, he said Donkey Kong, and then added that he's got Asteroids machine at home...

A trip to Richie Knucklez\' in NJ Here's a little plug for KLOV's very own Richie Knucklez: As chance would have it, I ended up attending a party at Richie Knucklez' arcade in Flemington, NJ last night. Richie's got a nice collection of games in great shape, and a good time was had by all. I...

I know there's been some discussion about jumping over the fence in 720, but has anyone ever flown over the brown fence in the ramp section? It just happened to me in MAME, but the timer ran out before I could really explore out there. I think it was just endless green ground anyway. (I tried...
