Location test had the machine at 6 credits (roughly a dollar fifty), took me around 8 minutes to finish a stage on three credits. Once I finished the stage, it let me go to the other one that was ready.

Since I'm the guy who took all the pictures and wrote up the impressions, I'm pretty qualified to tell you you're nuts about wanting it to be bigger. Unless you're talking about the control panel being wider and adding more depth to the overall machine. Then I totally agree with you. In the...

My group (Credits Remaining) has been lightly contacted by some tertiary people about bringing equipment out. We've never actually made contact with anyone officially involved with the arcade in the past for three reasons: 1. We try to not go any further east than Ohio. Transit costs tend...

I realize this isn't exactly generating revenue for you directly, but another option you can go with is to talk with your player base and see if any of them have arcade games they'd be willing to locate with you on free play for some amount of store credit per month. I have four machines at the...

Post some pictures of this Frankenstein.

No disagreement with you at all on that. Most older games don't look right on LCD's, and it's mostly the fault of the screen. I can just speak from experience that when you're loading down Penske trucks for quick 2-4 day locations, cutting ANY weight from a machine is a godsend.

I ONLY dread what's going to happen with light gun games when CRT's become prohibitively expensive/difficult to source or repair. Specifically older earners like House of the Dead and Time Crisis 2. Because of how often I move equipment, I'm of the opinion that if it's not a light gun game it...

Last night: Swapped K7000 monitors in my Super SF2 Turbo cabinet (original one lost red) Tested a Marvel Vs Capcom board to make sure it was still working Drilled out free play buttons for Ninja Baseball Bat Man (not hooked up, waiting for .110 qd's) Installed a new isolation xformer and...

This is very true. I dropped one in for a weekend at Anime Central at a quarter for two lives and it ended up fourth behind House of the Dead, Time Crisis 2, and NeonFM... ...with the free play buttons enabled for more than half of it's operational time.

Have one in the warehouse, used to have two. No point in keeping two so we sold one off. Incidentally Ballz, the warehouse is in Crest Hill.

C/P from people who went to check pins last night: "I went and checked out the pins last night.... many are missing DMD board, missing plastics, missing balls.... most didn't play well if at all, but the did let me open up a few and inspect with flashlight." This may end up being a blood bath.

This auction has garnered some attention on the facebook midwest arcade/pinball collectors group, and the midwest music gaming group (because of the DDR's). I've spoken with a few ex-employees at one of the former West Dundee Replay location and they desicribed the equipment as "held together...

Yeah, the Chicago area craiglist is crammed full of flippers, garage builders, and one d-bag operator in Niles* slapping up overpriced crap. I have sixteen additional filters to remove the chaff. *If it's the same guy I and other's have had to deal with, the he does one of two things: Baits...

Interested in seeing pictures.

I'll give you a call tomorrow after 5PM.

Got any other pictures of it? Working?

Is that Time Crisis II a double unit or single unit?

The store is between Lidz and GNC in the wing that has TGI Friday's and Panera at the exit end.

I mentioned what type of cabinet because it actually does matter. If you have a SD (DDR styled marquee), DX (huge and originally had a rear projection monitor, or SX v1 (two coin doors one subwoofer) you may already have the cable you need. It'll have a white connection with points for three...

We're working with them on getting a Facebook page set up, and I'll see about getting you some pictures of the arcade next time I'm in. (Likely tomorrow) They're an enthusiastic bunch, but inexperienced.
