    FS Game: Tempest upright in Chandler, Arizona

    Fully working. Some cosmetic wear (see photos). Uses vector but also includes vector-2-vga components (not hooked up) for future-proofing. I'd rather not sell but funds have been tight lately, and I'm only a few grand away from being able to pay off my minivan, and with no car payment I can...

    I sold my only pin. For now.

    Well, I needed some funds and had a genuine cash offer on deck. Didn't make anything on it but didn't lose anything on it either, maybe an actual net loss two digits left of the decimal once you account for every last part and supply I put into it. Anyway, I had played my thousand hours of...

    Are any of you (Name redacted)

    This individual is trying to get me to take paypal on a local pickup for over $2k. I'm having difficulty explaining to him that it's no-go because paypal won't protect me from chargeback claims unless I ship the item. Even if the ebay auction allows local pickup. It has to be cash. (Trying...

    My first pin! LED & etc questions.

    It's not even here yet... I get to wait however long for the truck (which is fine because I got a good rate on shipping)... but of course now I'm all spun up to get it. I've had pins in my store before on the borrow, but never one for myself, to keeps, in my home. Of course, being who I am, I...

    Lost a family member today, coin-op related anecdote inside

    Lost a family member today, coin-op related anecdote inside My wife's grandfather passed today. He was over 90, dying of everything, and passed with his loved ones gathered around him, so it was as good a departure as I guess he could have hoped. We knew this was coming, but we always just...

    New build multicade saturation devaluing the hobby

    Not just another "nurrrr I hate Craigslist" thread. I'm browsing, ok fine I'm on Craigslist, but the point is, there are just SO MANY new build multicade vendors now. Mix in the retrofits and that's virtually all you can buy. All overpriced, virtually all bad in some way or another (either...

    Planning an arcade room: An unexpected gift from the wife! So, I mentioned in a recent thread that it's up to us to control our wives and assert our right to take part in this hobby, despite the fact that giant cabinets end up accumulating sometimes. My wife has been supportive inasmuch as...

    Anyone want to overpay for a Track & Field conversion project? This is at Bookman's in Tucson, AZ on Ina Rd, near Marana. They want $400. Observe that this unit did not leave the premises in my minivan. (If T&F were a grail for me, I can't prove that would not have happened.)
