I've been nabbing games off Jeff for several years (15-20?). Right now I just don't have any room for more stuff. I was supposed to head up and nab that B.O.T.S.S. but haven't been able to make it up there. Yeah, I've gotten stuff off him super cheap, he gave me a bunch of project cabs one time...

So a year or two ago I picked up a Bally Sente Mini Golf off a friend for 100 bucks. Read up on it, found the swappable rom board thing kind of cool, got a few off Ebay, but never managed to acquire any other control panels. Found a game or two that would work with the Mini Golf control panel...

After a really crappy last two months (work-related problems) I finally got the Slide-It hard drive and made a CHD of it, then uploaded it to a page. I have absolutely no idea if it'll work on a Slide-It after being extracted to a hard drive, I can't test it in mine because it ended up in...

Picked up a Pong around '94 or so, around '99 I moved it and when I turned it on the monitor didn't work. Ignored it for a while (I mean, it's PONG), now I have an urge to mess with it and get it working. Sooo, what does the problem look like going by the pic? I can see some movement on the...

Gah, that asteroid field. What a horrible level. Now all I do when I play it is try and see how many AT-AT legs I can fly thru to rack up the score. Hrm, I wonder what level they could've done instead of the asteroid field. I remember installing that clay ESB kit on my Star Wars machine and...

I got the PM and emailed him.

I got a Slide-It arcade off a friend, he said the machine was dead. I goofed with it and came to discover that the 3.6v battery on the mobo had died, which was causing the PC to reset to defaults and when it was booting it was halting on all errors, so no keyboard meant it wouldn't boot. There's...

Plus the older you get the heavier the games become, hah. I used to pull games up the steps by myself no problem, now I'm like 'Hmm, I better find fourteen friends to help me move this up that one step'.

So I like the oddball and somewhat uncommon games, saw a Fighting Bujutsu board on ebay, bid, went to work, forgot about the auction, lost it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110893767912 I figure it didn't work and it would be a chore to rig it up, but I found the wiring...

I was given two San Franciso Rush The Rock cabs, been piecing together parts (main PCBs) to put them back together, poking around the wiring, on one of the cabs I noticed an odd switch placed in between the auxilary wiring that runs from the main PCB to the sound board, it's like a 4 position...

Here's what I got out of this thread - my stats Join Date 04-19-2003 Total Posts 18 Damn, some of you have been on here for just a year or two and have THOUSANDS of posts. I have eighteen since joining in 2003. Eighteen. Damn. Um, sorry if this is irrelevant, it's just what I...

It gets a little bit cheaper every year or so. It's down to 495 bucks! "What a bargain!" http://www.ebay.com/itm/1983-Atari-Star-Wars-Stand-Up-Arcade-lounge-Chair-/170830627401

Ooo, the mythical (and apparently unsellable) Star Wars chair!!! That phone is so damn tempting....

So am I the only one to find one sitting by a dumpster for free? Was missing the main pcb, but aw well, what do ya expect for free?

A friend of mine had a cousin who was a huge Ted Nugent fan and bought a Nugent pinball somewhere about 20 years ago. The cousing had a bad marriage, alcoholism (ran in the family), then committed suicide in '03 or so. The pin was given to the sister of the deceased, she stuck it in a small...

So an operator gave me a few machines, two of them were San Franciso Rush Alcatraz Ed cabs. Missing monitors and main PCBs, the machines are nothing super special, but I figured I'd try and put them back together. The main PCBs don't pop up on Ebay much, and the one I've seen a few times has...

I can't remember, it was either a Gorf for 25 bucks (had a bad wire connection, fired right up after I fixed it) or a Battlezone for 50 bucks, both around 1990. If I lean hard on my memories I _think_ the Battlezone was first. Maybe.

EDOT. The last one I saw was in an arcade about 13 years ago, I was like "YES!" and when I got up to it found it had been converted to a Choplifter. To this day you can still hear my scream of "NOOOOOOOO!" echoing around that old amusement park. Any Virtual On would be cool. A Cyber...

Planet Harriers always gets non-gamer people playing, maybe because it's such a behemoth and turned up way too loud, hah. Like moths to a flame, they are.

Free can occasionally be really cool. This was sitting by a dumpster, a friend called and told me about it, I sped over and grabbed it. Missing the original PCB so I wired up (without hacking anything) a JAMMA harness and put a 60-in-1 PCB in it.
