    Pac-Man themed Tiki Mug

    I thought I would share this new addition to my collection that some of you might enjoy. My hobby, other than games, involves collecting tiki mugs and other Polynesian collectibles and generally enjoying the tiki life style. Just like Arcade collecting there is a very large community, with...

    1st NEW screened Pac cocktail glass in 30 years?!?

    I had to share my exciting (for me anyways) new addition. I am guessing this is the first new piece of screened Pac-Man cocktail glass since the originals were made. First off, full disclosure: the table is obviously not an original Pac-Man cocktail. It is simply a Pac-like Multigame that was...

    Interesting piece of TRON viral marketing

    I figured I would share this promotional piece I got in the mail today. It is a post card of the "flyer" for one of the fictional games Kevin Flynn designed for ENCOM. You can't see the marks in the pic because it's black on black, but there is some kind of punch code strip on the back...

    Where to buy STERN "Tournament play" sign hinges??

    Where to buy STERN "Tournament play" sign hinges?? I am looking for the STERN "Tournament play" sign hinges, not the new "L" shaped brackets that have replaced them. I just want to be able to fold the sign down so I can put my Pinwest cover on easily. I can only find the hinges listed at Bay...

    What type of paints were used on cabs in the 80's

    There are always plenty of questions and answers around here about what type of paint to use when restoring a cabinet, but I was wondering; what type of paint was generally used on the cabinets originally? I’m looking at a Joust that has one VERY good side with some very minor scratches at the...

    An idea for home arcades with unfinished walls

    I was in a party supply store this weekend and I found something that migh make a great decoration for folks that have their game rooms in an unfinished basement, garage or maybe even if you don't want to paint your walls. The items are called Room Rolls or Scene Setters and are made by a...

    A different kind of Flynn's visit

    Yesterday I posted pics of my visit to the promotional Flynn’s arcade that Disney had set up in San Diego. I decided to take one more trip later that day to make my TRON/Flynn’s experience complete. There is a finer restaurant a few miles south of my work that I have been meaning to visit for...

    Anyone know where to get the correct size molex conector for the JROK multi boards extra buttons? I looks to be a smaller version of the standard monitor molex but I can't find one that small. Thanks for any help.

    Cool arcade find for SoCal folks

    For all you SoCal'ers... There is a Tilt arcade that still operates in the Laguna Hills Mall. Back in the day, it was in a different location in the same mall and was just an excellent example of a mall arcade. These days it is in the back corner of the food court and has the normal few...

    Endangered species in the wild

    I just came back from a trip to Florida and thought I would share some pics from Disney Quest over there. I don't have any thing like a Funspot or Ground Kontrol in my neck of the woods so it was quite a treat to see so many classics on location. I really enjoyed seeing a working Lunar Lander...

    New acquisition and a Multipede question...

    I picked up a Millipede this week. It’s in pretty good condition, maybe a B grade but I should be able to get it to an A. With some careful corner repairs and touch up painting I should even be able to save all the original art. Oh yea, and I’ll get that yellow T-molding and button back to the...

    Best place to buy a restored classic?

    So I am defiantly of the opinion that the best way to restore a game is to do it yourself. I do love the cabinets I have restored. No one else will put the time and attention to detail to get a machine back to that “right off the assembly line” feels that an exacting owner will. Every time...
