    Centipede Cabaret Qs

    I hear ya... A friend of mine that lived in Windsor, ON moved into a new house there and found 2 old arcade cabinets stored under the front porch. Robotron and Joust cocktails. Yep. My buddy brought them back over to me and asked if I could "restore" them. Man, I wish I had pictures of what...

    Centipede Cabaret Qs

    Oh, a transplant. Nicely done, not many folks would take the time (or have the know-how) to do that. Building a replica cabinet from scratch isn't super easy, and takes a bit of time. I've only done a couple that way. Very well done!

    Centipede Cabaret Qs

    I am a sucker for wood grain Atari. Not sure where that love comes from... Sunnyvale heavy, front & center. :)

    Centipede Cabaret Qs

    Centipede is endlessly more fun than a shooter like Sky Shark. I may be the only person left alive that actually prefers the wood grain Atari cabaret cabinets...

    Midway Space Invaders Gel Overlay Inquiry

    Oh, got it. I always forget about the OG SI Midway overlays. When I think of the monitor gels, I think SI Deluxe. Good luck on your hunt!

    No, the PITA started when you brought that first game home, with that gleam in your eye.....

    Biscuit Joiner

    TL - DR... Biscuits are used for fine alignment and cabinet work. Very little strength, really only rely on the glue planes. Pocket hole screws are used for strength and have a significant mechanical advantage. For arcade cabinet applications, I can't imagine a situation where a biscuit...

    How would you like to wait almost 2 months for this?

    Don't give me that much credit, I am not Bob Dylan here... Perhaps just the last syllable rhymes?? IDK, I'm guessing, too?? But only a few peeps out there are selling MP CP's. And I know there is usually a 2+ months backlog. Regardless, if QA is still selling the same quality MP CP's that I...

    How would you like to wait almost 2 months for this?

    Hi Drew, Yes, definitely textured... No mashed potato here. I left the clamps on with the hold down bars for about 24-48 hrs, over a weekend anyway. I did paint the metal cp with a white primer coat. Just rattle-can, probably Rustoleum, I'm sure. I didn't have the correct size dust washer...

    How would you like to wait almost 2 months for this?

    Where did you get yours? I installed a MP upper CP overlay on mine a few years ago (2022). No complaints, every bit equal to OEM as far as I can tell. I do have to say that I bought mine several years ago (maybe 10+??), so I can't speak to current quality. But mine was perfect. Any...

    Pole Position #2: I knew better. 😫

    No kidding. Getting some of these boards like the JROK MW and some of the AJ boards are like trying to buy a Raspberry Pi during covid. You just have to check at the right time... Someone needs to create a McRibLocator.com style app for them. Lol. :)
