More interesting is that he can make injected molded plastic items!? That can be very useful for arcade collectors....

yes, we build about anything and everything. mostly we build things for the firearms industry but also do medical, electronics and novelty things. I have made a program for my CNC milling machine to cut Lunar Landar cut outs on asteroids control panels and made some other custom one off arcade parts and pin parts, not for income but for the love of the hobby. Im sure there are some parts worthy of being made and reproduced. Ive got a few ideas myself.

Nice 50 round magazines there! 
That Air Force 1 game is actually the arcade version of Raiden IV. There are a lot of cabinets like that in China where they put a good game into a generic cabinet with a different marquee. I've actually wanted Raiden IV for my own arcade, I have it on the 360 and it would be so much better to play with a vertical screen.
And Tank! Tank! Tank! is definitely worth a spin or two if you ever come across it.

I'm not sure why, but most of those games look like they were built by Play-Skol. Might be the big plastic buttons and the cheezy looking cartoon characters on them...
Just sayin....

Sweet! I will check this out next time I am there.
Here are some photos of some Hong Kong arcades I visited:

shenzhen arcade
OK found it, lots of games in there. Lots of Kiddie ticket machines and the place was crowded. All very new looking stuff and I saw SEGA and TAITO names. Lots of sit down drivers and gambling machines that spit out tickets. Million little kids in there so I didnt play much just walked around and took pictures. Kind of neat what they have done with flat panel tech on games and the touch screens. Saw Rambo games, Terminator, Mario Cart sit down drivers, Tekken 6, dance dance type stuff, full drum set machines, cycle, surf and fly games. Im not much into all the new things and drivers but still nice to see the technology.
Not 1 pinball in the whole place. they even had slot machines that spit out tickets.

Williams logo pop bumper caps like the ones on Space Shuttle. Not sure if it's ameniable to that technique or not, but man, I would buy them at 15$ a piece at this point, lol.
Oh, cool, maybe there's hope for super durable BattleZone sticks one of these days...
Cool pics; I'm surprised at all the games with English marquees and instructions...

There is a really decent restaurant in that mall, can't remember the name of it... Sounds stupid doesn't it?... there is literally a restaurant every where you look in Shenzhen... and even more where you can't see.

mall
Ya, nice mall, one of the nicer here for sure. reminded me of the american style malls. they had Macdonalds, KFC and Subway LOL. whole line of resturaunts of every type.
I liked the claw machine in the arcade that is a giant freezer and you can grab various ice cream bars, funny. If any one comes here go see "little china" its basicaly the whole country in miniature inside of a big park. all the countries sites and attractions to exact scale, water, mountains, great wall, forbidian city, teracota statue site, tibet, mongolia, temples, moutain buddas and all. real neat with traditional dancers and shows. I was there nearly the whole day. Lots of eye candy around in there too.....
Ive only been out to eat a few times, my hotel has free food and booze 3 times a day and its good so I have been sticking to it. Ive stayed away from the smaller gheto resturaunts and street foods.

Yup... That little China is pretty neat.
I stayed for 6 weeks just outside the free trade zone (5th gate... can't recall if that is it at the moment). We ate everywhere except street vendors. We also didn't go into one American restaurant the whole time we were there... I ate so much shit it was ridiculous... I tried everything. I got sick the first weekend we went out bar hopping... After about a day or two ... or three of the shits... all was returned to normal and no other issues.
