Sorry if this is in the wrong place, wasn't sure where to post a "who's nearby me" type thread.

I know next-to-nothing about arcade cabs but always had a (pipe) dream of running my own retro arcade/bar/hangout. I mostly collect NES games, but picked up a broken Aero Fighters cabinet that seemed fun to fix up and have in my game room, which is how I ended up on this forum.

Anyway, I'm in Morgantown, WV and just curious if anyone else is in the WV/Morgantown/Pittsburgh area?

Welcome to KLOV

I am not real close to you as I am in Maryland Eastern Shore. Take some time and look at the stickies at the top of most sections of the forms. Ask questions and do searches. You will notice the blue bar above has a search it is the 3rd from the right.

I think Buffet lives closer to you and can help you if you have monitor problems.

Many times we will ask for pics of what you are talking about, you know a picture is worth a 1,000 words.

Don't feel too bad, I know little about cabs and am learning each day. I did not know what an AR board was till I got on the forms here. Try to post the monitor stuff and tech stuff in the proper forms and if you make a mistake they will usually move the post for ya.

Hey kb0jjn, thanks for the info. I've been reading around a bit and trying to absorb what little I can. I've actually already talked to Buffett, he's fixing up a broken chassis on my Aero Fighters cab, which was way beyond my ability.

I think I'm gonna have to go check out Pittsburgh and see if there are any decent arcades still in business. There's one in Morgantown, but it's all flashy lights and kids token games, no actual video games in the entire place :(.

EDIT: Hey gabesdad, sorry, was typing when you posted. Good to hear there are a few other people in WV! I actually lived in Beckley a couple of years ago, so was right by you. And I moved from Clarksburg to Morgantown a few months ago, so I've probably been nearby everybody at some point.

There is one we just had a meet at but it is in Maryland. Crab Town and is located in Glen Burnie, MD.

EDIT: here is the thread about it

Several guys in Huntington as well. I am just up in Buffalo, not far from you.

Check www.wvarcade.com for our smaller group, also "Tri-State Arade & Pinball" on Facebook.

BTW, I have a dedicated Frontline for sale for $350!!! Close enough for pickup

I'm glad people are close that share the love for videos and pins. I have made plans to go to Louisville,KY tomorrow for the Expo and warehouse sale. If I don't find anything that interests me i will let u know on the Front Line. It is definitely in my price range as of right now.I'll also check out your website and Facebook pages.
