Hey guys, new here.
Moving to a new house in a couple of weeks with a finished basement.
Always wanted a small arcade, just never had the room until now.
I'm not very savvy with the terminology and arcade repair, so please be patient as for half the abbreviations i see here i have no clue what they mean.
I own an electrical contracting business in NJ and my current main hobby is cars.
So i'm very mechanically inclined, but i don't have much electronics experience.
I guess my questions are:
Is the midway demolition derby a good place to start?
If it breaks what skill level is needed to repair it?
Parts availability?
Expert help to troubleshoot?
If i find one within a decent distance, what is the best way to transport it?
Fair market value?
I'm open to an upright or cocktail table.
But searches on this forum lead me to believe that for a beginner the upright may be a better start due to rarity of parts for the table.
Any reason i should steer clear of one of this machines?
I appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Joe
