Endrians First MAME Cab?

[shardian]

Well I assume he lives in New York since the address he gave me for his Uncle is in New York.

Anyways, I wrote a letter to his dad, I assume. He had a note on his youtube channel to "Check out my dad's channel (insert dad's youtube account here)".

Lastly, eff Michael Jackson for making it awkward to help a kid out. Even though I like his music, he's a piece of crap in my book for casting a huge shadow over childhood in general...

None of us are local and the motives are clearly laid out here, point the parents towards this thread if they have any ?'s. It's not just MJ it's just the US in general. I try to help people out with this hobby all the time and get snubbed. I usually offer to be nice once and if it falls through...oh well. It would be awesome if we got together enough stuff to get this kid moving along. And hey I made it from cardboard boxes to being a currently recovering engineer...(however I did meet with the haptic feedback guys this am and geeked out for a while, such cool toys!!!)

 

[armi0024]

haha, ok, bad idea

 

[gozer5454]

well hopefully this kid starts off in the right direction with some helpful guidance. Who knows maybe all this tinkering will launch him into a career of Electrical applications or something.

Bob Ross? Awesome.

A Chuck Norris one would take the cake.

 

[gozer5454]

So true. I actually like Jawhns alot. I cracked up when you made yours, but when he put his JAWS shark on the headshot, I died laughing.

I was hoping someone would get a kick out of that...

Just watched the video. That's really cool!

 

[Ghostlyguy]

Hehe not trying to make fun of him but thats just cute. Hopefully one day that kid will have a chance to play a classic. For his age thats actually pretty creative. good stuff their.

by the way those avatars you guys photoshopped I got a good laugh out of.

The only guy who can do a wheelie with a unicycle.

Got a response from the Dad.

Hi shardian,
Thank you for your concern. Yes My son and I have talked about the parts and I thought it would be ok to send it to his Uncle's house. He is truly excited about the support your team is given and I wish to extend my Thanks to you. I will fwd him the web site you have posted.

I was thinking of buy him an arcade Shell cabinet for his Bday so I'm sure the parts will work great whit this empty cabinet. He Truley loves building clasic games and he talks about it every day.

Again Thank you for your concern and e-mail and you have my permission to send any parts to the address he has provided.

-Mike

If your local to the Long Island, NYC area and want to help, contact the dad through his youtube channel.

I probably have less than you do... I keep waiting but the donations aren't coming in very fast...!!

 

[shardian]

I'd be happy to send you a Jakk's Pacman multigame, Josie!

 

[josie]

Never heard of the "Jakk's Pacman" before... I know what a multigame is of course... there are no games here in Montana as you know because Taco and DJW90 took them all... but what is that... that evil grin makes me wonder...

Oh, and would I have to wear a Phet shirt in order to get one?

I probably have less than you do... I keep waiting but the donations aren't coming in very fast...!!

I was kidding. To me it's about quality not quantity. I do have a pretty sorry list. The worst of the bunch is a Sega Holloseum that is in good condition and works great. However, I can't even give this thing away. Please help me somebody!!

I am so happy this kid got a cab! Even I'm jealous of that thing! It must have been like Christmas for him.
