Gauging Interest - Philly area repair party/gathering

A while back I hosted a repair party (mainly for monitors) that despite the conditions, went well. Is anyone interested in having another one, this time in a heated environment with facilities available ;-)

Update: (Re)Scheduling this for Sunday, March 18th, 11am!

I'd be up for one. Not much to cap this time around.. maybe an ez-20, unless you want to work on a Sys 80 driver board:) But I could help with some of the newer folks. Hang out.. talk, drink, play games. You having it in the garage or house? Fill that garage up yet?
 
I don't think I have anything to cap, but I'm always up for hanging out, chatting and playing :)
 
I've met a few of the Philly/NJ guys, but not all of them. My schedule sucks though, and working every Saturday is why I haven't been at places like Crabtown. I'll be in Harrisburg this weekend for a motocross/car show (www.motoramaevents.com), but I interested in any get together you schedule!

Incredibly, everything I have is working right now. Just added a vector to the lineup, so I'm waiting for my luck to run out. ;)
 
I'd be interested, but the 25th is out. Will be in Hershey to watch a hockey game. If it goes to another day, maybe I can make it.
 
Actually I did find something I could use a quick hand with, very quick few minute fix I think for some, not for me lol. I would trade beer for the help at this gathering :)
 
I'm In!!!

You know I will be there!

I have 2-3 some monitors needing help and 2 that are dead right now. I'd love to end up with 3 good ones, 1 spare and the 5th one can go to one of you guys...

if you are going and need any of the following I can bring:
Carnival board (needs work but clean board)
Pole Position parts - everything but the cab & mpu boards.
Twin Eagle - working jamma board, bezel, marquee
19" BW vector tube - no boards, tube works

Look forward to seeing you guys!

PS: Perhaps if we all bang our heads together really hard maybe my Omega Race will decide to work too!
:0)
 
Jeff,
I'm marking the calendar right now.
Can't wait to see the NEW Madman arcade!
Did you get that Tempest running yet?
Is anyone who is coming good with wiring/molex/control panels? I'm having trouble with my Frogger (damn frog only moves down and right!) and my kids would love to have it working.

I'm interested in this as well! It would be cool meeting more people around here and a good learning experience too. Also, I have a 20EZ that needs a recap. I have Centipede and Millipede PCBs that have issues that maybe someone can help me with.

How about Sunday the 26th? I know its a Sunday and all but some things came up that I think are gonna prevent both the 25th and the 3rd.
 
I could probably do that maybe we can work on my Missile command board LOL. :D I also have a donkey kong cabaret with a dead monitor we can mess with I can bring the whole damn cabinet with me its pissing me off, I can let some of you guys mess with it. I just need to locate a new flyback and a cap kit for it if anyone knows where I can find the stuff let me know. I also have a Centipede PCB that took a crap on me and piles of dead monitors 13" and 19". lots of fun stuff I can provide for the party if needed LOL. I also have tons of parts I can bring if we need them IC's, caps, resistors, ECT. I have spare control panels and other stuff I'm always up for trading stuff.
