I've been given the chance to work on literally hundreds of arcade and pinball machines with only minor knowledge of the subject. Doing well so far where others could not, so I'm very hopeful. This forum has already been a massive help in my first really big problem that got me the job. I've learned so much already and can't wait to be another seasoned pro. I have access to a lot of games, some of which I know need images on here and I would love to supply them. Still getting settled in but I'm hopeful that I'll become fairly active here. The amount of love you all have for something that has meant a great deal to myself is amazing and I'm so glad I found this place.
 
Welcome! Please share photos of all of these games! Are they in a private collection or at a public location?
 
Hello. Shawn from OKC here. Where are you working and what about all these games you have access to?
I'm at CJ's. Already fixed two dead games and about 6 other games with minor issues. Slowly learning but my personal hobbies have lent very well to this. I build all my own computers, fix my arcade sticks for fighting games, have played Bemani games for 20 years, and just an over all love of problem solving. That and I know how to use a lot of tools. The first few games I was researching to fix I noticed didn't have any photos, such as Dirty Drivin' by Raw Thrills.
 
Welcome!!!

Did you say build computers! I hate building computers these days (game machines are still fun), did it from 1993 to 2005 where I then swapped the skill to being a designer, but I still do IT for certain clients. Thats why I love arcades so much. IT / Web / Dev and all that shit is so so fragile. AT least Pac-Man can't get crypto locked and held for ransom by some threat actors in Russia........ yet

Enjoy, and onward!

Sweet! We will meet soon. I have been volunteer teching the pinball machines for the past 10 years. Nice to have a dedicated repair person!
