Hello,
My name is Fredrik, living in Norrköping in south of Sweden. I am both new and "old" to VAPS / KLOV. I first joined in 1998 but apparently dropped out some years after. As I am born in 1966, I played many games during the golden years of the early 80's, and especially got bitten by the Atari classics like Centipede, Missile Command and Tempest. I long had the idea to buy myself a game. So in 1993 I bought a Centipede Cabaret, then a Tempest in parts followed by a Missile Command cocktail. All from the same operator who had the space to keep the complete games. As said, I dropped out for many years (but never lost interest), moved to Holland for 3 years, then back to Sweden again, got family and 2 kids. All the time these 3 games followed; sell them never was an option! So, some months ago my active interest sparked again, and I decided to repair and bring the Tempest and Missile to working order again. So here I am, ordering lots of parts from the US, enjoying reading posts and learn a lot. Also thinking of getting a Millipede PCB and install it in my Centipede. Nice to be on the forum!
Cheers // Fredrik
