My name is Dan Cantrell. A 40 year old Fire Captain from St. Louis. Covid wasn't all bad. It gave me a love for arcades and pinballs a new hobby. I started by purchasing Arcade1up and reselling. I quickly moved into modifying and customizing. A few full size machines came up for sale locally so I took the plunge and began to learn to do basic repairs. I've bought, repaired around 20 arcades and 2 EM pinball machines. I don't have a business but I do local repairs by word of mouth from friends and family. Thanks for having me.

I never considered them actual arcades, just big toys that took up a lot of real estate. Thanks for the welcome
We all started somewhere. I had a 1up Ms. Pac and a Legends Ultimate before my jump to real thing. I didn't have those longer than a month before I was over them.
 
Welcome! I was on our site Fire Brigade and eventually had Chief duties.

Sounds like you are off to a good start! Stick with it!
 
Welcome to KLOV, and I have never owned a Arcade1up. However, I accidentally got close to one at Best Buy the other day and started breaking out in Hives. I'm better now.

All fun aside, talk about a winning business model. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, Alliance Entertainment reported $229 million in net revenue according the Googles AI robot.
 
Welcome to KLOV.

If you ever get across the state to KC, feel free to say Hi. There is a solid group of collectors in the Midwest, including Missouri.
