New to the forum. Working on a few projects for my new obsession ;). Picked up a few arcades last Christmas from a local roller skating rink and the bug bit me hard. Wife hates it but the kids are in heaven. All of them work but need TLC and some repairs. Replaced the buttons on POW recently since half the buttons didnt register anymore. Hope I'm welcome here.

Currently working on Time soldiers. Found out the other day it was birthed as a Tempest. Im not mad because I dig cabinet design and works well. Working on finding replacement joysticks as these are very warn due to the environment they were in most of its life.

Some helpful info...



 
Welcome aboard, lots of useful information to be had here, my only advice is utilize the search button before asking questions. Pretty much, most major topics and questions have been covered a few times over.

Thanks for the info. I came across a few helpful posts already but appreciate more info.
 
Now the outline of Tempest stands out. Don't covert it back unless you already have a monitor sourced and have a wad of cash.
Was trying to remove the paint on the side to expose the artwork but the acetone I tried really damaged the colors on the area I tried. I thought having the tempest artwork looked a lot cooler than the boring black with time soldiers art.
 
Welcome too, dparty!
 
It's not showing your location near your posting avatar/stuff... You might have members near ya that can give good advice/locations for stuff. Just an idea, not trying to dox you or anything. :D

There's somewhere in your account settings that you can list as vague or specific a location as you'd prefer.
 
Welcome! What an awesome start to your collection -- lots of people would be particularly jealous of a Circus Charlie and Q*bert! Whereabouts are you located? There a many local groups of folks all over willing to offer help if you need it.

Been trying for a while to locate that somewhere. But once I find it, I will be sure to post my location. But for now, I'm in Watertown Wisconsin.

Circus Charlie is my daughters favorite to play. Even though Charlie has no sound nor any illumination from the marquee its quite a fun game to play.
