It's everyone's fault here!

I found this site maybe two weeks ago and so far you all have made me purchase....

- Gaunlet Legends (monitor being recapped)
- MK II (Bought non working $200 Zenomorp's videos made my board repair a success!)
- Blitz 2k Gold (monitor being recapped) (upgrading to Vegas board Blitz/Showtime - Thanks to ToplessZ)
- Donkey Kong JR (Bought non working $100 - put two fuses in monitor and now up and running - Needs to be recapped if I find anyone who works on Sanyo EZ20)

Then today two more machines ... I really do not need more projects :)
- Crossfire Maximum Paintball in a 39" Pedestal cabinet (looks awesome) and is going to be a nightmare figuring out the wiring on this one ( No Manual) $150

- Rolling eX.tre.me .... Looks like screen is scrolling (need to look into it closer yet)

Anyone in South Florida who wants to help let me know LOL
 
Welcome to the madness!
and dont worry it you only want to buy 1000 things in the first 2 weeks then you only want to buy 500 things every other days!(if that makes sense)
:):):):):):):):)
You will find that you spend hours on his site too!

OMG tell me about it... I'm a month and a half in and I've got 7 cabs, going to look at 3 more tonight... and pick up two others on Thursday!!!

PLEASE DONT TELL MY WIFE!

I have run out of space in the garage... well except for the mustang...
 
Must stay off Ebay ( too many goodies for my games) and Craigslist.....Someone stop me!

Are you talking about a showcase? Those take up a huge footnote. In some cases a little wider then sit down drivers.

It's very addicting especially since it's a buyers market right now.

I'm down to 7 now, but was up to 9 cabs, last month. Only been collecting for 7 months myself. Just glad there aren't any "have to own" cabs on CL right now, or I'd be selling my left arm to buy em.

3 in my own home, the others are scattered amongst my family and friends. So no matter where I go, I always have an arcade to play.

Welcome to the addiction. I can only house 4 games at a time with my limited space. I currently just have a two at the moment. In the year I have been collecting I have had a total of 8 machines and I live in a city where no machines go up on Craigslist or locally on eBay.
 
I was lucky to find three old time operators getting out of the business and selling everything off cheap to get rid of them :) Told my wife I am just doing my part to preserve history! ROFLOL!
 
Time to share....

You should check out the Florida boards when you have time. There are a number of South Florida guys on there who may be able to help you as well. Also, make plans to attend Gamewarp in Orlando in 2 weekends. There you'll meet a lot of people and get a chance to plan a ton of arcade games and pins:D.
 
HA!....start to find a good divorce lawyer to put on speed dial just in case! You know so when the "either the games go or me" quote pops up. :001_stongue:
 
You need to go out and make some more (single) friends, with big storage spaces that are empty.

That is how I convinced my wife I got rid of some of 'em.

The sickness and the wife...

I bring games into the line-up and hope the wifey doesn't notice with all the flashing lights and sh!^ going on! Kinda like a deer in headlights thing. Worked a few times, she still questions me about how I got Robotron though. Oh yeah babe, I've always had that, it wasn't working before and I just fixed it...yeah, that's it. Been some pretty bad fights from arcades though. Left for a week because of a very nice Centipede I couldn't pass on. When I came home, the game came with me :)

I now store new game purchases in my shop...which is filling up fast!

So sick!!
