Marylanders: How Big Is Your Collection?

I have 4 playchoice countertops and 1 duel playchoice plus a sega hang on that's up and running so 6 cabinets ..all I need is a nice and minty single monitor playchoice 10 to make seven !!
 
All full size cabs unless otherwise noted.

Working Games:

Vids(29) I have not powered on all of these recently, so it would not suprise me if a few of these flaked out on me upon turn on.
Assault- I have Matt Osborns Hi ScorePlus kit to add to this game.
Asteroids Deluxe- This game is in great shape. I'd like to get the multi kit for this, obviously.
Bosconian- may convert back to its original Rally X state.
Burgertime- Has repro bezel, Have Stencils, Repro Marquee, Repro CPO to apply.
Challenger- needs new marquee and a cap kit.
Championship Sprint- missing side art.
Crazy Climber- I have new repro metal CPO and new joys to install. Top of cab is water damaged and will need a replacement piece. Just put a refurbed chassis on the WG 4600. Need to make a harness to replace the alli clips on the switcher I put in there.
Donkey Kong- nice cab, has high score mod.
Elevator Action
Frogger - has hi score kit.
Front Line - mon needs degauss.
Galaga- Monitor needs refurbishing. There is an intermittent problem in the harness that sometimes silences the fire button, ugh! Need to install new CPO and Cab art.
Galaxian - nice game that I got from Devin. I have the repro side art for this - not sure if I will install it or not.
Gorf- Converted to Vertical JAMMA and painted textured black. Needs complete art restoration. I have all the parts to convert it back to its Gorfian glory. This was maybe the 3rd or 4th game I ever bought. I got it when I lived in LA and picked it up from this really cool dude Tom, who went by the handle 'Bonzai Run'. He showed me that it was OK to have games in the family room - and the kitchen - and the guest bedroom - and in the driveway under tents - and in the backyard not under tents. He also showed me how to pack a 2 car garage chock full o' games. 13 yrs later I now have a 2 car garage chock full o' games and one '72 MOPAR. I have to admit that way back then as a total collecting noob, his arcade obsession scared me a little. Now look at me!
Gyruss- Needs Mon refurbishing. Need to install new CPO and T molding. Needs woodwork on the sides. I have stencils to repaint this.
Lady Bug- Mon needs cap kit. Side art needs to be redone but its not bad and very clean inside.
Major Havoc- Tempest conversion. I have the parts to convert this back to a Tempest & I plan on moving MH to a coming soon repro dedicated cab.
Missile Command- needs a bezel upgrade and I need to install the new repro trackball that I have.
Operation Wolf- Working, thanks to Superbee4406. Got from Lloyd for $75-he practically made me buy it-and it played blind. "IT WAS JUST A FUSE", or rather a bad FUSE holder, again thanks to Tim. I luv playing this game, but it seems harder than the ones I remember from my youth.
Pac-Man- Converted to Horiz JAMMA w Midnight Resistance. Cab needs major woodwork, repaint. I have most, if not all of the Pac parts.
Phoenix- Needs new CPO installed, Cap kit.
Pleiades- could use new cpo and marquee.
Q*bert- this had an intermittent sound problem that seems to have gone away once I did a Fonzie luv tap on the 74ls377 chip. need to install Multi Qbert kit which I have. Needs cosmetic upgrades: CPO, side art, etc are a little rough
Race Drivin'- Converted from Hard Drivin Cockpit. Force Feedback needs adjustment. Have signpost marquee on the cab.
Star Wars- Amp mon is 'halfway' bulletproofed, need to finish that. I have a yoke rebuild kit, but yoke works fine as is. Tube has a 'small spot of death' in the center that is noticeable during Death Star explosion. I also have the SW/ESB kit to install on this.
Time Pilot- Has full side art, but scratched up in a few places. Cab needs some structural repair. The cab instability effects gameplay! It's really hard to use that Monroe joy when the cab moves all over the place.
Tutankham.
Vanguard.
Xevious - in a really nice dedicated cab. Superbee4406 also helped me with this one by bypassing the filter bd and refurb'ing the MatsuSHIT'a mon. I did not know you could bypass the filter bd!

Pins (3)
Firepower- Flippers seem to be a little too manly.
Gorgar- New header insert. One flipper a little weak.
Super Mario Bros- One weak flipper that gets stuck sometimes.

Almost working...(12)
Carnival- Sound not working. KLOV'er Robotron helped me get a working sound board, but I am having some issue with the main board, I guess. I did verify good power and good sound pots, and the spkrs squelch upon startup like they should. I have abandoned the work on this one for the meantime.
Gorf- Complete and decent cab, Have new repro metal CPO. Need to install new side art. Thanks to Logical Highs, I have a working PCB set minus the CPU bd, which is getting there.
Hogan's Alley- Converted from a DKJR, nice cab. Almost working. Boots up, but gun does not register although it makes gunshot sounds.
Konami GT- Monitor needs cap kit. Have a new CPO for this. There is no love for this game, although I sold one of my PCB's to a Japanese collector for $120. The only PCB I have now has a slight graphics glitch in the oncoming cars and cycles. I plan on converting this to a MAME driver, if I can't sell it.
Kung-Fu Master -Complete, non working. May convert to a Moon Patrol since I have a working pcb for that. Needs Mon since I stupidly snapped its neck.
Marble Madness -Complete, not working (PWR issue, will not boot). Was a Road Blasters (I still have RB kit).
Monaco GP Cockpit. Complete, almost working. Test switch needs to be replaced. Needs new seat.
Omega Race - has a wierd problem that causes the screen to jitter occasionally. Previous owner suspects it has to do with the main boards adapter for the daughter card.
Scramble- Plays blind, needs Monitor chassis fix.
Silk Worm In a Taito cab- I have a multi Taito board that I will put in this. I'm pretty sure this works, just haven't uncorked my garage yet.
Spy Hunter- I need to rebuild the hacked video harness and then I think it is good to go.
Tron- Almost there. Another game that Logical Highs & son is helping me with - thanks a ton guys. They helped me test a few board sets I had and they pretty much all had problems but one. One of the PCB sets I had that was labled Tron actually played Satan's hollow! I guess we could swap ROMS and use that set. My visits to Chuck & Casey's End of the Line arcade are currently on hold due to the heat!

Projects...(18)
Astro Blaster- Complete, but not working (PCB issue)
Atari Football Cocktail- Complete, but not working. Have new RAM trackballs kit plus new TOG side art.
Battlezone- Missing boards but nice cab. I recently got a working PCB, but I'm not sure at the moment what other parts I need.
Beast Busters- No boards or guns, my MAME candidate that was given to me by louisurfer back in my SoCal days.
Berzerk- needs Monitor, have the Spaeth bd. Cab needs lots of TLC.
Escape From The Planet Of The Robot Monsters- In a generic cab, complete but yet untested.
Gun Smoke- In a Pac Man cab. Untested but I think this works.
Jungle King- Just a bare cab, that needs some substantial wood repair. Plan on restoring this back to JK, and I now have all of the parts. Currently painted over in textured black.
Loco-Motion- Original Loco cab that was converted to Rush N Attack. I have an untested pcb. I also have NOS side art. Cab needs monitor.
Rally-X Cocktail- may convert to Bosconian
Robotron: 2084- Currently converted to a Choplifter and no worky. Plan on making this a multi Williams, and I do have a brand new MW panel and a jrok board.
Space Duel- Converted to Silkworm, this will be my ZVG Multi Vector Cab. I have the ZVG board and a 6100 in need of refurb'ing and a brand new multi vector takeman CP. I also just got the radford MV harness which is really sweet.
Space Invaders- Complete. Just needs assembly, a ton of woodwork, repainting. I have stencils for this. I also have a new BW mon, new backdrop moon, Braze kit, and a working PCB set.
The End- I have the parts to make this a Turtles or a Scramble.
Turtles- Just got this from Lloyd, but have not picked up yet. I think this is dedicated, but I am not sure. I have a near NOS Turtles kit with like new CP, bezel, marquee, pcb, and harness. I guess I will take the old Turtles parts out and do up the cab and then place the near NOS parts in - in my dreams, I guess.
Zaxxon- converted to Future Spy but no pcb and bad mon. I have all of the parts to convert it back to ZAXXON. I must have about 15 Zaxxon PCBs. I plan on cornering the Zaxxon PCB market in the next year or so.
Major Havoc dedicated!- Repro cab on order from Dptwiz and should get in August via mgreen - thanks Brett & Mike! I have the repro CP & harness, CPO art, repro roller and buttons, and the repro piece frame set. I also have repro side art and an Amp mon that will need to be refurbed. I hope Dokert can get to the main harness sometime soon (get well soon Dok). Finally, Takeman is da man!
Quantum- Repro cab with art applied on order from Dptwiz and should get in August via mgreen - thanks again Brett & Mike! I have the repro CP & harness, and CPO art. I have a NOS 6100 tube for this and have most of the 6100 chassis parts. Oh, and of course I have the repro pcb and chip kit. I will need to hire someone like Riptor or Douglas to build this PCB for me....(dang, I went way overboard with this project).

Misc...
Coke bottle vender- late 60s or early 70s Coke machine that works with bottles - hello Costco Mexican Coke! Refrig'ing works but needs cleaning.
Booth Jukebox unit- small juke unit that I plan to put a 9" touchscreen in and maybe some Rasberry Pi??? May be the OP of this thread can help me with this??? - he put together a really cool STTNG touch juke for End of the Line.
Rowe Change Machine- tall slender unit.
 
James, I am going to print out your post so I can hand it to my wife when she raises her eyebrows at me. Also, I would be glad to build your Quantum board - I was more interested in building one than having the end product, so let's talk.

I have 14 cabinets (13 video and ST:TNG pinball) but many of the cabinets do double or triple (or more) duty with board/control panel swaps:

Space Duel also plays Gravitar, Black Widow, and Major Havoc.
Asteroids also plays Deluxe and Lunar Lander.
Power Drift also plays Out Run.
Championship Sprint also plays Super Sprint and Paperboy. If I can find a monitor that does standard resolution as well as medium (or convert to LCD?), it will also play Marble Madness (control panels all fit).
Star Wars also plays ESB.
Star Trek also plays the other SEGA vector games (very quietly).
A de-converted Joust cab plays the Multi-Williams (and other horizontal games) via ArcadeShop's board.
Galaxian plays a bunch of vertical games via the new ArcadeSD board.
Tempest also plays Aliens and Vector Breakout.
Star Castle also plays Armor Attack and hopefully will someday play the other CCPU games.
Two Tigers is dedicated.
Omega Race is dedicated.
Battlezone is dedicated (although I wonder about Red Baron).

So that makes 30 games in 12 cabinets, plus I don't know how many in the 2 multi cabs.
 
I have 4 playchoice countertops and 1 duel playchoice plus a sega hang on that's up and running so 6 cabinets ..all I need is a nice and minty single monitor playchoice 10 to make seven !!

Are you trying to get 6 machines so you can play all 54 Playchoice games at once ?

As for my collection. 14 games (all working, a few have minor issues but are all playable) + 1 empty cab waiting for a ground up restore.

Put your location in your profile so when you post we'll know that you're "one of us" lol

You live in MD? Your location reads Scranton PA.
 
By all means print it out - just don't show it to my wife! I will get in touch about the Quantum. I didn't realize at the party that you were the "Omega" repro man - just too slow to put that together. I was the guy who asked you where you got the Mexican Coke (Coca Cola, that is). I've been reading that OR repro pcb thread and just never noticed you were from 'Balmer'. BTW, Is it possible to run Quantum in the Space Duel?

I am the Omega Race repro man (and the Asteroids/Deluxe/LL interface and other stuff) but I sadly have not been to any parties lately. Might host one this fall once our basement is rebuilt.

As for Q in a SD, they're close but not close enough - you'd need to move some wires or use a simple adapter. Quantum has only the single connector so some of the wires from the smaller SD harness would need to be transferred (as well as the trackball lines).
