Here is a link to an impromptu video of the gameroom from a couple weeks back. The layout has changed drastically since that time so will post another video in the near future.
Sorry that you got into dutch with the missus, most of us have been there too. However, if you are hard pressed to sell (or trade) for another, that Bank Panic would be very well taken care of

Yes yes yes! Spy Hunter is now back to fully working, better than ever before. Had developed a sound issue so sent the boards to @cdjump for repairs and a tune up.
Game now is working and sounding perfect. Thanks so much Chris! Appreciate it greatly brother!
Non working games down to (9) out of (41)… so the home arcade is currently at 78.0% operation

This is the Mr. Do's Castle that was added last week. Was going to rent a Penske truck to grab it but their prices have gone insane…. It would have cost at least $300 to rent with them once the mileage @$1.30 per and gas was factored into the $100 rental + misc charges.
Fortunately was able to borrow a truck with a lift gate from an old friend to go get it
Played the heck out of this game at a neighborhood liquor store when I was (13-14) years old. Good times. Gameplay is fun and the music and sounds are cool. Not much demand for this game it seems though, heh.
With this addition, I'm completely maxed out of space in the garcade at (41) games in a (600) square foot space,

After (15) years or so…. Qbert lives again!! Huge thanks again to @apswann for making reliable reproduction boardsets available and technical support beyond just supplying the boards…
In this case:
Me: Hi Tony…I've got a problem sir…I installed the PCBs and PS board set and replaced the zenar diodes you provided to the power brick… when I plug the game in, nothing happens… it's dead
Apswann: Hmm.. do you have the interlock switches in the right position?
Me: yessir.. Of course, that's the first thing I tried.
Apswann: Have you tried turning on the power switch on top of the cab?
Me: ………….uh
Another non working game bites the dust! Now down to (8)!

Santa Monica isn't too far away.. maybe an hour no traffic. What dates will you be in town? My son's birthday is 7/18 but don't know what we're doing to celebrate or what day.
If nothing is going on, maybe I can get permission from the missus to host an arcade meet, heh.
What days will you be in SoCal?

Looking good Tom!
Welcome back to the hobby! I'm in So Cal as well - just north of LA.

Thank you @SlikkNikk it is awesome to be back. Having a lot of fun and didn't remember what I was missing out on all this time.
Hopefully you will be able to make it out to one of our Arcade meets in the near future. My buddy Shadowkn55 commutes down from Reseda so maybe can carpool if that is out near your way.

Thanks Dean, appreciate it brother. The Neo Geo you let me grab on that awesome find is getting a lot of play at each arcade meet since I've been back. Hope you can make it out to a future game night
