I'm officially at capacity now, another neglected and abused orphan found its way into Jeff's home for abused and exploited arcade games AKA The Madman Arcade: Space Invaders.

I had the boardset for a while and figured I'd find a cab eventually, but I found a complete non-working Space Invaders, and when I got there, it started working. Owner wasn't too happy about that but kept his word and sold it to me anyway. The cab is damaged pretty bad, the left side is pulled away a little, and the right side has a fracture on the inside, but doesn't show through the artwork or anything. I'm hoping with a little re-alignment, a rubber mallet, some glue and a crapload of wide wood clamps I can pull it back together.

After cleaning an inch thick layer of crud off the monitor and mirror, it looks good, and so far I've played several games on it without a problem.

Yeah where are you going to stand now to play games LOL? Do you put that one outside? I know your space is really limited time to keep moving stuff out lol.:D
 
"My last game", says he.

"Ah, ha ha ha ha ha", says me.

Anyone want to place bets on how long it will be?
 
Looks very nice from here. Guess I'll have to use that Lethal Enforcers GunFighters cab myself ;-)

I got the Enduro Racer working!! Thanks for your help.
It has a nasty squeal coming from the speaker when not playing, but not so bad I wont use it.

Yeah well we will see what happens this weekend coming up once hes around all those pinball games. He already said he was going in a pickup truck LOL. So I tend to agree not the last game LOL.
 
You never know I might find a decent pole position cab to replace the chunk of rotten wood I have now. I moved Qbert next to the Mario Bros and put the Space Invaders where Qbert was. I also did a bunch of cleaning and once again have room to move around. Its amazing when you just pick up all the little stupid crap thats laying on the floor.

I'm seriously considering bring a few boxes of junk to allentown with me to see if I can trade/sell.

Mundo - even after this I was still thinking about how to squeeze that in, but eh, I think I"m done for the time being. Maybe I'll bring over the Area 51 kit and let you borrow it. Good to hear you got the Enduro working!
 
Yep, I know what you mean. Im at capacity, and need to sell a couple before I get any more, just no room left. Course, since I said that Ive had 4 more orphans move in looking for some loving.......sigh, Ill get around to clearing out some space eventually:rolleyes:
 
i am parting out a pole position now. just sold the pcb and ar2s out of it, have everything else. the cab is in pretty good shape. not sure how far you are willing to travel though, but i'd let the rest of it all go pretty cheap. pm me if interested...
 
you know, i'm at my second or third time around the no room left plan. somehow everytime i run out of room something comes along and room opens up.


Yeah way to true, I have thought that I was done several times but just a reshuffle and another 2 or three games can fit in LOL. Right now though I really need to get like 5 or 6 games or more done over the summer so I can resume buying lol. So far 1 is almost off the list then I can quickly get 2 more done so hopefully I will be done half of my goal before the end of June.
