Hello, I am an avid collector of vintage arcade machines and an accomplished musician. Me and my wife run a professional recording studio in Atlanta, Georgia where we also collect and house some of the rarest vintage synthesizers, musical instruments and other gear in the world and I have stopped by to say hello because I am not really new to VAPS/KLOV, but new to posting here. In the late 80's early 90's, I worked as an attendant for Aladdin's Castle in Charleston, SC and Goldmine in Atlanta, Georgia. I am also an Electronics Engineer and moved here to Atlanta, Georgia where I got my degree at Georgia Tech. I like to collect the classics as well as rare finds. I have attached a picture of an unusual Krazy Kong machine cabinet that I have never seen before that we have restored and is in our collection. THe bezel and marquee artwork is rare I believe.
At the moment we have collected about 22 arcade machines some are laser disc machines. We have the top famous laser disc machines such as Dragon's Lair 1 and 2, Space Ace and Cliff Hanger.
We do all of our repairs and restorations as it is part of the satisfaction of the hobby. We own no multicades or MAME machines, nor are we in the business of making/selling multicades. We are purists to the highest degree and all of our machines are complete original dedicated cabinets and what we collect we try and put back to original functional condition as close as possible. We are always experimenting and learning about this hobby and consider ourselves new to it since we have only been doing this for about five years or so but this year the bug has really bit us! I never thought this would happen to me as starting out I only collected three of my favorites but now we have an agenda. I guess it is true. You cannot own just one.
We have a list to collect over 100 games eventually. If anyone can help us achieve this, that would be great. We have not collected any pinballs but we aim to have about 50 to 100 of those as well. Anyways, Hello everyone and hands down, we have seen this is the place to be if you are in the hobby of collecting, restoring and maintaining vintage arcades or anything else of that nature! You will see me posting more than ever before as our collection is growing. We try and collect about 20 machines or more a year. Our collection is registered here so check us out when you can! I am pleased and happy to be a part of this community.
