If I finish my Mario Bros resto this week (yeah right), I have several resto candidates to start on next. What would you tackle next off of this list?

-Stealth Multi-Williams in a Joust Cab (will be restored as a Joust-stencils, etc)

-Stealth 60-in-1/ Pacman restore (will be restored as a Pacman-stencils, etc)

-Dedicated Moon Patrol (full restore with Stencils)

-TRON (full restore)

-DK Junior (full restore)

I am really having a hard time deciding. I want most bang for the buck, so the multis look enticing, but I am also trying to finish my Ninty row. I also always wanted to have a restored TRON in the cade, but I know this one will be most frustrating/ time consuming.
 
I'd do the Moon Patrol. Mine is done(I didn't restore it) and it looks pretty cool, although it does not have the correct cpo on it. Will cost you less than the Tron too, right?
 
TRON, just because its the most expensive, and you deserve to spend all that dough with your "look at me!" post.
 
Tough call but if I had all those in the garage awaiting resto I would
do the Tron first, it's the most expensive and probably most involved.
Second the stealth 60-n-1 Pac because restored PAC cabs look awesome.
Then the Joust. and finally the the MP.
 
Oh yeah forgot about the DK jr. But you could do that one in your spare time as your a seasoned pro when it comes to the Nintendos.

If you have what you need already, then do the Tron. You know your going to want to have that ready when Tron Legacy comes out. :)

If you don't have all the parts/art lined up on the Tron, do the DK jr.

Shark Attack at the back of the line?

i say, take the time and play some games.. Then do the pacman with the 60in1 and play some of those. then the dk jr

While I appreciate the 'stop to smell the roses sentiment', if I listened to statements like these I'd still be restoring the last few games in my gayrage on my 85th birthday. I have 10-12 games to start AND finish (that's before the auction this Saturday), and I only get about 8 hours every 2 weeks of shop time anymore. I play my games when I absolutely CAN'T work on them. I think I am gonna go with the 60 in 1 Pacman next. Then the Joust Multi, then the DKJR. TRON or Moon Patrol will follow those 3. That only leaves Berzerk, Playchoice 10, Donkey Kong, Elevator Action, Jungle King, Shark Attack and Double Dragon to finish.

This is pretty much your fate. You have a wife that hates your hobby (or so you have said many times here), and 2 kids that need your attention. You may as well play them.

I will and do. In fact, I played a game and a half of Qbert Saturday. It was while I was between projects.

Oh, so you are calling them "projects" now, huh? Thats no way to treat young men.
