Ok I Think Its About That Time Now *My Official Arcade Gathering* 7/16/11

July 16th 2011 starting from 12pm until.... I'm opening the dungeon to collectors/friends to come by and destroy my games (lol) play games / hang out and hopefully buy parts while they are here. My goal is to have everyone leave with something. I will have hundreds of parts for sale at great prices this day and also will have a paid raffle for a brand new 19" monitor. I will put together some other paid raffles along with some free raffles just to make things a little exciting around here. My place is not the biggest so I'm not sure how many people I can fit in here, but I promise to have everything off the floors so no one won't get hurt or laughed at falling over something. If you can make it please reply here because I guess I'll keep the tradition going and do the pizza thing. I'll PM all thats interested my address and phone number.

Here is my latest for sale thread and will be adding to it as I clean things up around here. Also please check out my wanted list at the bottom of the thread for possible trades/sales:

Darryl, I'm planning to come. I dread the idea of driving the 395/95 beast again, but the pull of playing Wild Western and Front Line is too much for me to resist!

The only thing I'm currently looking for is a coin bucket for my Centipede cabaret over/under door.
 
I still have to convince my wife but I know she wants that Q*Bert! I'll let you know ASAP. Thanks for hosting.
 
I probably have one but I need to see a picture of one. I had a few cabarets, but dont remember what kind of coin bucket it has in it.

I will be there with my dad. Was actually just going to pm you to ask for details. Don't currently see any junk....I mean parts (lol), that I need butthatis likelyto change once I get there.

Can't wait, your collection is awesome, and I hope your DL or SA is ready and set up.
 
I plan to be there(need to get authorization from the wife but I am sure she will let me out). I will bring some snack food and let me know if you want me to bring something specific.

You know I am still interested in one of those qberts you are restoring but I am sure I need a bunch of other stuff you have in your parts cache!

So I am wondering if we will break the record for the most games on at once at your house?

Yeah I had another breaker added. I ran it for awhile and nothing shut down, so I guess only time will tell when I have a few people in here actually playing the machines.

do you have it setup where you can have all the machines on now?
 
Yeah looks like they will be coming downstairs since I Sold the Tempest and Mario Bros today. I hate having to get rid of my games to get other games, but I guess you cant keep them all unless you are single and have the whole house to decorate with vids & pins. Man that would be a lovely site!

lol. Thats actual what I'm looking forward too. This is going to be the first time since I've been collection that more that 4 machines will be played at once. I think they should with stand there first beatings. Only game I'm scared about is my Star Castle. that one seem to be the most fragile in my collection. Everything else seems to be solid. I still have a lot of little cosmetics things I want to do and hope I can do between now and the 16th. Mainly painting the black areas and changing out the T-molding on some of the cabs. Seems the easy things to do I never or dont feel like doing. You can bring whatever you like. You can bring me something for this Phoenix machine.

You just have to get a space like mine, 3000sq ft. of gaming heaven. My only 3 restraints are 1) funds 2) the need for me to run more power, 3) lack of heating and cooling. The 3rd may change once I run more power into my arcade, just one of those thing where I don't really want to get into the attic to do it.

Need/want me to bring anything?
 
Yeah I could do a lot with that much space. I wouldn't have any worries then. You can bring whatever you like. A Qbert Qubes machine would be nice for the host though!

Holy crap that selection is like an 80's Chuck E Cheese on steroids!
Anyone want to pick me up in Minnesota and bring me back when it's over?
 
When I asked if you wanted me to bring anything I meant like food or drink especially since I don't have any Qberts Cubes laying around, much less any project games your looking for.
