Recommend someone in SF Bay Area who restores arcades?
Howdy,
Been a while. I'm up to three arcades now.
I think I have "the bug." Defender, Joust, and soon this weekend, Centipede.
My Defender and Centipede look great. Defender just needs some work on the joystick. Doesn't look like Centipede needs any work. All original, still working.
My Joust, on the hand, needs a lot of cosmetic work. The original artwork was painted over with no chance of restoring it. I'm OK with a soldering iron and some basic electronics or mechanical work. However, when it coms to the cosmetic issues, I'm a complete newbie. I know I'll bodge it up.
I plan on buying the Joust stencils online, but I'd like to pay someone to sand, putty, sand, paint, sand, paint, and then apply the stencils. Can anyone here recommend someone in the San Francisco Bay Area that restores arcade machines? I'm in the South Bay (Milpitas), but I have a pickup, so I can deliver the arcade to wherever it needs to go.
Thanks,
Doug
