Just wondering if anyone has a method or even a template for logging repairs/maintenance/service on their home arcade collection? When I got started in this a few years ago and had 2-3 machines it was pretty easy to remember what I'd done, when, and to what. Today I have over 20 machines, and it's easy to lose track of what's been done to what… Did I recap that monitor? How long ago? How about that sound board? Is that the original power supply? Are those the original controls or new replacements? Not looking at this from a financial perspective, but more of just tracking what's been changed or serviced for my own knowledge, future sales, etc.
Does anyone else do this? Do you have a specific format? Do you keep a log in/with each machine, or a central log for your entire collection? It will already be a chore to try to go back and account for most of the stuff I've done over the last 5 years, but I guess better late than never.
Just looking for some ideas or tips. Not looking to overcomplicate things, but I'm thinking I'm not the only anal one around here.
