Show your counter tops - Merits, Touchmasters, etc.

What do you guys think about having Countertops in your arcade? Positive or negative? What countertops are the best? Do they get played at your arcade parties? And finally, show us some photos of your countertops.

Just curious as I just picked up a "like new" Midway Touchmaster Infinity for $250 this week and am loving it.

Here's the counter top I have:

I'd like to get a Merit Arkanoid someday (one that isn't beat to hell).

I had the Pac-Man / Galaga countertop, but didn't care for the flat screen.

Here's the only one I own now:

Needs a connector fixed and some other work. Fun as hell to play.

I've emailed Mr. Pace's new company (he made this thing) to get info about it. Haven't heard anything from them.
 
I have a Megatouch Force EVO 2005.5 at home and a Megaoutch Maxx Sapphire in the Slim cabinet at the bar. Once our basement is finished this will go on the bar where it belongs.

My Megatouch (Ruby) gets played almost as much if not more then anything else in my arcade especially at parties. I have noticed that my friends wives and girlfriends flock to it immediately and it gets non-stop play.
 
I love my Megatouch. I have the Force 2006.5 and it is by far the most played game in my arcade. My wife plays it non-stop and my kids love it too. I highly recommend them. But, a newer one isn't cheap, that's the bummer.

I have a Megatouch Maxx Diamond edition. Worked great until the monitor bloomed. Need to get a round to fixing it. Really got played a ton! Will upgrade it after it's fixed.

I have 4 Megatouches, 2 in my arcade and 2 in my bar. Here is a pic of the nicest, my Gametime. And I agree, women do love the Megatouches.
 
Were old school around here. Megatouch 6 in a 19" cabaret cab, blends nicely with the other games.

My Infinity would rock if it quit freezing up. Kev, are you ready for this stuff?


Phet, try recapping the pcb and see if that fixes your issue. These bartops generate and hold alot of head which leads to an early demise of any caps in them. A friend played mine for about 3 hours straight and then it started randomly rebooting. Pulled the board and tested the caps with my esr meter and found several bad caps. Recapped it and its been rock solid since. I have several of these and most of the problems with them were bad power supplies due to dry caps and monitors needing recapped.
I have a couple of the touchmasters like the infinity but its the older green cabinet. I also have a couple of the megatouch ones.


Anyone have a couple DBV's that fit these?
