If you haven't had the opportunity to make it to the Southern Fried Gaming Expo in Atlanta, GA, I highly suggest that you put it on your list of must attend expos. Some of you guys were there in spirit and didn't even know it:
The Outrun, Kung Fu Master, Tempest, Kangaroo, Asteroids, Centipede, and Pole Position on this row were mine.
I think 3 years ago or so I was planning on bringing Tempest and Asteroids to the show, but was concerned about whether the vectors could make it through the weekend. I asked
@andrewb to go through the monitors and PCBs in the hopes that he could make them bullet proof as possible. I ended up missing that year because of work and they never made it to the show until now, but have been running perfectly for the last 3 years at home. They got beat on for 3 solid days last weekend, from 10am until nearly midnight, with 0 issues. BTW, Pole Position, Kangaroo, and Centipede were all running AndrewB serviced ARs and all connections cleaned using the AndrewB Deoxit / fiber pen method, and at some point I am sure each one of them benefited from an AndrewB tip, whether through his direct help or from one of his posts.
The Marque and box for Tempest was missing when I purchased it. Thanks to
@Coindork who graciously donated this one at no charge, Tempest was looking good for the show thanks to KLOV family.
And someone finally knocked AndrewB off the top of the highscore list
