Hey guys.
I'm new here to the board and new to the idea of fixing up old arcade games. My electronics experience is limited to this point, so I'm working on learning more about that. My game playing experience is stellar, however.
Which game (or games) would you recommend for a beginner? I'm looking for something that the parts wouldn't be too terribly hard to find, something relatively easy to fix up in regards to the standard types of problems. Also I need something that will be easy on my budget since my budget is pretty slim.
I've been reading a lot of the threads here and learning a lot from you guys. Also, I live about 45 minutes away from Meadowview in Kingsport, so I plan to go there for the January auction at least to see what's up. Should I use that time to pick up some general parts or should I take the plunge and buy a fixer-upper?
The time I've spent looking around this forum has been really helpful to me so far. I'm ready to get in there and get my hands dirty. Thanks for reading my long-ass post.
