Finally decided to start a collection of arcade and pinball machines. I bought my first two games. Now it is just waiting on the weather to be decent to move them to their new home.

Looking forward to learning everything I can from everyone here; especially those of you who I will need to get my Lost World Arcade playable.
 
Welcome... You're Lucky, you're actually in a great spot for this hobby... Craigslist around Pittsburgh is a great place to find good and pretty fair priced games. Wish I lived more to the west because I've seen some deals that I really would have wanted but I just can't convince myself to do the 8+ hour round trip to get them.
 
That is a lot of driving for one day. The other issue is how much time and effort will go into moving and loading a game.

Pittsburgh has a few companies with large collections, two are open to the public all the time. Then you have PAPA. I'm glad that I can enjoy so many games without having to cram them all into my basement, and that helps keep my wallet happy.

Yeah, I was gonna ask you if you've been to Pinball Pa in Aliquippa/Hopewell. Great place.
 
That must be the Lost World that John had. Bet that was fun getting out of the basement.

I'm the tech for all the ReplayFx/ PAPA arcade games.

Yes that is John's Lost World. Definitely a great guy. Probably spent an hour and a half checking out his collection.

Lost World will not be moved until the weather improves. Getting that out of his basement has been something I think about; need to go back and see the setup in the light.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!
