What are you doing with your January/February (in the gameroom/workshop)?

[hisnice]

I think the vast majority of us are in the northern hemisphere (side shout out to our friends in Australia), which means it's colder, days are shorter, the holidays are over... and now what??

This time of year are you:
A) Broke, so you're not buying anything and only playing games?
B) Buying parts/art and finally have some time for repairs/restorations?
C) Buying games to repair/restore?
D) Buying restored minty games that Santa overlooked on your Christmas list?
1) Selling parts/art because I need some cash and/or I finally have time to get organized and clean and test boards
2) Selling games that need repair/restoration (including "players condition")
3) Selling restored minty games

I'm a B1 and might also finally sell a few games once I play a few more times and clean them up.
But for me, it's the time to clean/organize/repair/play

What about you?

I pre-ordered a lot of parts. I also bought a heater for my garage. Plus, I do plenty of work in the basement. I am currently re-storing some games to sell at a later date.

Accumulate games, expand storage, sell off the bottom 10% of the collection, repair the top 10% of the collection, refine the arcade, stare at everything else.

Been moving parts/games around in the basement. Everything is more organized now.
Might start testing some PCBs. Need to finish my ZK project - ideally, that should be my priority.
I'll be glad if I get any of that done before Spring.

So, for me, no buying or selling - just working - the best part of the hobby, IMHO.

I have been cutting my own cabinets and decided to go cordless so I am in the middle of replacing all my power tools. Saws, drills, impact hammers, routers, grinders, polishers etc. Cutting cabinets has allowed me to stop searching for whole games and concentrate on sourcing pcbs, proper controls and artwork for each game.

Working on this Liberator! I've also been fixing a neighbors Pac-Man, but it's so cold right now certain things will have to wait for Spring.

Probably going to tell myself I'll reorganize my work bench so I have more space to work and then wind up not getting around to it XD
