what are your proposed MEMORIAL DAY WKND arcade activities?

For me,

I'm hoping to just get out in the blasted garcade and move some things around. I also keep toying with the idea of painting the walls black or a dark color, but I also don't want to spend the whole Holiday weekend PAINTING (blech).

Sometime last Fall, I split up my 2 pinball machines to diff locations in the garcade, and now I'm wanting them to be back together again. You never know unless you try, right?

I may also jettison some crap from out there that is just sitting around that I'm tired of looking at (ie old broken parts, wiring, junk).

And of course, I hope to play some games in there too :)
 
Finish repairing a 6100 HV cage, rebuild a 6100, rebuild an Amplifone deflection and HV cage, possibly goto Santa Cruz to work on a monitor

I'm running a Dariusburst AC competition at my place; will perhaps finally get my Zaxxon monitor fixed.
 
Well I already put in orders for some parts, so hopefully they'll arrive before the weekend.

My personal plans are to actually try to get this MEGA (Tsunami) running. If that doesn't work out for me I'll be stripping the cab, re-wiring it (since it's not setup for Jamma), and prepping it for the Killer Instinct 2 side art.

Either way I forsee a long weekend ahead of getting pissed off at things not working properly, and probably going out on the motorcycle for a while instead.
 
I'm going to START shopping my TAF. I've owned it for 14-15 years now and shopped it when I first got it. Now there are no GI lights working and I have a brand new Pinball Inc. ramp to install on it. It actually has little wear and no magnet burn. I also plan to install fuses in the magnets. This was also the 2nd game I ever shopped so I'm sure I can improve on some of things I did all those years ago.
 
Finishing up my MK2 restoral... Just waiting on the wood piece of the control panel to arrive...

Paint is stripped down to original artwork, MK2 PCB is wired up, ran all the new wires for the kick harness last night as well as a new wire for the service credit button inside the coin door....

Almost done!
 
I'm going to tackle the next steps of my VO restore and hopefully sell off some more console stuff on ebay to fund a couple of mods I have in mind...
 
I doubt the time will come available, but I'd love to start rebuilding the harness that was chopped in my EK pin. That's going to be a slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow project.
 
Working on arcade

i have an arcade that currently has 19 games. i will be rotating stock from my garage into the game room. i just got in 4 games i purchased from djdns. root beer tapper, mad planets, timber and wizard of wor. i received delivery from sti tuesday so i have to unwrap and inspect and see if they made the trip ok (cross my fingers). my wife received them while i was away. now i have to see what games are going out.
currently in the room:
asteroids, asteroids deluxe, starwars, discs of tron, tron,star castle, robotron, defender/stargate combo, blackwidow, 60-1 digdug cab, bubbles, space duel, berzerk, gorf, crystal castles, babypacman, qbert, carnival and cosmic avenger.

i believe i will garage asteroids, bubbles, berzerk, crystal castles for now.
i am second guessing the berzerk move, its very nice!
sorry to bore you to death!

Clean the damn place up. My gameroom is such a sty right now, parts and packing materials everywhere. I won't have time for much else because the rest of the condo is in worse shape and will require some outright excavation. I have a balcony to reclaim from the clutches of clutter!

I had so much crap to pull off of my Lucky and Wild machine the other night just so my daughter could play it. Sitdowns are total crapmagnets..

Also finish the last back door on my NARC which i didnt get when i got the cab. Had to make one and router it.. looks original just have to paint it.. other then that hang out drink beer with some friends and my lady
