*Firstly, some perspective: I have two arcades.
1. The main arcade is a commercial-grade (legit) 80s arcade with the capacity for 16 games (currently have 9).
2. The garage-cade/arcade restoration shop, has the capacity for 10 games (currently have 6)
*Secondly, I'll start off with what's been accomplished in 2022 already:
1. Acquired a fully-restored Zookeeper
2. Repaired DK (PS)
3. Repaired Burgertime (PS)
4. Repaired Alpine Ski (sent chassis out)
5. Repaired Moon patrol (fixed molex connector and sent PCB out)
6,. Finished PC-10 (DM) project (final step was lower monitor cap kit)
7. Fixed Quartet (daughter board came loose during move—whew!)
*Thirdly, what I hope to accomplish in the remaining 8 months:
1. Restore a Frogger for my daughter (tagged for a permanent spot in the garage-cade)
2. Restore a Roadblasters (for the main arcade)
3. Install a 4-way switcher and adapters in DK for my DK Jr PCB and Nibbler PCB (hope to also find a DK 3 PCB)
4. Install a switcher in 1943 for my Commando PCB
5. Acquire another game or two on my list
6. Install the Gun/holster on my PC-10 (DM)
7. Replace burned-out coin return bulbs and install freeplay buttons on machines that still need it.
8. Finish my Polaris cocktail restore (possibly the only one that still exists—anyone?)
9. Fix the gun issue on my Op Wolf
I think that's a reasonable list.
