Title: Hello from the Motor City
Post by: P-feif on May 02, 2014, 09:35:29 am
Hi, I'm from the Detroit metro area. I have a Midway Space Invaders if 100% working condition and overall in very good condition and a Mrs. Pacman that I just recently purchased but needs a good deal of work. I've been into antique cars most of my life, but recently found that the classic arcade games that I remember from my childhood are pretty darn fun too. I'm doing my best to learn about these games and how to work on them. I've been enjoying watching John's video on Youtube. I've got to say I've learned a lot from his vids and I'm about to give a try to rebuilding my first monitor (just as soon as I find some time to do it). Already got the parts from the real bob Roberts. Thanks for the advice and info John!
