Title: Hi from Michigan
Post by: 6507 on September 19, 2014, 03:36:23 pm
Hi,

Been collecting arcade games since sometime in 1984.  First game I ever got was a Galaxian I bought from a bar at closing time.  I have a small collection of 14 games and am working on restoring a Gyruss right now.  I'm a member at KLOV and wanted to come over here and hang out while listening to the Arcade Outsiders podcast and check out the forums.

Thanks!  Cool site.  Your YouTube channel got me interested again in this hobby ... Just finished a Gyruss restore.  I spent way too much money on this game, but learned how to spray automotive lacquer so I consider it well spent.

Wow a lot of MI peeps up in here! Represent!

SO... where do I find a used Donkey Kong at under $500? Not possible? Well one just sold for $250... It's just 5-10 minutes before they are sniped as they're listed on CL for low prices!
