Title: Greetings from Westminster, MD
Post by: otifrank on July 17, 2015, 01:40:31 pm
Hello All.
My name is Frank and I'm from Westminster, Md. I've been an avid MAME gamer for years and only just recently discovered the whole John's Arcade phenomenon. Love the videos.
I currently own an original Robotron that I've had since the early 80's. It's currently down and I'm trying to learn how I might "fix" it. My kid is just getting ready to leave for her first semester of college so, I'm guessing I'll finally have adequate time to pursue the hobby. I also have a MAME cab that I bought off of a guy a few years back for pretty cheap. It's mostly just the guts of an old Compaq desktop that has been shoved into an old Killer Instinct cabinet. It functions but, BARELY so, that could probably use a good tear down and "proper" rebuild into a real cabinet!  ;)

Looking forward to reviewing more of John's video's and trying to learn this hobby a good bit better.

Peace
