Just really decided to start collecting. Watching john fix up his really inspired me to do the same with mine. I have a working multicade that I received from my parents, and an old EM pinball machine as well. I always thought an arcade would be fun, especially now that I'm going to be a dad as well as the fact that I loved them when I was a kid! I miss them so much and want that for my kids! I just bought a pole position upright, and am working on the conversion to LCD for now, I just want to be able to play because it came with no monitor, but hopefully I will replace with CRT down the road. Also I am planning on picking up a Tetris upright this Sunday. Hopefully with what I know of electronics, soldering, and jerry-rigging, I can really get into this and have my arcade basement for all my family and friends to enjoy! You've inspired me john, keep up the vids and thanks for the thought that we can fix these old games and still enjoy them!
