Title: Hello from Hidden Valley Lake, California Post by: thedarkener on October 08, 2017, 05:11:40 pm Hi all, first arcade game I ever played was Double Dragon at a Round Table Pizza in 1988. I was hooked at a very young age of 8! I have many countless fond memories of playing that along with all of the other greats back then in grocery stores, malls, restaurants, convenience stores.. Close to 20 years later I was lucky enough to score a Double Dragon on eBay for dirt cheap in its original cabinet about 3 hours away. We rented a truck and took the whole day to drive there and back, on my birthday mind you, for it. It was awesome. =} I restored it over the next year, learning a lot.
I'm currently restoring a Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong Jr. paired cabinets that are in pretty damn good shape considering how old they are. I'll be asking questions about those, and hopefully in the future with more games I get! John's Sanyo EZ monitor re-cap / rebuild video on YouTube helped me through doing that kind of thing for the first time. It's awesome getting more into this hobby and learning more about arcade restoration & repair, including the electronics side of things. Big thanks to John and everyone here for being awesome!
