Title: Greetings from Kansas Post by: WindowsLM on February 05, 2014, 01:08:07 am Hey everyone!
I discovered this site during the Pac-Man restore and since then I have enjoyed going back and watching the older vids. The classic arcade games are getting fairly tough to find in my area so earlier today, since I was snowed in under about 14 inches of snow, I decided to buy an original Ms. Pac-Man machine. It's always been my classic game of choice and I don't have the knowledge of inter-workings of arcade machines yet so I thought it better than attempting a restore of one on my first go around. I do hope to learn and plan to install a save kit here soon. :) Thanks so much for having a community like this!

The only auction site I was able to find hasn't been updated since 2012. Title: Re: Greetings from Kansas Post by: WindowsLM on February 05, 2014, 03:34:34 pm Welcome to the forum!

I'm just south of Tulsa and in the past have searched for newbies to pass on parts and cabs. I have given away loads of stuff! Give me a shout, Might be worth a road trip in the future.

Rob I live in Topeka, so fairly close compared to some. That would be cool. After I started watching John's videos about restorations and proper maintenance I'm sure I could never get to many parts lol |
