Sorry if someone has already started a thread on this. Thought might be nice to see everyone's games and also get a Youtube link to there channel. Here is a link to mine here in Oklahoma, My arcade is in a stand alone building next to my workshop.

Yea, Love the Journey! Probably my favorite game. Took a lot of scrambling to round up the parts but was well worth it!

Thanks guys! Most were brought back from the converted dead. When I go on a warehouse raid, I'm looking for bits and pieces. You should see my parts room I built in my shop. I even have a trash can for wiring that was stripped from converted games. We have pieced together wiring harnesses from the can and they look exactly like original. You never know what you will need!

And yes, Anyone passing through Oklahoma is welcome. Just give me a shout, We have another 50 or so working machines in mine and in my son's shop. Always have a few dupes for sale or trade!

GTFO!!!

I pretty much need the whole control panel. Overlay, joystick, etc. I have a control panel now that is swiss cheese. It has like 20 holes in it. It's missing everything. No CPO, no joystick, no harness, and it needs to be repaired.

I was gonna keep the cabinet JAMMA I think and just run the JROK. Unless I could find a cheap original PCB setup with harness, etc.

Original cpo looks Bad Ass! willis has a faucet on it and it's cool too.

You can build a journey out of a bump & jump. All you need to do is change the angle of the bezel and change the speaker board. B&J only has 1 speaker. Art from Rich and put a computer in it.
Presto instant fun!
