It was a cheap fake death, they did it again with Finn pulling an independence day and flying into the giant laser.

I wanted Finn and  Rey to kiss, not rose

Aww poor Rose. I bet shes freaky in the sack. I honestly thought she was a lesbian at first, since has started doing this diversity thing the last few episodes.

Leia using her force powers to mary poppins her way back into the ships bridge....

Yeah, that was kinda weird. Cause they never really had her using the force before. I was like whaaaaa? I thought maybe someone else was using the Force to pull her back in

So? First impressions? Things you were disappointed in? Did it answer all your questions you had? Discuss....

Looking for any of the following parts for a Ms. Pacman upright cabinet

- Glass Bezel
- Marquee
- Control panel (with or without joystick/buttons)

I'd prefer original if possible, they don't have to be perfect, but not completely trashed either.

Welcome! Be sure to swing by the Shoutbox from time to time, usually lots of folks handy to help out with technical issues, give advice, or have a laugh!

My Wabac ramp is generally ok, but has a tiny hairline crack. Going to be installing some cliffy ramp protectors, and hopefully that'll get me a lot of years out of it. But would also be good to starting lining up a replacement for it in case it ever blows out. NOS, repro, whatever.. if its intact, and not a million dollars, i'd be interested. Pointers to an ad elsewhere, or to some online shop that sells the part (has it in stock) would also be greatly appreciated. it seems some repros were done a number of years back, but they may have all sold out.

Cheers!

Looking to replace a few buttons on my DK Jr cocktail that were slightly melted. I don't need the whole button/micro switch assembly, just the 1 green and 1 blue button caps. If you have some you could part with, or know a company that has both the blue and green in stock, I'd be interested. Found that ArcadeFixIt has just the green in stock, but no blue.. but they do have a blue with the switch assembly. So worst case scenario, I'll just do that.

looks like a monitor playing a slideshow of some sort to me.

Howdy. Former New Brunswicker here. Lived just south of Grand Falls from a little town called Perth-Andover. Left there in 97 and currently in Alberta.

Always thought it would be cool to have an arcade at home when I was a kid.. now that I am grown up and have some disposable income, I can build one myself! Just started collecting recently and started out by purchasing a 2 player WWF WrestleFest that happened to be in a Joust Cabinet. I have decided to restore the cabinet to a Joust machine, and so far I've started stripping the paint and ordered reproduction Bezel and Marquee. Planning a full paint and stencil job on it for the spring. Hardest part seems to be finding the Joust boards, but the JRok multi Williams looks interesting if I can pull that off. collected a few other PCBs in the meantime, nothing interesting. Got myself a PGA Tour cabinet for 25 bucks that had a perfectly working monitor in it that I've added some joysticks to for my kids to play games on through Mame. I'm slowly warming my wife up to the idea that I could have a few more cabinets in the basement.... so far shes let me stick the massive PGA cabinet in the main level of the house, so that's a good start... I think!

Met lots of interesting people selling arcade related stuff in my own town through classifieds (we use Kijiji here in Canada-land)... just bought a board and some old leaf switch joysticks and buttons/switches from a guy who purchased over 150+ machines from an operator and flipped it all, and he still had a boatload of miscellaneous parts. Seem to be a lot of guys restoring stuff here, so its hard to find a decent cab worthy of a restore for a reasonable amount of money... but I check the classifieds a few times a day hoping to score that killer .

I would be interested in meeting up with other arcade enthusiasts in the area to do trade or share tips and resources.
