Same as above, I wish I got in years ago. I've always had a nice collection of old video games and even have my boys playing the old stuff from my Atari 2600, NES and on, they love it.  10 months ago my brother was in NYC and sent me a picture of the Barcade and I fell in love and kicked myself for not remembering about them and thinking about buy one. I jumped on CL and my first buy was an Atari Roadblasters in decent shape I probably paid a little to much but whatever. Since them I filled my garage with 10 games, a Cyberball 2072 TE at my mom's house and a Mercs and Blitz 99 at my brothers house I bought everything I could get a decent price on around me or close to my family. Most work but like most could use Cap kits or a new power supply and lots of cosmetic love.  my 2 most important projects from what I have that need to get working are Turbo SF 2 Hyper which I have my 3rd Pcb coming this week and should at least get me to play it, it had a bad C board, the 2nd is a Turbo Outrun that works and plays everything seems to work like the shaker motor but I have sync issues and the chassis is dead but testing it with another chassis I can't get it to sync. I got to get these guys running asap so I can play them SF2 is my all time favorite. Big thanks to John's Arcade video defiantly game me the confidence to get in the game and not be scared by a few problems. My Super Off Road when I picked that up the screen was super yellow, a pedal was stuck in full go, a steering wheel didn't work, it didn't take but 2 hours that Saturday morning to get everything working and playing with my kids Cheesy
