Hi my names Chris ,
 I've collected video games an comics all my life ,now at 48 my nostalgic side has turned to arcade machines.
I currently own an Asteroids an Dig Dig  and built my own Mrs Pac-Man cocktail  out of real wood an stain from blueprints I found online about a year ago . My current plan is to build my own defender /mame machine from scratch  with interchangeable control panels using cat 5 cable.
My next goal is to visit Galloping Ghost Arcade n Chicago  in the next month .
John you need to you tube this arcade

Good people here. I am sure you can find all the info you need.

Regressing with retro video games is the best. Maybe even better when all the arcade cabinets are set to free play and you don't need to beg your parents anymore for quarters ;). Welcome.

I might attempt to build my own Galaga machine, hope you won't mind lending advice to me.
