Hey guys, I am on John's forum :p

Im Terry from Philly and really enjoy Johns channel.  I got into arcades from my love of XBOX, which led me to modding my own xbox and because it was a pain to do with newer PC software and dead links for game exploits I started my own youtube channel (terry68firebird) a few years ago which is mostly just tutorials on how to mod your original XBOX.  I then got interested in mame and building/refurbing a discarded Taito cab into a XBOX powered / mame cabinet.
Link to some pics of the taito cab refurbish/conversion to MAME- the cab was on the street with the trash when I got it (I picked up the JB weld tip for patching metal from one of John's videos and used it to patch up the control panel)

I now have a few dedicated cabs (pole position 2, asteroids, and a -actually a street heat conversion from a DK).  And yes,  I will convert that street heat back to a DK ;) I am really enjoying the hands on part of the hobby and love learning all kinds of new stuff (trouble shooting, electronics) and of course I love the gaming bliss that comes with this hobby.

I also love old vinyl and have a jukebox that is on my project list-

Hope to see you around the forum -

Terry

I'm just an average guy, I guess.

You have some fairly thorough videos on Xbox soft-modding.  I haven't did mine as of yet, but It's something I would like to mess with sometime.  Welcome.
