So it all started with wanting the same pinball game since the mid 1990's I have never seen it for sale and shelling out $2000 for any OTHER pin wouldn't work for me.
I still haven't got the pinball game (Balley's World Cup '94 if you were wondering).
I eventually found MAME, and thought I should put this in a cabinet - as I started to research the idea, I found out about 60 in 1's and JAMMA and before I knew it I was looking for an old cabinet.
My FIRST machine was SUPPOSED to be me gutting it. It was an obscure game from 1987 called Solar Warrior (Xain'd Sleena - Japan) it was in a
Jr cabinet.
I got a good
and ended up getting it all going eventually... My 61 in 1 card sat on my desk waiting...
Then I got a great
on an Asteroids Cabinet! It is in MINT condition Probably spent less than 6 months in an arcade and has been in a private collection ever since!
Turns out I bought it on Asteroids 35 birthday! Irony! Pew Pew Pew!
Today I bought Atari's Tetris in a Dynamo cabinet... Very clean and the guy practically gave it to me...
All this is Johns Arcades' fault! All I wanted was an empty cabinet so I could throw in a 60 in 1 and an old LCD and voila!
Then I subscribed to his channel... Now I have to think about what to watch - Walking Dead OR Journey Restore #46?? John in Hong Kong or Sons of Anarchy?
At least I have a wife who is supportive of this back breaking collection I started.
Anyway, Hi Everyone!
