Been watching John's Arcade on YouTube for a while and thought I'd pop into the forums instead of spamming YouTube.

About me?  I mostly dabbled in electronics as a kid and got serious into computer programming at a young age.  After school I worked as an assistant tech in an arcade and repaired many machines before I really knew too much about electronics.  I learned a lot from many people there about arcade machines and played way too much in my off time.  From there I moved to audio engineering and repaired, restored and designed many audio boards and linear power supplies for mixers, PA systems and musical equipment.  I then moved from there back to programming in C++ where I now spend most of my time, but I still like to go back to my favorite arcade machines every now and then.  I do occasionally get calls from friends and family that own arcade machines to come and do repairs but its never anything too complicated or interesting.  So to me the John's Arcade videos can get really interesting and fun. ;)

Well, time for work...  Can't wait for more. ;)

Sorry, no pics.  I still don't have a phone with a camera on it and back then I don't think anyone had one. Tongue
