Hello Everyone,
I figured it's time I introduce myself.
I just started i this hobby only a few weeks ago.
I was a big arcade kid back in the 80's.
My friend in Phx was downsizing and he had an old Galaga cocktail game that I would play when I was at his house from time to time. I told him I had first dibs on the game if he ever sold it. Well this year he decided to let me have it. I picked it up for a few houndred dollars and brought it home. It was an original cocktial Galaga that had never been touched. It booted only once in 8 tries or so. So their began my internet search for arcade parts and help. I soon became an Galaga fool buying new power supplies, RAMS, ROMS and enhancment kits.
Now the game works great.
My wife soon said that if I had my favorite game she wanted hers...Mrs. PacMan. So theat morning I was searching Craigslist and found a all Original upright cab near me in Palm Springs. Called the guys and within a few hours I picked it up. Well it needed a little TLC so I replaced the CPO overlay and installed an original PacMan joystick. The micro switch one was killing me. Found Mike Doyle's 96n1 kit and now the kiddos all love playing it every night.
Now I'm looking at a
game....dose this ever end?
I've already bought more spear parts than I need.
