Hi my name is stephen, I am 43 years old and live near hartford/berlin connecticut.
Ive been collecting videogames since i was 11.  First job was in local arcade collecting coins and vacuuming pool tables,
I am a computer and electronics wizard. i also restore vintage cars and have been playing bass guitar since 17.
Currently own 30 videogame systems, Turbografx 16 is my fav.  Currently own 6 arcade machines, 3 are coinops made from 79-81 arcade machines.
I am connected in my area to alot of videogamers and arcade vendors and suppliers. i work part time in a pawn shop and hot rod shop.
My goals this year are to win more car show trophies and go hang out with john at pinfest in allentown this year.

Nice welcome to the forums.

True restoration is an art form. Like any good artist you have to know what your doing. Painting a single line on a canvas and calling it a masterpiece does not fly in restoring a arcade machine. Do it right
