Hi, I'm new to the club of owners of full size arcade games... But I think I'm already addicted!
I'm a child of the 80's, and have wanted to have a full size Donkey Kong machine since day one.
I recently picked up a "X-Men vs. Street Fighter" game on the cheap from CraigsList. Then, just a few days later, I got a Taito "Space Invaders Part II" (Cocktail), simply because it was a good deal.
I figured since I was finding some good deals, that I should look for a Donkey Kong specifically. I didn't take long. I found a Donkey Kong (no sound), and a Time Pilot (nearly perfect all the way around) as a set for a good price as well. OMG! Where did all these things come from?!! Where the heck am I going to put them?!!
Oh, how could I forget, about an hour ago, I bought a Popeye that I go pick up tomorrow.
Is there any hope for this addiction? Do I even really want to be helped?
Well, anyway, hello everyone!! Just thought I'd introduce myself... I'm Lance! Nice to meet you all.
;D

I got some work to do, but they're all playable as-is.
I also just got an e-mail from Bob Roberts letting me know that he cross-shipped my audio cap kits for DK and Popeye, so they should be here on Wednesday!! Hopefully, I'll have working sound on both before the weekend is over!!

Yeah, sideart rocksssssss!!! ;D
Yep, and in awesome conditions !!! :-*

Thank you! I was VERY pleasantly surprised by how nice the Time Pilot looked when I got there to pick it up. It's in GREAT shape. The art on the other side is just as complete, and nearly as good - it's slightly sun faded - but not bad at all.
Save for the few bits of rust in the pics, the only thing really wrong with it is the screen is pretty burned. But even so, the colors are good, and game play is not affected at all.

Would be better to post your pics viewable in the thread. I think most people won't go through clicking all the links ( I know I hate to do it...)

OMG!!!
It's been how long now? 6 weeks? Less?
I picked up a DK jr. last weekend, and I'm driving a couple hours tomorrow to pickup a Ms. Pac Man. I think I'veBut lost my mind.
I don't even have room for the Ms.!!!
But, I guess it's too late now! LOL

Do not worry, I was asking me the same question for my Galaxian Theater :P :P :P
The first ArcadeLifeStyler rule is : If you have the opportunity to buy a cabinet you really want, there's no more question to ask about it now! DO... and think later about 'details' ;D ;D ;D
Take care on the road, and do not forget to take your camera with you for your road trip story to come here ::) :P
