Hi. I'm smarty...
« on: August 25, 2013, 08:00:02 PM »
Hi all, I'm Martin and I live in the UK.

Quick introduction as I've been registered on the site for a fair time now. I've been collecting Arcade cabs/games since the late 90's and have plenty of love for late 70's & early 80's Atari games and Mid 80's Sega dedicated cabs. I'm on a few of the UK arcade forums so you may have seen some my posts there. As always with this hobby I never have enough space for all my wanted cabs. I'm currently at full capacity in my small converted garage and have promised myself that I'll complete my current restorations before buying anything else. Yeah right!

Cheers, Mart.

Here's a few photos of my games.

My small Garage arcade. The working side.




Pole Position as I got it.



Pole Position after lots of work.



My Fire Truck in need of rescue.



Current Restoration progress with the seat.



Cabs I currently own:
Atari Centipede Cabaret - Fully working
Atari Tempest Cabaret - Monitor fault but requires restoration to bring it up to standard. Back of the queue for restoration.
Atari Pole Position Midi - One of my current projects, now fully working with some remaining cosmetics to complete restoration.
Atari Fire Truck - Again an Ongoing restoration, planning to be completed early next year.
Subelectro Hunchback - The bottom was rotten so I rebuilt it. Currently running Pac-Land at the moment as the Hunch back has a faulty board set.
Lethal Enforcers - Audio fault on game board, fully working otherwise.
Sega Hang-On Upright- I've owned this cab twice, good condition and fully working.

Previously owned cabs
Atari Asteroids Cabaret
Atari Missile Command Cabaret
Couple of no-name Jamma cabs
Popeye Pachislo
Sega Outrun Mini
Midway Space invaders

Welcome here of course and also to the club (of the guys who swear they won't buy another cab until their actual cabs are fully restored)  ;)
