Well as I break into the arcade side of colleting, it`s time to start putting up all related stuff here
I will add the Donkey Kong manual and all others that I have for anyone that needs them, arcade links and pictures. I have always wanted an arcade machine and now I have a mini arcade in the basement. As I learn more about them I have found out that they are not too hard to work on. I will have to redo my main page as it`s getting to slow for all thats on it. The games I have now are:
Centipede

This game is a 9.5 out of 10. It has great sideart, beutiful picture and only has a small worn spot on the control panel that I will be replacing soon.
I will be adding some good pix of this one and the best part is I only have $91 in it!!
Asteroids Deluxe
This is another near perfect game. The counter has about 4000 plays on it and a perfect picture! It has been sold to a fellow collector, George Torch
Donkey Kong

This one is kinda a fluke. I got the board when I bought my Vs. system and it sat for awhile. I then found a near mint cabinet with a brand new monitor but no boards. I bought the cabinet, slapped my boards in and it fired right up!!! Only need to find some sideart and it will be complete.
Pac-Man
Went to the auction in Columbus Ohio in sept 98 and picked up 2 JAMMA games for under $50 that I traded this for.
Everyone needs a Pac-Man in there collection. Next step is to get the Multi-Pac kit from Clay Cowgill for it
Space Firebird

Another game I picked up at Columbus. Alot like Phoenix but not quite.This one has been sold to a collector
Space Invaders
This one is a great playing machine but needs some TLC to the cabinet. I have started to make new templates to repaint it and need to polish a scratch or two out of the front glass.
BTW I bought this one as a dead machine for $20 and only had to reseat the daughter board and ajust the monitor to get it going!!

The bottom of the cabinet is chewed up a bit and has some tears on the control panel overlay (anyone have a new one for sale?) but the game is sound.
Vindicators

What a great looking cabinet this game is in! It looks like a tank and very unique. This one needed a power supply and have a total of $70 in it. it is near mint. I do need to replace the turett turning buttons but I think I`ve found a place that stocks them.
Mortal Kombat
I coulndn`t pass this game up at $30. The cabinet was in bad shape but I sanded it down and repainted it. now I`m going to have the MK logo airbrushed on the sides
Twin Eagle
I started to clean it up to sell but have to much fun playing it!! it`s a vertical JAMMA so now I can have any JAMMA game I want. I took the plexi off the control panel because of all the burns and it is in great shape.
It does need a cap kit and I`ll try doing it to this one very soon
The Main event
picture
Not a great game but I wanted a JAMMA cabinet, since it is four player at a time.
Simpsons
I am going to convert my Main Event to this game. I have the board in it now, and am looking for the marquee and bezel.
Champion Baseball
picture
I got this one to sell, $75. It plays perfect and looks pretty good. It has a door on the front that opens to slide the board and PS out
Speedway by Chicago Coin
picture
screen shot
This is a very old EM game (all switches and gears, no electronics) that was DOA when I got it for free. I found a wire that was broken and that fixed it! It is hard to keep this one going as it`s from around 1960 but I like to work on it and it is always playable. not 100% all the time. It is in good condition and am looking for more info on it, if you know anything drop me a line.
Nintendo Vs. system
picture
Super Mario Bros.
Golf
Ladies Golf
Gradius
Pinball
Castelvania
Goonies
R.B.I.
Duck Hunt
Hoagans Alley
This was my first arcade game and I paid the most for it, $100. I think it is a great machine to start with since the games are good and very easy to change. It was not my first choice, but will always be a special game for me. Besides Gradius rocks!!
Black Knight
Playfield
Backglass
I got very lucky on this game. It was sitting in a shop a started working in and had been without a glass on it for 5 years. there was stuff piled sky high on it and I noticed the sideart. after taking everything off it it was in pretty good shape. It was complete but a couple common parts. i asked my boss about it and he told me to "get it out of there". It did need a little board work and about $25 worth of lights! The other tech told me he had the backglass at home and would give it to me. Now it sits proudly in my "arcade"!!
Hardbody
Playfield
Backglass
I bought this one at auction. I had been playing it a little earlier in the day when it came up for sale. I wasn`t paying much attension till I heard him say "nobody will give me a hundred on a pinball machine?"
I bid in at $100 and went up to $155 when I got it. after bringing it home and learning more about the gameplay I like it almost as much as BK. The main layout is very much like BK also.
