I came to the realization that of the games I own, the Omega Race upright doesn’t get much play. I’m looking to trade it for a Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man or Galaga machine. You can find plenty of pictures of the game in the Omega Race photo gallery. Where two cabinets are pictured, [...]

All American Football - Paint & CPO
The new control panel overlay arrived today from Mame Marquees. I have had a marquee printed there before but never a control panel overlay. I have to admit, I’m very impressed with the quality.

I maintain a “log” on each machine I restore and keep track of the total spent on new parts and how many hours have gone into the restoration. Since the Dig Dug restoration is essentially complete, with [...]
