E-mail Lost
Jul 21st
I had a site reader e-mail me some questions over the weekend about Omega Race. Somehow, the e-mail got deleted before I had a chance to respond. If you happen to read this, please send your e-mail again.
XBox Frustrations
Jul 18th
Not really arcade related but I came home from work on Wednesday and fired up the XBox 360 to unwind for a bit. Instead of being greeted with the main dashboard, I was presented with a message to contact customer support in about 30 different languages and the error code of E 74. Of course the warranty expired in March, so it will now be repaired on my own dime.
A Brief Update
Jul 15th
There is not a whole lot taking place on the restoration front right now. I simply don’t have time. Although the All American Football cabinet still needs new t-molding, I’m tempted to dive into a full blown restoration of either Donkey Kong or Track & Field. Right now, I’m leaning towards the Track & Field restoration.
I’m also working on acquiring another non-working game. I haven’t committed yet, but the price is right and it’s not too far away. The only problem is working out the details of a pickup as my calendar is pretty full for the next few weeks and I’m not sure how long the current owner would be willing to hold onto it for me.
For those that are interested, there haven’t been too many updates to the site as I recently attending a week long conference in Florida and just returned Sunday from a week long vacation in South Carolina. More >
