No Time For Restorations
Nov 27th
There hasn’t been much progress with the arcade restorations as of late. I’ve started a new project which has been eating up most of my free time. This new project is somewhat arcade related as I’ve started to finish my unfinished basement. The new, finished space will include a family/TV room, a wet bar and an area specifically for the arcade games.
The previous owners had painted the foundation walls white and put down some berber carpet but not much else had been done. I wasn’t fond of the carpet so before any construction could begin, I decided to remove it. Unfortunately, the carpet was glued to the concrete floor. I initially thought it might just be edge glued, but no such luck. Every square inch of the carpet is glued to the floor. More >
A Brief Update
Nov 7th
Well, there’s not a whole lot taking place with the arcade games right now. I still need to finish the Golden Tee control panel, but I’m having a blast playing it, loose control panel and all. I’ve also been playing Donkey Kong quite a bit lately and have raised my high score to 173,500 (without pressing for points). I’m shooting for 200,000. Things are beginning to slow down a bit so maybe I’ll be able to get some work done over the next few weeks.
