Golden Tee – Control Panel
Oct 27th
I had a bit of free time over the weekend so I decided to apply my custom made control panel overlay to the “new” Golden Tee control panel. As with all good plans, I quickly ran into a few problems. More >
Some Work, Finally!
Oct 9th
Earlier this week I finally moved the “new” Golden Tee cabinet that I picked up last spring into the basement for some work. After the Cardinals loss, er… gift, to the Dodgers last night, I needed something to do so I decided to finally start working on this cabinet. More >

Just a note to all…I moderate all comments on this site. That means your comment on any particular post will not show up immediately. I get notified when a new comment is posted, and either approve it or disapprove. I will not show up on the site unless I have approved it. This is necessary to keep the spam comments from appearing. I receive almsot 100 of those a day. Unfortunately, notifications of new comments have started getting rejected by my e-mail spam filter even though I have it set to allow them. Until I work this out, it might take a day or two for legitimate comments to appear on the site.
Disney Quest
Jul 22nd
There is not a whole lot of news to report on the arcade restoration front. Summer is actually the best time to work on things but a never-ending schedule keeps me from dedicating any significant time to the seemingly endless list of projects. However, I just returned from a 7 day trip to Walt Disney World with the family and had the opportunity to spend a few hours at Disney Quest. Disney Quest is an “indoor interactive theme park” located in Downtown Disney. More >
Another Donkey Kong Machine
May 20th
2 weeks ago I picked up another Donkey Kong cabinet from a high school friend (thanks, Nick!). The cabinet is in good shape and complete with the exception of a monitor. I have a monitor I could use that would require an inverter board, but I’d prefer an original Sanyo 20EZ monitor. I have a couple leads on a monitor but nothing set in stone yet. I planned to use the spare monitor in my Centipede cabinet, which has a serious case of burn-in.
My intention is to run Donkey Kong Jr. in this cabinet. Here’s the question…leave the cabinet original colors, etc. and just run Jr. in it, or completely convert it to a Jr. cabinet with orange paint, new side art, bezel, control panel and marquee? Pictures later.
