Disney Quest

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 [...]

Miscellaneous News

I’ll have a post tomorrow or Wednesday concerning a new addition to the game room.  Any guesses?   If you already know, your guess doesn’t count!
The basement is progressing nicely.  I finished framing the exterior walls and am now framing the lone interior wall that runs along a portion of the beam.  I’ve decided that the bar [...]

The Basement Project

Some of you may remember my post from November, detailing the removal of the old carpeting which had been glued to the concrete floor in my unfinished basement.  After many weekends, the carpet and stubborn adhesive has finally been removed.  The plan is to turn a portion of the unfinished basement into a family room [...]

No Time For Restorations

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 [...]

A Brief Update

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 [...]

E-mail Lost

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

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. [...]

A Brief Update

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 [...]

Game Night….Part 1

Well, there’s not a lot taking place on the arcade restorations.  I’ve come to the conclusion that spring and summer are too busy for me to dedicate time to my projects.  Between kid’s baseball games, swimming, soccer, business trips and vacation there just isn’t enough time (not to mention work itself).  I guess that is [...]
