It all started by buying an Asteroids game from a neighbor. Not that it needed a restoration, but I decided to tinker with the game and replace parts as needed to make it like new and or better. So came the research to make the game 100% authentic, like it came out of the factory in 1979. By doing this restoration, I came across other games for sale at very reasonable prices. Did some clean up to them, made sure they worked, and gave them too friends and family. Just a hobbyist, not a business. Sounds easy? Well not really. You need some special tools, basic tools, and a general knowledge of electronics, wood working, painting, with a lot of patients.
Right now I have over four dozen personal arcade machines, with several other project waiting in the wings. I have met a lot of very helpful resources around town to assist in anything that we're not capable of, but we're a quick learner to tackle the next job. So if you're in need of a game to restore, repair, buy, sell or trade, I will assist you in every way possible.
Also a common thing that I see, is that most arcade collectors are car people too. Here are some of my cars FPM MotorSports Car Gallery to show off to you :)
