Re: Happy New Year! Whats doing?

There is an amazing amount of support; information and parts-wise for all these games on the net. It makes collecting a lot easier.

I'm surprised your house hasn't been taken over by games yet? Everyone else seems to adhere to the "betcha can't eat just one" mantra.

It's up and running! Holds about 100 people from what I heard. :eek:

The whole mountain was closed one day due to an avalanche that buried one and killed one. Then they opened part of it the next day. They had another slide that hit the restaurant mid-way down, and closed it. I guess it blew out the windows and hit some ski patrol folks in there. Nasty winter this year!

My luck after 2 beers, I'd hit .07 and get nailed, so I drank soda instead....

Today I'm building 3 arcade game cabinets in my shop like these:

Do you sell these then?

Yes, along with restorations on old pinball machines, video games and a few jukeboxes. My buddy's and me go on "warehouse raids" where we'll buy the contents of old Operator's warehouses, then we divide them up, restore them and take them to auctions around the country.

Usually we'll fit in a couple of days of sight seeing, a couple of years ago we spent 5 days in Pigeon Forge, TN and hiked part of the AT and ran the Pigeon Forge river.

Our little group of collectors has been together almost 15 years so there are plenty of long running jokes and pranks between us.
