Harry dude whats up glad to see your finally in here!

Also welcome to the rest of the new guys that have not been welcomed. We are friendly folk have fun!

Hello, my name is Kin.
I own Sega New Net City and Capcom vs SNK Naomi rom.
I plan to use the cabinet as Hyperspin machine, so I am studying how to make it works.

Hello! I'm Konstantin from Moscow! I own Sega Naomi Universal Cabinet, but it doesn't have coin mechanism and I need one right now, so I'm trying to find parts here. I also own several other cabs: initial D Arcade Stage Ver.3, Para Para Paradise 2nd Mix, Beatmania IIDX 13 Distorted, Pop'n Music 14 Fever and DDR SuperNOVA converted to ITG. Glad to join the community of arcade owners!

Hello,

I am from the USA. Several years ago I got into serious console collecting. I own nearly every console (missing a few extreme rare cases), and was wondering where to go next. I've always loved arcades and arcade gaming, so naturally I moved into some serious MAME setups. I recently built one of those little Pi3 powered bartops, and run some MAME classics on there.

But I needed more. Real hardware has always been my true passion. So here I am, I am now just starting to get into actual arcade hardware. I purchased some Lindbergh PCs some time in the past, a Naomi main board recently, and even have a real Virtua Cop 3 cab arriving today (I love gun games), woohoo!

I come here because I barely have any understanding of what I'm doing, and don't want to blow myself up or ruin my stuff.

Apologies in advance for all the horrible super noob questions I will be asking

Hello,

I'm looking into collecting older arcade systems and learning how to work on them (for repair / modification), mostly because of a long time interest in fighting games. I also collect / play older console games and systems.

Not really haha, I bought few when I went to Japan few years ago

Just a lost Texas beardo hungry to find my first arcade machine.

Specifically dreaming of an LCD candy cab (Namco Blanc, Lindbergh, cheap Vewlix, etc.) A humble corner of arcade bliss. My dream.

Very much hoping to find guidance on that, plus maybe meet some like minded arcade geeks along the way.

I wandered in here when no one was looking, have no idea how any of this works, and I'm touching stuff on the shelves unsupervised.
