I'm new to the forum, so hi all!

Not completely new to the hobby, I have built a galaga cabinet in the past for my son and am now working on an SI2 cocktail that has been sitting here for years now.
I had some pcb's and acquired about 40 a few months ago, which I am repairing now. Still do repairs on other retro computers and also retro consoles.

Hi everyone, my name is Nathan, but everyone calls me Tathan, Mickey or even Pepito (yeah, it's not easy to have an english name when you come from Spain).

I live in Belgium, and I've been messing around with arcade for the last 15 years, and just made the stape to get my own arcade a couple of months ago. When I was younger, my parents had a lot of jukeboxes and arcades at home. My grandpa was a big fan of coin amusement machines. But we lost a big part in a fire, and had to sell a lot of things to counterbalance our loss.

Now I only have a nonworking Wurlitzer and Chewlix that I ordered from Alibaba... but man, I'm decided to rebuild my old grandpa's empire! Even if it takes some time and craaaaazy money (yayayayaya) ;)

Hi, I'm retrogaming lover and since few years I'm in Arcade, especially japanese Candycab.

I went to a restaurant 3 years ago, and I had a nice chat with the owner who is an ARCADE LOVER . You can also play different candies and of course you can eat many taiwanese /french dishies.
After spending hours in his place, I 've decided to get my first cab!

Today I have 2 candies and one of them was a mess to repair.... Chassis was out of service, then the CRT (yes the tube was like super blurry) So I had to find a new chassis and a new japanese tube in 25" and you know that there are not very common.

Now everything is working fine!

Have fun everyone.

Hi all!

Arcade and pinball collector here. Started out mostly pinball but lately been branching more into dedicated arcades.

Would say my most unusual home games are Spin Fever 2 (full size Japanese medal pusher game) and a horseshoe Derby Owners Club.

Hey, I'm 500_pts,

Been into arcade stuff for a number of years, but only recently got more serious about it. I ended up getting my first cab maybe 6 months ago and have been on a tear since. Anyways, I'm exploring the frontier, and look forward to chatting with you all :D

Hi! I'm ChainSwordCS, I'm super interested in video game research and documentation. I'm kind of a lurker on forums, and I might not be active here, so I hope my account isn't automatically purged. I actually created this account so I could touch up one or two articles on the wiki, like https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Triforce.

Hello from Canada!

Finally got a house and can pursuit my dream of having a small arcade of candy cabs. Been wanting once since 2008, but such is life in Toronto.
