Konichiwa!!!

Name's Jon and I live on Okinawa. I grew up in arcades in the 80's and 90's. I have been in Japan for a little over 20 years and have finally decided to buy a cab. G-Balance inbound with a TTX2 and TTX3, there may actually be another TTX2 in the cab...didn't bother to ask because the it was too good of a deal to care.

I hope to learn a lot from you guys and gals as I can't help but tinker with EVERYTHING that I buy :awe:

Hi There!

Started a pinball collection a few years ago and looking to expand the game room! Taught myself a few things with an upright Atomiswave, but really enjoying shmups lately so trying to learn about candy cabinets and getting one to the Midwest.

Hi all, recently fell down the rabbit hole on Vewlix and Vewlix clones. Now I'm currently pricing out a clone with a local importer, building a custom PC and sourcing Taito chairs. Expensive, yes - bringing me back to the childhood I couldn't have, hell yes!

Hoping to gain a lot of knowledge and insight from this forum, and maybe make a friend or two. Thanks for having me.

Heya!

New member here, but lurker for years.
I moved to CA from Paris in 2010. Back there I had a KI2 Arcade Cab with a bunch of PCBs and MVS. I donated most of it to my coworkers.

Starting again recently to get back into the game in California, and got myself a Kyotaro 29" that I am working on restoring https://takoarcade.blogspot.com/

Currently have CPS2, STV and having a Naomi 2 setup and MVS coming up soon

Looking fwd to participating here a bit more!

Hello, everyone!

I'm Joe from TX (USA). I've used PCBs with a Sigma Raijin for a few years, but I've recently picked up a Naomi Universal Cabinet, my first arcade.

I'm looking to find more information about the cabinet from users here, as this cabinet needs some restoration love, and it's a European cabinet in the States :eh:

I have a presence on other forums, but I'm definitely interested in staying here for cab help and camaraderie!

Sounds like an awesome project, good luck. Make sure you document the process if it goes ahead.

Hi there!

The name is Olli.

I'm 32, living in northern Germany. I have a 4 years old daughter.

My first arcade cabinet was a Mk1 empty. I made into a pretty cool Mame cabinet. I also have a universal cocktail table and three pinball machines (Indiana Jones, Terminator and White water).

Newest addition is a Sega Naomi the I'm gonna fully restore and I hope to find some help.

Hope to have a good time here!

Olli

Hi world, mtn a.k.a. coinfeeder here!

Living in Australia, collecting all things arcade & retrogaming, but also synths, vinyl and sneakers.

I have 3 cabinets (New Astro City, Super Neo 29 and Vewlix Clone) + about 60 arcade boards at the very least.

I do Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/fullset_collect/ and https://instagram.com/lecoqspooortive.

And some YouTube'ing here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXhDNE ... NtFeloRkUw

I recently started a brand around "all things collecting" called FULLSET, which includes:

- an app for collectors to discover, track and trade collection items (focusing on arcade stuff right now, let me know if you're on iOS and want an early beta invite)
- a complementary "magazine" at https://fullset.io
- some product prototyping around certain hardware projects (multi jamma enclosures/cabinets), as well as custom/modular furniture, tailored around collectors needs

Everything is pretty much in very early days, with the app being the effort that has mostly advanced right now.

Well, I think that's it for now :)

Cheers!

Hi Everyone,
Nice to meet you.
I'm from El Segundo, CA.
Been collecting since 2002. Stopped cause of life and back cause I was able to fit my cab's into my new place. Mainly a CPS, mvs and AW kind of guy. I work as a sales manager for a popular TCG corporation (not wizards, pokemon or konami).
Hope to contribute to this great forum. :)

New here, but been collecting cabs since 2004. Currently own 2 Blast Citys, a Neo Candy and an Astro City (and many classic US cabs). I'll be looking to you all to help me get my Astro up n' running. I got it all back to together, but the power supply is giving me problems.
