Title: Hello from Amersfoort, Holland
Post by: Reboot on May 09, 2012, 02:23:07 PM
Hoi everyone, I'm Yungle and come from Amersfoort, a town nearby Utrecht. Just started out with this hobby and I'm a reaaal noob with electronics. But love arcade games from the eighties/nineties (my era, yes I'm from '68), the games nowadays are nice but you can't just play it a few rounds, have to play at least a few houres without being interupted and are more complicated.

Finally got some time and room for a few cabs so I bought some, all with problems but cheap? (< 150 euro)
Always wanted to learn some electronic so I jump in..

Been lurking here and other forums a few months now and decided to register here because there are many dutch people here on this forum and with many questions on my side it's more practical I think then on some american forum, but maybe in the future... (lot's of knowledge there).

The cabs I own are:

Operation Thunderbolt (guns won't vibrate), 2 universal cabs with galaga and rygar (nonworking?), twinline neogeo (screen sometimes rolls up)

Welcome here. As Etienne said, there is a lot of knowledge here, technical and otherwise (check out Superully´s restoration proijects, he is great with woodwork).
 
It´s great to have another Dutchman on board, I suppose that we will meet in September, at Eurocade.

Not that i know of, the seller named David brought it to me, lives somewhere around Leiden (zoeterwoude) i think, but he has a gamble business and has placed a few slot machines in Amersfoort.
