hi guys .

Sorry for being a bit inactiv lately but I am looking for a new job and it took me a lot of my time and energy . With the pals from the association we also have finished the extension of the warehouse and now we have enough place to work properly .



It was also fthe occasion for me to bring the cab from oldschool and Spectroman to the warehouse .



As I took 1 week holydays I decided to start to work on our galaxian .










the cab need some serious cleaning

a picture to compare .


as the cpo is rusted I will have to polish it and make some paint job . First I had to get  rid of the former overlay using a hair dryer



lets get rid of that rust .










I will need your advices later on how to restore the 2 way joystick .

that's all for now as I had to go to a Road trip .  stay tuned

Hi guys Long time I did not post a road trip . This weekend I was in the alpes to see my family . It was also the occasion to make a road trip for a friend that live in south of france .

So in  this road trip i made about 1000 km with a lot of traffic jam under the snow and some crazy road in the mountain.





This time my RT mate will be my wife and it is her first time . She did not knew what she was getting too and for sure she will remember it . 

Itinerary is
chalon sur saone -> Cluses to see my grand parents
Cluses -> Bourg st maurice to get some spare part for a  GORF.








The itinary on the map look weird as I got some issue with the snow on the road . Some road in the mountain were blocked and I had to change my way . 

After 3 hours and a half of drive instead of 2 I arrived at Bourg st Maurice to get the gorf's parts.

As i was 90 minutes late I did not took many pictures.

Now lets get back to Albertville to pick up a cab this time

We load the cab in the car and 5 minutes later we are on the road again as I promised to my wife that we will go skiiing . (waf point +1 ) 






The beast is pretty heavy and I will have to unload it as my grandparents place since the road is difficult with the snow .




My grand parents saw the cab and were desperate (face palm time ) .




1 hours later we are in the mountain for this view .






After all that job I need some rest and deserve a nice meal. 



The next day I have to load  the cab in the trunk again but alone . Damit this cab is damm heavy for an upright .






As you see we had to play tetris a little bit to fit eerything in it . 

Back at home I put the cab between the kitchen and the WC as I do not have (yet) anymore place free (waf - 1 )




likely for me I will deliver the cab in Avignon (south of france ) next weekend . (Waf +1) .

hi folks,

Lately I was not really active here as we are preparing with the guys from the association the Bougogne game show .




It is this weekend and there is going to be about 150 machines . 50 % pinball / 50 % arcade


I post here the pic from tonight as we are starting to install the machine



I post a lot of pics when i get time

stay tuned

Yesterday we were again in Road trip .
Since 2 weeks we are almost only movign cab and pinball to one warehouse to another .

6:00 AM wake up . Dammit even for work i do not do that
8:30 we arrived at Kinou89 place and jump in the truck.

this time we go again to an unknow place . we know only that there is about 10 pinball in an attic

we were quiet surprise when we arrived there and saw that  






We were thinking that it was going to be an easy job . Just some stairs and job will be done but no  



ahhhhhhh! here are the Pins


It is difficult to walk there . I threw away an iron and an ironing board to acces to an iron board .
I put the iron board on the floor in order to close the big hole we have on the floor .
we start to throw stuff away to make our way .
Issue is that in order to extract the pins we have to create place .  
we move a jukebox and push a little bit the gorf.



a blue shark ! great that one is easy to access I know someone that will be happy


nicogéo inspect it


We get Pins out


It was a pain in the ass to move those pins with 3 people only so no picts guys . Stairs were rotten so we make it fast to avoid to get all on the head .

the pins out we start urbex mode






How want a chocolate ?




Some Fruits for the dessert ?












the loading




Kinou89 start to yell at us : " Kids get back here we have to go "

We drive back to kinou's place as here wife wait us for diner and made us a nice meal

We have some beer and we play his pinball and it is already 2 in the morning

Dammit i forgot to call my wife as we were to much excited by ours find . We have to drive back
