Hi to all you great fanatics here...
« on: August 22, 2011, 04:46:14 PM »
Before posting away I thought I should at least say hi, so : hi everyone. :-)

I have been following this forum for a couple of weeks and think that this must be one of the best arcade communities out there. Many great people with amazing talent. Some of the restorations and custom builds here simply blew me away. So thanks for the inspiration.

That being said, I don't own a cab yet, apart from some nice pcb's, but I'm hunting around...and the future gameroom is being painted at the moment, even though I'm getting worried about the choice of colours.  :?

So, greetings from Luxembourg.

Belike

Thanks.

Not many so far, was more into collecting Atari 2600 stuff.

Ghosts n' Goblins
Ghouls & Ghosts
Rush n' Attack
Hyper Sports

Thats all for now. Would like to house the two Ghosts games in the same cabinet.

Side arts would be great. I have the CPO. What I need is the control panel itself if you have one?
Or plans of one to rebuild it? (my father in law is a "metalworker")

Do you finish restoring yours? I would love to see it one day.

welcome to the board, zapposh (whatever your real name is)!

finally a fellow countryman here! "fellow countryman? what the heck is the GERMAN ully talking about?", you might be wondering. well, what you guys didn't know up to now is that my father is from luxembourg and therefore i am not only half luxembourger, but i also have a dual citizenship (back in the days when this was still possible) / dual passports. 8)

not that this has been of any use to me up to now, but who knows, it might come in handy in the future (when i deposit all my money on banks in luxembourg :P)!
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

Thanks guys :-)

In fact I saw the Eurocade advert banners some time ago, and thought "great, I'll go!" . Then I saw that it was "for the big boys" who bring along some of their lovely treasures, and that it's not really for guys with an atari 2600 pacman in his pocket. Oh well... :-)
But I'll surely come to the next one if I can get a machine or two up and running. And I hope that is soon...

Superully, dual nationality is ok again. All you need to know to get around in Luxembourg is: "Een Mini wann ech glift, an eng Mettwurscht mat Moschtert!"  :wink:
