Greetings to all. I am new to the forum. Thanks Darth for your help with the registration.

Donkey Kong
Pac-Man
Joust
Black Tiger

I especially like Scr33n scratch build projects, the one the blew me away was the red Donkey Kong cab considering DK was the first game I've played back in 1981 in Canada. Most of the work in here is AMAZING and Hat's off to all you guys.

Glad you finally find the way to come in... welcome on board, Retro74!  ;)

Thanks Darth for your warm welcome. I am slowly working on my very own DK upright blue cab scratch build and a Pac Man cab as well. Considering it is hard to come across an original cab and pretty expensive to ship one in. I have managed to get my hands on a midway coin door, and an original nintendo coin door from the States, the only problem was that the midway was without the frame. So I used a circuit board door frame (similar to the ones we have in the house). I have restored both doors, not perfectly but am very satisfied with my result. It's a slow forth project that I do want to complete but because of the crisis right now jobs have become scarce. When we get into the swing of the things once again It is the first thing on my priority list. Bezel, Marquee, control panel and all the art work have been done from cutting the polycarbon plexi by hand to printing on a simply ink jet printer. 

Thanks again for welcoming me.
