Title: G'day All
Post by: AusWoody on January 26, 2012, 09:44:43 PM

Hi guys, I've been lurking around here for 6 months now and thought I had better drop in and say Hi.

I'm a 37 year old Australian and am an 80's (and early 90's) arcade fan :D

The cabs I have at the moment are Golden Axe upright, Silkworm upright, World Rally upright, Point Blank upright, Crazy Kong cocktail and an Atomiswave with a 60-1. Also an Austin Powers Pinball ;)

I am in the process of importing a dedicated universal Mr. Do! from the USA and collecting the parts to scratch build a DK and Gyruss.  Also on my list to build "dedicated" uprights, even though though they were kits, are flying shark and exerion.

In my chase for the missing artwork, I have come up with everything i need except the 2 CPO's for Flying Shark and Exerion.  I was chatting with Anthony from Quaterarcade who says he had a NOS exerion CPO and sold it to a collector in Spain. :( Oh well, I will keep on looking.

Anyway, that's the short story about me, Great site guys, I love the road trip threads and of course the scratch build threads (Scr33n, love your work mate)

Cheers,

Thanks guys for the welcome :D

I'll grab some pics of the cocktail, but we did not get much in the way of cabinets down here. It's a generic (Taito clone) cocktail with a crazy kong board in it.
