Title: New to the Forum and Arcade Games
Post by: commwagg24 on September 18, 2013, 02:40:32 PM
Hi Guys,

I found this Forum while I was searching for some answers about fixing some of the games I just recently purchased and had to join because of the cool topics that I found.  I recently purchased 4 games from a guy that had them in storage at his house.  I bought; World Series Baseball, that I believe is in a Defender Cabinet, Centipede that looks to be in an original cabinet, Tiger Road which I think is in just a generic cabinet and Kanomi GT racing in an original cabinet.

My plan is to;
Clean up the Centipede cabinet, the game works will but the cabinet has seen better days, the only issue is the the  1 player 2 player buttons that don't always light up and activate when you turn the game on.
Kanomi GT needs a lot of work, it was working when I first got it but now it loads to a diagnostic screen and says the ram is bad.  I don't know what I am going to do with this yet.
Tiger Road I was thinking about putting a 60-1 board into this on over the original board, the game works well but isn't that fun.  I wasn't going to add buttons, I would really just like to have MS. Pacman and Space Invaders in it.
World Series I think I will just clean up the cabinet.  The game works and is a lot of fun with 2 people playing.  I am going to try and find the stat sticks for this game so some of my friends can keep track of all of their stats.

Please let me know if you think I am nuts on any of my plans otherwise I look forward to sharing my projects with you guys.

Thanks
Bill

Hi there...please don't add buttons or do somthing like that.

In addiction of your home you will certainly find somebody who takes the Tiger Road and gives you a TV Ideal or some other cabinet for drilling and changing everything ;-)
probably with the 60 in 1 within
