Hi,

Highlights from 2025 include the discovery of a Tortoise marque (possible a copy of Stern Turtles), a dedicated Kick Man monitor glass, and an odd non-Zaccaria Shuttle cabinet running Zaccaria Space Fortress.

Lowlight was the passing of Marino Zaccaria. RIP.

Thanks,

This was the old one I did for the semicircle, eventually I'll do another for the later curved edge ones.

Hi,

A couple of highlights from last year:
 - A complete Phoenix in the unusual early particle board cabinet was discovered (22/02/2023)
 - A lot of cabinets were found and restored, some great collections taking shape!

Nice, thanks!

Heh, if it works, ship it

There are holes in the plastic base that may hint the base can be rotated +45 degrees and the switches moved -45 degrees to allow the hole to be in the 8-way position. Assuming the switch base is separatable from the mount base.

It takes time to heat through, more time than you would think, until it becomes soft to the touch, basically like a rubber sheet. I usually use my fingers to press on it to get to approximately flat and then load it up with books to full flat. Doesn't need a lot of pressure when it's soft.

Folks leaving their cigarettes resting there while they played back in the day

A heat gun on low can be used to soften the plastic and then use a weight to flatten it whilst it cools.

The burn damage, I 've only cleaned mine and not attempted anything more than that. Eventually I may go with a repro, but I'm OK leaving it as battle damage from a life well lived

Paul.
