I like projects. Projects tend to be cheap. I can deal with that

First game: fireball home edition for $100
2nd: Gorgar for $200
3rd: darling for free
4th and 5th: a pair of Judge Dredds for $3000
6th: Super Mario for $1300(it's on route)
7th and 8th: a pair of blackouts for $1800
9th: Munsters premium for $6500(it's on route)
10th: Joker Poker solid state for free
In addition, there are two major projects crawling towards completion: a custom scared stiff and a homebrew stranger things(based on a modified Williams Flash)
So, while I got close to a NIB(Munsters was a show purchase), I mostly like to bring them back to life.
I'm putting one of the Blackouts together right now. It was missing a drop target(and it was the wrong generation anyway). I had one from Flash and another I bought for parts, and I was able to get them both cleaned up and working again. I love it when I can do something like that.
I recapped the power board, and I'm currently waiting on the new 40 pin interconnect to get the MPU and driver boards working again.
I can't even let playfields go. I have a beat up Gulfstream that my son is retheming and converting to solid state(it probably should have gone on the list above, since I picked it up for $100 falling apart). And there is a sad, dead Space Invaders PF waiting in the rafters for its day to rise again.
