Donation made! Best of luck with the campaign. I'll be in Vegas in a month so plan to contribute directly via coin drop as well.

I think about that a lot. You'd need people with a bunch of different skill sets and knowledge in different eras. Board work, EM, solid state, restoration, etc. That said, I'd think you could get a good team of five individuals covering all eras for half a million. Use them to train the team of volunteers. Whether that would be enough to make a dent in the backlog is a good question. Another question is would the newly working games earn enough to make the investment in technicians make financial sense.

Seems like a lot of money, but I'd think the investment would be worth it. Brian Kelly, Christopher Hutchins, Chris Hibler... Tim needs you.

I have a buddy here in Houston who has helped countless members in the community with their games for years. I'd love nothing more than to hit the lottery and pay him a large salary to keep doing the same on a full-time basis.
