Quoted from BMore-Pinball:Wish I had the room for that
I wish I had room for that too! Except then I'd fill that room with pins instead. 
Quoted from ZNET:The arcade games currently in my gameroom are all electromechanicals. They are as follows:
1) Kasco Ninja Gun (late 1970s). One minute, unlimited shots, to kill ninja warriors, including holographic ninjas during daylight and at sunset.
2) Sega Gun Fight (1969/70). Mannequin gunfighter puppets and cactus collapse when shot.
3) Sega Monster Gun (1972). I have 2 Youtube videos posted of this fun nylon pellet projectile shooter game. Only two examples of this game are known to exist. Here's a link:
» YouTube video
4) Keeney Deluxe Texas Leaguer (1940s)
5) Chicago Coin Basketball Champ (1947). For sale, by the way. I have the cabinet stencils.
6) Genco Two Player "Super" Basketball (1954)

thanks , I also have a garcade setup, I have a Williams bubbles cabaret prototype, might be the first bubbles ever made. its funny to see many former and current klov, including "pacman" on here. his many wonderful games. small world in the collector community.
there are many many great arcades on this thread, keep the hobby alive. very awesome !
Quoted from Darscot:I have one I made myself. Screen is 21" 4x3 and rotates so all games play in the correct aspect. The sound is very good with a 10" sub. Plays everything from Space Invaders to Dragons Lair has a spinner for Tempest and Arkanoid.
That is a work of art and really awesome. If you ever consider selling it or want to make another one lmk-Good stuff!

Thanks, I wanted something unique but kinda classic. I had lots of help getting it done and paid for it all most completely with beer and favours. It's painted with automotive paint using the original color codes from VW. I could never sell it.

Amazing. My wife love VW buses (huge hippy). I showed her yours and she was like, "can we make one?" Haha. I wish I had your and your friends' talents. Well done sir.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Does anyone own a time traveler? That game is so awesome and weird.

Holy shit. Amazing.

There is going to be one at the MGC this year too. I think it's already sold, but yeah - it's amazing technology. Not amazing gameplay, unfortunately.
You guys who own arcade machines have a ton of contacts in the world of vids/coin operated games. Maybe someone could help me out. I have a badly routed/beat up Pump It Up dance game that is in bad need of new decals. Not just on the platforms but in the cabinet too. Does anyone on here know where to find some?

Dedicated vids are great and some despise the multi-boards ... but I want ALL the games and space is limited. Compromises have to be made. My Asteroids will be replaced with a Space Duel w/ Zector ZVG vector mame. Would love to add a Robotron cabaret and 720.
Pics are a year old but hasn't changed that much.

Quoted from PorkChopExpress:I loved the arcade game APB: All Points Bulletin.
Are these easy to find and what $$$ do they usually go for?apb.jpg
Bump for APB.
image.jpgYes they are pretty easy to find, although a little harder to find with the seat. They don't sell for much - $250 - $450 I'd say.

It was a looker but a stinker for play though...

Wow. Just.....wow!
With your know how I wish you could restore my MACH 3.
Maybe, but I've only restored one laser disc game so far so i don't know a lot about them.

Beautiful. That's my problem no one seems to know much about them anymore. I love that game.
Quoted from Fast-Ed:I saw his games over on Klov before he was banned. I always enjoyed looking at his restores. Most of the cronies over at klov always cried about him remaking cabinets but I thought they looked great. Ed
There were some "purists" (well, one really) who I think was jealous of his work. I read all of his restoration threads as well, and was in awe. Fantastic work. Yes, he remakes cabinets. Yes that may not be "original" but at risk of a cargument.....Is a car a "restoration" of you use replacement body panels?
Things got heated on KLOV more because of terminology. At what point is it a "restoration" rather than a "reproduction"? Who cares really. Life is to short to get so upset about a freaking video game. The fact that Fizz is the "HEP" of the video game world is stunning to me as the games he brings back to showroom quality often have no replacement parts available for them.
I say keep up the good work!

He's a true cabinet maker not some hack using bondo to make an old cab "look" new. I had a few spots on my MACH 3 cab that absorbed water and were swollen, I had to gouge them out and use bondo to fill them in. On the bottom of both sides at the bottom 2-3 inches up were very bad and it still looks like crap and not very strong. Can you imagine the uproar there would be if any of the pin makers started using that MDL or whatever they used on those arcade cabs. 
Fizzs cabs will last 100+ years. I looove his craftsmanship.
Anyone have a bartop like arcade game that can take quarters?
I want to make something like this for a location or two...
P.S. not mega touch, something like a jamma game setup.
fizgig/pacman, just does everything necessary, I'm certain that on some things he has to use bondo, but do it right. I have used bondo on many projects, and if applied and sanded properly, it works very very well. I hear where your coming from though, there are "refurbishers" out there that are destroying cabs while trying to fix them, they end up turning out worse.

You just need to sell that MACH 3 to me and I'll get it up and running and give it a proper restoration!

no more of a stinker than any other Dragon's Lair-style LD game...and certainly more hilarious
Quoted from PACMAN:Just finished this one. Radical Radial

Is that new T-molding?!
Quoted from Aurich:I wish I had room for that too! Except then I'd fill that room with pins instead.
Don't worry there are 10 pins in here also + 3 arcade cabs +100 arcade pcb's from space invaders through to gauntlet legends
Nope, original. Was able to polish it up.
Quoted from pinballsmith:Is that new T-molding?!
Dragons Lair, Super Pac, and Star Wars will be my only dedicated arcades. I need the room for pinball. Getting ready to move my multicade down to the basement to start the wiring. Will play almost all Arcade, Nintendo, Genesis, Super Nintendo, and Daphne games. Will be a 2 player / 6 button setup. Once we move into a new house I will upgrade to a pedistal style with 4 player.
I've got a crossbow, donkey kong, Ivan stewards 3 player off-road, play choice 10, jungle king, 60n1, dig dug, silent scope, bear and moose hunting, ultimate arcade 1, joust, 2,000 and 1 multi cade, dance dance revolution and a wall mount jukebox.

Remade the side art and start button.

When your done with it how much does something like that sell for, if you don't mind me asking.

I've watched PACMAN's restores for a few years now. I have yet to figure out if he plays them, just collects them, resells them, or just hoards them until he can unload them in the future. No judgement here and are some of the best looking games I have ever seen.
