My gameroom in this current house is very small so my collection is always rotating. I have sold off a few couple Mame machines I built, a couple 60 in 1s, Mortal Kombat 1&2 restorations. My current collection is my Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo restore, a mini bartop Mame, and a NBA Jam TE that is coming in this week.

I should be into a new house before the summer is out and then I plan to expand my collection greatly.

Thanks, I put quite a bit into that one. A couple guys on KLOV just came up with a CPS2 multi that plugs into an original CPS2 A+B board and can swap games with a remote board. It supports every CPS2 game made so very shortly that Super SF2 cabinet will have the following list of games, all on original hardware! I doubt this machine will ever leave. Almost sold it just recently but the guy interested must have gotten scared by my price which is fine by me.

Then it moved on to the Super SF series:

Yes I did forget to list it, but honestly I hate that board. I had one and sold it. It's also on this multi. The problem I have with the board is that they allowed too much freedom in choice. You can play a SSF2 character vs a SSF2T character. They should have allowed you to choose but restricted both players to choosing from the same game. There are too many balance issues in that game. It was a neat concept, just poor execution imo.

New arcade addition this month is a nice NBA Jam TE. The cabinet was split apart pretty bad but nothing some wood glue and clamps couldn't fix.

Lol, go buy the 60in1 kit from Cajun Arcade for $100, add a 19" Dell LCD for about $40 on ebay, and an empty arcade cabinet for another $25-50 and you can keep about $2300 in your pocket and have a much larger selection of games than that overpriced turd has.

Never bothered to post them here. Just sold both the Super SF2T and NBA Jam TE. Next month I have another original Big Blue cabinet I will be restoring. I have Street Fighter 2 HF, Super SF2, and Super SF2T boards I can put in it. When I get it done I will let you know if you are interested.

Well I am not going to throw out actual prices because the buyer is a member here but I will say the NBA Jam was a "players" condition machine and priced accordingly. The Big Blue was a total restore. Custom cut wood control panel. Because it was the wider control panel a NOS Street Fighter overlay was too small so a member on KLOV made me the oversized one to fit. The joystick overlays I cut out of an original beat up control panel I had here, scanned them and we reproduced them. The marquee isn't a translite but custom printed glass. It has led light strips on a manual dimmer in the marquee and acrylic neck. Lastly, it has one of the new CPS2 multi kits that Darksoft just released this summer. It has every CS2 game on a single CF card. Lets just say that machine was as much as most people's first pin budget on pinside.

It's an amazing machine but definitely not for the person just wanting to bang away at some Street Fighter. The next machine wont be at that price range. Its a standard sized Big Blue and will have a single CPS2 board in it. I will keep you updated.

Another one finished today but also leaving this week. I did the artwork for this one. Not really my style but exactly what the customer wanted so that's all that matters. I have another identical cabinet and my 8 year old isn't going to let me build another to sell before I build his, so I guess I know what one of my fall/winter projects will be.

Yeah Anthony doesn't mess around!

I miss it already now that I am setting up the new game room

Damn that Big Blue looks nice!

Picked up a nice Gorf today. Needs some board repair but the cabinet is nice and I got it for a nice price.

I picked up a Pacman cab that had been converted to a Nintendo Vs and painted over several times. Along with it I also got a full Ms Pacman kit. While there are some small curve changes to the Ms Pacman cab, I don't really care that much so I decided to convert it to a Ms Pacman. It took me just over a week to fix the Ms Pacman board, get a working power brick and complete harness. The monitor is being recapped right now.

I removed all the Vs hardware they added, stripped the cab to bare wood, bondo'd all the carriage bolt holes, lockdown bar holes, and damage to cabinet. Painted it this weekend and reinstalled everything. Just waiting on the monitor to return. I still have side art and front artwork to do. Those are actually going to be done in solid colored vinyl, layered similar to a stencil. Should come out really nice and will never fade. Also need to sandblast and powder coat the coin door and control panel. Basically it's ready to play once the monitor gets back though.

My latest game room setup. Currently only have Met LED Pro for pins in here with a GB Pro ordered and waiting. In the mean time I have been starting to add some more arcades since I have the space. Yesterday I did a 400 mile pickup to grab a nice Frogger for my daughter. It's her favorite game and Wednesday is her 9th birthday so I couldn't resist.

Picked it up for $400.

Well fortunately I picked it up from a fellow collector and friend. He has bought a few games from me in the past and I think I have always given him decent prices also. He picked it up as part of a package deal and passed it on to me for his cost. It's nice having friends in this hobby because too many are just out for quick bucks.

If you look at my current lineup in those pics, this is the most I have ever paid for a game. I usually pick them up as projects and put the work into them. I got lucky with Frogger because i don't HAVE to do anything to it if I don't want to.

I just switched around the game room some for my daughter's 11th birthday party yesterday. This is the current working lineup. Not shown are the projects in works which include Elevator Action, Mr Do, Donkey Kong, Smash TV, Dragons Lair 2, and 2 Cruis'n Exoticas which need to be brought in the game room. The pins are in the next room over.
