Welcome to the What's New News!

Here you will find all the latest news of what's happening with the Arcade Restoration Workshop!

Ok, I wanted to learn how to use Google Sketchup, so I decided the best way to really learn the program is to do something realistic with it. The Williams Coin Box was a good start, but I needed something a bit more challenging.

So I decided to redo the Defender Dimensions on my web site. Here are the results so far:

If you have a Defender and would compare the dimensions of my Model with your actual Defender, that would be greatly appreciated. You can email me if you find something that doesn't match yours.

You can download the Google Sketchup file here:

Galaga Died

So my Galaga died today...

I'm not sure if it's coincidence or related, but I was turning the power off on my Defender by the power switch under the control panel at the exact time it failed. The switch was a bit tough to toggle so it was like in the half way position when it happened. Both games are on the same circuit.

Kickman Restoration/Preservation started

Restoration/Preservation has begun on my Kickman.

It's not a full restoration, but more of a preservation of what is there. I like trying to keep things as original as possible. With that in mind, I can take a few chances on this one as the damage is already done. I'm mainly trying to prevent even more damage when I can. Worse comes to worse, I'll do a full restore on it down the road.
