Welcome to the What's New News!

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

November 21, 1998

Lots of cool stuff happening :-) I am getting 2 empty cabinets, and 2 games in the morning from John Butler. I ordered the control panel overlays for Stargate, and Robotron from www.fabfan.com. I found someone who had a Robotron control panel with joysticks! The control panel should be here next week. Look for Pictures. I am working on ordering replacement power cords from Bob Roberts (10 of them), so those should be here sometime next week as well (or the week after, as I need to send him a check). If you don't know who Bob Roberts is, you need to. He is one of the best resources you'll find on the net when it comes to parts and information. I will be putting up a "Photo Tutorial" on how to replace an old bad power cord this week. I am going to try doing a few more "Photo Tutorials" on things like Joystick replacement/repair, etc... If you have any ideas on what types of Tutorials I should put up on here, then let me know. If you would like to do a Photo Tutorial and have me put it up on here, then please send it my way. Otherwise they will go up when I get around to doing them. I am working on the background colors for the center column here so that I can have links to information and still have it readable. If you have a good suggestion for a color, let me know. Al Still has a lot of games left for sale so be sure to check the list!

Galaga Died

2/6/2021 12:29:47 PM

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

8/21/2017 11:10:28 PM

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.
