Welcome to the What's New News!

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

The Shuttle has landed! Yes, thanks to John Butler, I now have my first Pin, Space Shuttle. Its a Fixer-Uper, but it still plays pretty well! The backglass is in excellent shape as is the side art. The playfield and some targets need some work, but I'm happy. I also picked up a Mr Do from him (Trade). If you have any information on working on Pins please drop me an email as I have never really done any work on them.... Time to start another obsession :-) The Bosconian was traded for a Zaxxon board set, those will be here some time in the future (no rush as I don't have the time anyway right now ). I've started stripping the side of the Metrocross cabinet (Read: Old converted Stargate Cab). So far its taken me about 4 hours and 3 coats of stripper to do the one side. I think for the other side I'm going to put it down extra thick to speed up the process. Pictures will be coming shortly when I put up the Metrocross page. I'm close to completing the repairs on Thief and then it will be moved into the Game Room. I will have pictures of that available as well. Running low on disk space, so we'll see how soon the pictures show up, I have about 30 pictures that I want to put up.

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

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.
