Welcome to the What's New News!

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

When it rains, it pours... read about the problems on the Metrocross conversion... On top of the problems with the Metrocross, I'm now on Power Supply #4 on my main PC. Yes, that is FOUR, as in the number right after 3. Apparently I have been getting a bunch of crappy power supplies so now I have 2 crappy power supplies. One to use in the machine and another to use when this one dies. I've got a lot more pictures for the conversion and I am creating a page called the Anatomy of an Arcade Game to show all the different parts. You can view the work in progress and let me know if you need more details in any given area. This will be under the guide for Restoration. You may have noticed that the Voting thing has been removed from my site. Its turning into a bad joke. I have been watching it for a week now and the number of votes for all the sites keeps changing. One day I'll have 11 votes, the next I'll have 4, then back to 7... Since it appears to be a meaningless vote, I decided that I would no longer participate. For those who voted for my site, thank you.

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.
