Welcome to the What's New News!

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

I picked up two new games today from John Butler. Bosconian and Crystal Castles. Both games are in excellent condition (very dusty though ). Both could stand a Cap Kit, but that's nothing new. Most games this old need a Cap Kit. Both cabinets are in Excellent shape and side art most would be jealous of :-) The best thing about these are that I don't have to restore them! Yeah! I also picked up a couple Williams board sets for my Joust and other Stargate. While I was at Johns, I met a friend that I hadn't seen in probably 6 years (maybe more?) when I had an Atari ST. Now it appears that he is also into collecting. Small world. Bought an Air Compressor as well. Works wonders for cleaning the dust off of parts. Eye protection and a mask are not optional with the amount of dust flying around! I didn't get a chance to work on my Control Panel like I wanted. I doubt I will get to it this week and next weekend is booked so I doubt that its going to happen until 2 weeks from now. :-(

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.
