December 15, 1998
Ok, things have been happening again :-) I received my Robotron Control Panel Overlay (AWESOME!), check it out on the Robotron Restoration page along with shots of the control panel I received as well (different source). I have started to replace the old overlay on the Stargate overlay and pictures can be seen on the Stargate restoration page. I added two new Tips and Tricks (Thanks Mark Jenison!). Check out the Shipping Tip for a BONUS TIP from me! I won my first E-Bay auction and will be getting 16 new boards soon.

Whoo Hoo! (some of which are being traded for a Metrocross PCB!) When I get them, look for them on the right side. I will mark the ones I will be willing to trade or sell. YIKES!Christmas is right around the corner!

Well, this may be the last bit of news for this year unless I get my boards or I finish my control panel...keep checking back though, who knows. I don't have my "Loaner" Digital Camera anymore :-( So it might be some time before I get more pictures up on here unless I find one cheap somewhere (or I run up the CC again..Yick!)

My new Overlay just arrived (Stargate) and it looks totally awesome! Check out the restoration page for Stargate for pictures. I also got a Defender one (by mistake, but I'm keeping it ) and you can see the picture of it on my Defender page.

Here we are, 3 months later! I hope this information has been useful to you. I expect this month to be a little slower than the rest due to the Holidays, if you want to send me presents feel free to A Metrocross PCB under the tree would look great! Ok, I am going to be converting my Side Arms back into Dig Dug since the cabinet is in pretty good shape and has the side art in tact. This decision is also because I picked up a Crystal Castles cabinet that has been painted COMPLETELY black.

Since Crystal Castles has such elaborate art work, I figured this one would be better off as a JAMMA cabinet. I'm sure I can find a dedicated Crystal Castles for a descent price when the time comes. After Christmas, I'll probably be buying a lot of power tools (ones that I didn't get for Christmas ) and I'll let you know what I got and what they will be used for. I am working on another Video Tutorial on how to restore a Control Panel (in this case its my Robotron Control Panel). This may not get done until after Christmas as it may require the use of some power tools which I currently do not own. I have added a new tip and updated the Checking Florescent Lights tip. November's news has been archived and can be found on the lower left of this page. I would also like to thank all those who have signed my guest book!
