More depressing news....

I was down at Gross Games today, and David told me that they are closing the doors on the business. Due to Al's ex-wife and the legal trouble she is causing, they can no longer afford to keep the doors open.

It's sad to see something Al Gross worked so hard at building, going away because of the greed of his ex-wife. This is also a sad day for collectors as this was an excellent resource. It was wierd walking around the warehouse knowing that I may never go there again. Al's place had a lot of good memories for me and I hope it comes back some day. I doubt it will, but one can wish.

If you are not familiar with who Al Gross is, you can read his Memorial Page.

If you want to find out what a low life person his ex-wife is, you can read the News Item where I detailed what happened to Al. It's the September 3rd entry.

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.

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.
