Ok, it's official! I've hit 30! No, not my age, it's the number of cabinets I now have. I picked up a Donkey Kong Jr and Gorf today. Those two pushed me to the 30 game mark.

Both games are in pretty decent shape. The DK Jr being in the better shape of the two. The Gorf has casters on it, which makes it nice and easy to move around, but I'm still not sure I like them on the game. I guess only time will tell.

Since the stuff on Donkey Kong Jr will be easy to do, I've already started restoring it. I hope to have it done by the end of Sunday if all goes as planned. Does it ever? :-) Check out the restoration page for details.

As for the Slot Cutter Router bit. I've looked at it and it has a cut depth of 1/2". That is too deep for what I need, so I will be looking for one that is 1/4" deep or I'll have to rig something up (maybe a bigger bearing) so it only cuts 1/4" deep.

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.
