It's been awhile since my last update, but that is because I've been busy as hell. I received my games from the East Coast deal I did, so now I have 7 more games in my collection. There were a total of 12 games (7 where mine, 5 were my friends).

The deal didn't turn out that great in the end. The games (except for a couple) were not in the condition I was expecting them in and since they came from the east cost, they had some mold and mildew issues. Not something you are really used to dealing with here in Arizona. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't have done the deal.

99% of the games will take some work to get them up to snuff, but one is probably going to be a major project (Jungle King) . The Jungle King cabinet is pretty hosed and will probably require me to build a new cabinet for it.

On to more positive things... Construction has started on my new game room. I am having my old patio enclosed (plus an additional 6 feet) to give me an additional 240 Sqft for games. I'll put up a page of the construction progress later.

My "Seceret Project" is getting closer to being done. However, with the 12 new games in my garage I no longer have any room to do anything (including parking my car in there), so that's temporarily on hold.

I have a lot of information I want to post, but it will take some time to get everything together. Lots of pictures, and info to sort out. So keep checking back as I will post information when I can.

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.
