Welcome to the What's New News!

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

Another week of harness making :-) This week I made my Bubble Bobble to JAMMA conversion Harness. That was a chore! Can we say "OVERKILL"? 6 pins of +5, 3 pins of +12, 8 pins of Ground... sheesh! After that was done, I swapped out the TMNT for Bubble Bobble. TMNT is now up for sale (see the For Sale Page) Got my 40pin adapter back from Andromeda Research. Excellent tech support! I would highly recommend them if you are in the market for an excellent EPROM Burner. I can't say enough about these guys. Sanded down the front (or should I say, what I could reach of the front) so now its ready to paint. Probably wont get painted until I get my Air Compressor and Paint Gun (a month or two off). When I have more time, I'll put pictures up of the front of the Metrocross and the Bubble Bobble -> JAMMA converter.

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.
