And so it begins...................
« on: February 10, 2014, 04:15:35 PM »
well with the first drop of sunshine, its time to crack out the sander and start on one of many projects, I think I have about 15 machines in line to be completed before FREEPLAY FLORIDA, and the first one (well was not the first, but was nearest to garage door and last one in) was a pickup last week off Craigslist, Speed Rumbler, that classic Jamma driving/mad max sort of game, its cute, but certainly not a keeper, and as soon as I saw the pics of the cabinet, I knew its fate :D

unlike the last one this isnt getting a full new cabinet, just fixing the missing wood, and a paint and redo  ;)

Go Mick Go!

I've been restoring too.  Weather has been amazing so I'm hard at it too.

Trying to finish up the Frogger and Atari Assault then on to Missile Command and SI Deluxe.

Nothing like seeing arcade cabinets in the driveway soaking up some beautiful Florida sunshine =)

Yep its the paint you gave me, worked great. Thinned it with mineral spirits and sprayer it with an HVLP gun.

When I move out I will just flip the pavers over and rinse them off :)
