Mr. Do! Roadtrip to Chicago
It’s been about six weeks since I finally acquired my Mr. Do! arcade game in Chicago. Having looked for just over two years for this game only now can I laugh when I remember what Joe Magiera said when I first met him in the fall of 2006. (more…)
Universal Mr. Do! is finally mine!
It was a crazy week, an exam and two papers and then the July 4th holiday weekend and a fun time with family. But at the end, I knew that I would be traveling to finally pick up my own, original, Universal Mr. Do! arcade game. (more…)
Nintendo Popeye Sold
Only two months after acquiring the two blue Nintendo arcade cabinets on the north side of Indianapolis, the second one is sold and gone.
Bally Mappy Cabinet Project
Did a little swaperoo last Friday with another member on the board, good to meet ya Jeff. Have I told you I think your parents were brilliant in naming you?

Currently I have a Mappy cabinet that was converted to a Kicker. The marquee box was sawed in half and needs to be reconstructed. This is a long term project, and as of this writing (Jan, 2009) the cabinet sits in the corner awaiting a restoration to probably a brand new Jr. Pac-man.
Food Fight Cabinet Sold

I sold my Atari Xevious cabinet in February to another individual in Dayton Ohio. This is the cabinet that I got from Tim Hill in MI, who got the Food Fight for free from Robotron (klov forums) in the Detroit area. (more…)
