Stencils to restore your Williams Bubbles arcade game coming soon?
That is something that was mentioned in passing tonight on CoinOpSpace.com. Rick Ford said that he will be getting some vellum after Rich at This Old Game.com showed collectors that it is possible to manually trace (with a pencil) artwork on the side of a cabinet. Every collector wants to do it all so let’s hope that Rick follows through if not now sometime in early spring. (more…)
New Space Invaders Website Design – Game Stencils.com
One of my long list of tasks to tackle between my semesters was to do a design for Brian at GameStencils.com. This is the kind of custom work I live for, someone that has seen my work, likes what I do and they kind of let me run with some ideas.

Low and behold, they found us and wrote a little review on our classic arcade game site without my prompting.

A difficult task to say the least, finding parts and artwork to convert a Journey back is a near impossible task, but somehow Jeff P. has almost completely finished his restoration, and here’s how he did it.

Bally’s Rally-X Control Panel Artwork Vectorized
Back around October Rich Lint told me that he would like to have the Rally-X control panel artwork vectorized. He knew that printing this artwork would be a long ways out (read probably a year), but it would be good to have ready to crank out when the time was appropriate. The Rally-X artwork was highly illustrative and exaggerated and was a little tricky in a couple of places to trace.
Arcade Game Cabinet in Indianapolis
Is anyone looking to purchase an empty arcade game cabinet in Indianapolis? I am trying to complete a purchase for a game where I need the guts, but don’t want the cabinet. The cabinet would be cheap, probably about $25. (more…)
