Brofest 2017 would be cool - the past 2 were a blast, but i was under the impression John had an arcade to run with his buddy.

Nice job! For some reason Phoenix is one of my favorite games

My old boss gave me a Frogger cocktail cabinet, and it had $6.08 in it. His kids jammed up the coin slots with pennies. Huh? Roll Eyes

Bob Roberts is out of stock of the translucent buttons.
Managed to get Joystick and lockdowns from a KLOV member, but ouch it was pricey.
I've seen the buttons on a few sites now.
This is definitely not a restore for an impatient guy, but i'm getting there.
Thanks for the help!

Yeah that makes sense it's a SEGA machine.
Is there a list of links? I hear AO mentioning lots of sites during the podcasts, and I've run across a lot of these during searches, but I'm usually driving when I listen.
Thanks guys!

Looked up crazy climber sticks. Looks like a similar mount, but CC sticks I saw had springs, and no rubber bushings...hmmm.

I use this type of tool to remove solder - it's an iron, and it heats up. Makes for cleaner removal IMO
Cheap at Radio Shack, too

These joysticks are in my Frogger cocktail cabinet. I want to clean and rebuild them. They have a neoprene foam rubber centering grommet, of which one of them has permanetly deformed, as if the joystick had something leaning on it in storage for years.
Any help in identifying this or tips on a suitable replacement would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Moley

I F'in love Galaga, but so far I can just break 100k. It was cool seeing the bugs change colors the first time around. I was like "ooh I never made it this far"
