John's Arcade Forum - Classic Arcade and Pinball Collecting and Restoring Discussion Forum - RETRO MAME - Nintendo Vs Forum

Hi everybody,
Iv been watching johns arcade videos for awhile now, and creeping on the forums reading up on some issues my machines were having.
finally need help with one and created an account, figured is stop here and say just hi and introduce myself a bit.
My dad collected arcades before i was born so i grew up with a couple of the classics in the house.
Donky kong, centipede, space duel, asteroids, Mr.do, zaxxon and a stand up turbo. in the last couple years iv added a few more to the collection a second Mr.DO (brother moved out and took the first), dynamite cop, bought a centuri Eagle yesterday needs some tlc, rapid fire.
thats about all i can think of. Been trying to get serious about getting 100k on DK but im no where close to good or consistent, much better at asteroids lol.
Thanks guys. i look forward to chatting and learning a lot.
