Title: Hello from Denver!
Post by: EdSalisbury on April 29, 2017, 08:57:06 am
Hey guys!  I've been getting more into arcade/pinball stuff (and been following John's Arcade youtube channel for years), so I finally decided to join the forum!  This summer, I'm planning on doing a Gyruss restore, much like the one John did on the channel.  I have the similar scratches on the sides (which I might be more determined to try and fix).  I'm also now actively scouring Craigslist for cheap games for more projects in the future -- John's search string is very helpful!

I'm also looking at taking a vacation to the New England area this summer, and am planning on visiting all of the arcade/pinball places in the area, including hopefully John's basement :)  Does John only see emails addressed with "Viewer Mail" as the subject now, due to spammers?

In my arcade at the moment:
Gyruss
Mustang Pro Pinball
Aerosmith LE Pinball
My homebuilt MAME cab (don't judge!)
A Japanese pachislo slot machine (that I'm looking to get rid of soon!)

Since getting my wife into pinball, she's now interested in helping me expand the arcade -- I can't tell you how happy this makes me!!

Anyway, I just thought I'd say hi, and if anyone wants to come out to Denver to check out all of our awesome arcades, lemme know!
