I went today and picked up a really nice carnevil.

Turns out the guy i was picking it up from owns a local OP and runs cointaker.com. I took a tour of his op business which was incredible by itself with a lot of new in box sterns and a fully restored xenon.

Right before we were going to leave he invited me to come up to his house and check out his personal collection.
HOLY SHIT is all I can say.

Nice dude! The cointaker people are good people. You should talk to him about getting a John's Arcade discount code for all our forum members. He has done it for other communities before.

They were extremely nice and we had a great time just hanging out and talking. His wife is amazing and had a blast just playing with her dogs and her beautiful parrot

He does have an impressive collection.

True restoration is an art form. Like any good artist you have to know what your doing. Painting a single line on a canvas and calling it a masterpiece does not fly in restoring a arcade machine. Do it right
