Arcade
I got an early start in electronics repairing PCBs, coin mechs and dollar acceptors for arcade and video poker cabinets. I put together a 4P MAME cabinet in 2003, it was a total mess made from heavy particle board and cobbled together parts but it was a ton of fun and we just had a blast playing on it for years.
Capcom Q25 #
I own a Capcom Q25 I picked up back in 2009 and it somehow this has survived every move I've made since then. I originally fitted it with a JAMMA switcher with a PC / ArcadeVGA / IPAC setup in the second slot. I recently upgraded it to a Mistercade setup and that has been working like a dream. I've installed an RFID reader with Zaparaoo behind the marquee to switch games so guests don't have to open any menus to play our favorites.
