Looking great. I always wanted to play against my brother in Tennis on one of those. We used to play on the NES but we couldn't play against each other. We always played on level 5 on the same team.

Now THAT is a good eye. Yep, south Minneapolis I am. Could you really tell that just from my basement?
J_K_M_A_N:
Well, the basement and the fact that you brought the monitor to Arcade Paradise. :) Lucky guess mostly. Our basement was pretty close to that though. Kinda low. I grew up on 46th and Pillsbury.

Ah, nothing like ultra narrow streets, alley facing garages and strict winter parking rules.  ;D

I love south Minne, don't get me wrong. But As a former St. Paul resident, I am obligated to tell you that our nonsensical roads, leaky wet basements, and houses built on heavy inclines are a step up. My garage was designed to fit only a model T, but ignore that detail.

I have to play a bit of the waiting game now. I dropped off my parts for powder coating but, like many places, they're busy and I won't get them back until late June. I've also got numerous items I'd like to order from Mike's Arcade (difficult to find Nintendo parts specifically) but because of his recent fire many things are still out of stock. Wishing him the best!

In the meantime, I decided to clean up the metal frame pieces that hold the plexi and glass. Some Metal Rescue from Menards did a great job on the metal. Glass cleaner and a magic eraser took care of the see-through items. Nothing perfect but pretty good.

How did you get a forklift into your basement. ;D
