I've learned most of what I know from lurking on these forums for over a year. |

Same here. I've found that a lot of times, when I have a question, most often the topic has already been covered here. All you have to do is use the search function to find it. :) |

--- Quote from: jam92102 on April 18, 2004, 11:47:56 pm ---I am wanting to get into the hobby of collecting and restoring arcade machienes. I was curious where you all got your knowledge of arcades as far as repairing and maintaining them. Was it trial and error, a good website you'd recommend, a good book? I saw that there's an arcade school you can go to but I can't afford something that expensive or time consuming. How do you all suggest I get into the hobby? Thanks for all your help! --- End quote --- well aside from a good knowledge of computers (computer science and networks and stuff) i knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about wiring, or arcades or anything like that. i had never even used a circular saw before...but i just lurked on this site, and read all the newbie stuff on the main page and then just kept on asking questions over and over again even though the old farts like howard got pissed (you'll find that a lot here...newbies get pissed on....but howard pisses on everybody so no loss) |

Thanks for the suggestions everybody! I knew this site had a ton of info but I've never really searched for much but mame. I'll have to dig in a little more :) Thanks again! |

Hulkster, that was way off the mark. I still consider myself a noob and I can say from my experience that this is by the most helpful technical hobbyist site you will ever clink into. Period. Howards a code monkey, you can't count him in the mix as countless hours of starting at notepad can cause social grace to atrophy at an alarming rate. The people that run and frequent this board are top-notch. I've never had a question that wasn't answered. |
