Are you still hanging out at funspot?  What has been your favorite game to play there?  I would like to go there.  My dad was a repair tech for a vending machine company.  When I was little, there was nothing cooler than when my dad had to go to work on Saturday.  I would go with him and just walk around the warehouse and all day I would just decide which game I wanted to play next.  The best part is all I had to do was open the coin door and give myself credits.

I'm back from funspot... I still enjoy all the classics... I played more pinball this year than I have ever in the past and it was really fun.  Did a tour of vectors of course... My next project is a D2K machine... so I played that as well.
Happy Gaming!

Dean's power supply has been repaired.  The source of his agony was BR2.  Pin 1 and 2 were shorted causing the overload.  Its now running at 100% capacity and will be finding its way back to its home very soon!

 :cheers:
Happy Gaming!

Retro is the man.  The guy has a heart of gold and has a wealth of information that he doesn't mind sharing with the world.  I couldn't be more excited that in a few short days, I will be getting my butt kicked by aliens again!

Thanks Retro, you are truly a class act.

Agreed..

Retro, you may be hearing from me on a similar issue as is found in this thread.  I will start a new one if needed...
