TheShanMan:
My wife was reluctant to let me get my 3rd cab (cyberball, which is huge) but gave me the OK, saying this is the last one. Then she let me get my 4th (tron) saying it's my christmas/bday present and NO MORE! Then she has the great idea of putting the cabs in the dining room (couldn't believe it). Fast forward 6 months... We go to the NW Pinball & Gameroom show and she has a blast and that's when we get serious about getting our next house with a big game room so that I can get a lot more ;D. Then we go to CAX and I come home with a change machine and then pick up a DK and Ms Pac from Frizz a week later. Now our house is on the market and a big game room is one of the central requirements for our next house.

Point of the story... some wives come around. Sounds like yours is. Find a way to get her interested and excited about the hobby and you never know where that will lead! :cheers:

cool.

i'm trying to get her involved and interested..but she just doesnt seem to care that much.  i can occasionally get her to play pacman or tetris with me..and then i can't get her to stop..so i think she would play under teh right conditions

I picked up the cabinet this afternoon....it is still in my friend's vehicle until he can come by this evening to drop it off.  I'll try to take some pics tonight.  i also picked up a NOS 4way wico leaf joystick for $5.  i couldn't pass it up.  he said he has some more lying around..a few that he found looked like 2way sticks though..when he opened the box and had a 4way, i had to get it.

this guy has i think 3 ms pacman, pacman, and galage 3 cabinet, that he would let go for $100 for all of them.. they are in various state of disrepair...most are gutted. and in need of some cosmetic work, but all seem solid....if anyone is interested, they are near Altoona, PA.  i can get you contact info if you want

Glad things worked out for you Sev.

If you have to put the joystick and buttons on hold, I have an Ultimarc E-stick that I'm not going to use and could send out to you.  The size and color (red) may be all wrong for what you're looking for, but maybe it'll do in a pinch?  At least until you pick up what you want.  I think I also have some buttons (white, orange, and blue).  I'll never find my own DK for $50 so I might as well live vicariously through you.

thanks for the offer, but i think i got it covered.  i think ill use the 4 way wico stick i got with it for a while.  it is a red ball top, but should work fine.  i have a few black and yellow buttons, which should look just fine with the dk jr control panel.

ill try to take some pics after the kids go to bed.
