Maybe I missed the announcement, but I went to the old link, and it was out of order. Are they packed up?

He moved to E-bay long ago.  When I bought my panel from them I purchased it through E-bay.  He even admitted at the time the website was terribly out of date.  You click on "buy-it-now" and then go through the customization process afterwards.  He wont bill you until you have agreed upon your total options/price.

well they have e-bay auctions for 4 player panels going on right now (check my previous link).  Where did you hear that?

  I emailed them directly about making a 4 player blank panel.  Perhaps it's only blank panels they won't do.  This was right from the horses mouth.  It doesn't make any sense really that they would be selling complete kits but not willing to sell the shells....hmm....

I think he just changed or got rid of his website......but really he was not using it as he was shifting to e-bay more and more

Hello All,
Just wanted to chime in that I'm still here.  :)
I switched Web hosting to GoDaddy.com ( Love Danika Patrick!). I wanted to redesign the site but there's never enough time. As with most of the arcade vendors out there ( GGG, NorthCoast, Mameroom etc.) I'm a one-man show ( with some help from the Family) who has the regular day job.

EBay has been very good to us and even when our site content was relevant 95% of all sales still came from E-Bay.

It's true that we no longer make the 4 player blanks. Not because we don't want to, but they take a good deal of time to build vs. the 2 player blanks and we just don't have resources.

Thanks,
Jack

 Thanks for clarifying Jack.  We will look for you on eBay!  There are only so many hours in a day, I know where you are coming from.

Jack,

Perhaps some users on this site can help you with the redesign and the implementation of the website code?  I know that I would be willing to do some of the graphics.  I bought a blank quad panel some time ago from you and had some graphics ready at the time for your site but I never heard back from you.
