Eggs? Why? They're on the same list as beans, brocolli, curry and old fish as things not to allow your buddy eat in an enclosed space.

also... why does this Husky gas station have a "Property of" sticker on the paper towel dispenser?? have these been stolen from them before? why would they not think someone wouldn't remove the little sticker if they already went through the trouble of removing the thing from the wall in the first place??
You know... people collect the weirdest things. Some collects paper towel dispensers, others collects arcade machines the size of a refrigerator...

Did that paper towel dispenser make this sound:

Probably because some Marketing genius thought it was a great way to get other business owners that had to "do their business" at the gas station after eating those hard boiled eggs and swilling energy drinks all morning to see the companies phone # and contact them about installing 100's of those things in their office building  :laugh2:

Fallout from Joaquin probably.

Hey, ship some of that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- back West. Last night we got a massive lightning storm and barely enough water to fill a pee cup.

The black flat T-molding is also present on the SEGA Hang-On cab. I neglected to get a sample of the Nintendo White, but the measurements do appear to be identical.

That said, I have wondered if the black plastic dye will work on the white.

I like narrow cabinet Mario Bros machines so much better. The widebodies were a major botch.

Execs at Nintendo were like,  "OMG, this game have two player at same time. Never been done before, except for that time that all games were that way from 1972 to 1977 and a smattering of games from 1978 until today. What to do, normal 24" cabinet not good enough? I know, create 2 player control panel to fit Dankey Kang cabinet, use that for kit, add an extra inch and a half of empty space on each side for dedicated without placing players any further apart. Also, did you know that 10 years from now Street Fighter 2 will define the 2 player experience using a 24" cabinet?"

2am Update

She's home. I've moved around a few things, so i have a place to put it. For the time being i need to vacuum inside, and pull the batteries off the PCB ASAP. I'll relocate them to the base of the cab later. Then i'll move this in line with my DKU cab.

First off, i've found some loose change in the coin box.

Here's an interesting find, the P1/P2 buttons have been spliced into the coin mechs somehow to get the cab into "free play". I'd like to reverse this when i do the restore.

This gives me an estimate of how many games it was played before the mod was done.

Also, everything's a bit newer on this then my last one. the 20EZ has the addition of a nice little degauss switch.
