Since I've been without power for 5 days and counting because of Wilma, I had time to finish up the odds and ends on the cocktail table. Wired up the toggle switch on the coin mechs so I can turn the credit button on/off. They are only on when the nephews come over, let them learn the value of a dollar, lol. Wired up the lights for the milky plexi for the vertical controls, dunno if they work yet though....need power, mounted the 3rd panel joys correctly instead of the jury rig I had going on, and tighted the the vertical joys super tight for those hair raising yanks on Ms Pac Man and Frogger. For anyone who was affected by the hurricane, I hope your doing ok and wish you the best, I only received only relatively minor damage, part of the roof, couple glass sliding doors blown in, couple big avecado trees uprooted, tree through my windshild like a missle, but everyone was physically safe.
Best Wishes

Hey! Haven't seen you around for a while.

Wow, congratulations of weathering the storm.
I think that there's some kind of BYOAC reward for storm victims who unplug the fridge from the generator so they can plug in the arcade cabinet.

Ray,
I still haven't forgotten about those counters, just got done unpacking some stuff last week and found them again if you still need them.
Mark,
I will admit I do squeeze in a few games of Galaga in, hehe....set my new high score even
though it blows compared to everyone else 105,780. Happy for me...lol...we just got about 50 percent of our power back. Check the fuse panel and one post ( left side ) all power, right side is dead...strange...any ideas

One of the leads coming into your house is probably loose/broken (you have 2 110v wires coming in--one feeds the left side, the other the right). I had a similar problem with my electrical panel a few years ago--had to temporarily move the furnace to the good side until the power company came out to reattach the loose side.

Your exactly right, before I came back in here to read a bit....I stared out my pole and noticed one of my lines had snapped, I figure a little bit of electrical tape should fix it pretty well, just kidding. I called FPL but they haven't responded yet, I guess half power is better than no power.
