I've been wondering if there were any people close to me on here. I'm over in Schenectady.
So do you have a MAME set up or are you a dedicated original kid of guy?
I'm currently working on 3 projects. At the moment not one of them is playable! :P
Anyways, I just wanted to say hello to another member from the Albany area.

Mom's side of the family is from Schenectady...
Evidently there are a lot of "Baldwin"s there...

Very cool! When I first came here I asked if anyone was close to Albany and didn't get any responses. I know there was a guy in Saratoga that had a mame cocktail. His name was Matt but I haven't heard anything from him in quite a while.
I'm building a mame cab. I brought it into the basement for the winter and got it playable. I'll be moving it to the garage soon to try and finish filling holes and doing the painting and sanding.
I also have a dedicated Rush N Attack that a friend of a guy I worked with had in his garage and was going to throw it out. It's a conversion cab. It originally was a Congo Bongo.
It's nice to meet you. If you need any help let me know and I'll do what I can.

We live in Hoosick Falls (about 45 minutes away) but my wife grew up in Ballston Spa.

Wow I graduated from Ballston Spa High school in 92! haha.
It's cool to know there's a few people around here building cabs! So the Rush N Attack was a freebie? If so I envy you. I almost picked up a free Centipede a few month sago but someone got there 10 minutes before me. Not much for free around here.
Glad to hear you're is up and running. I wish I had even one of mine playable. My upright is the closest to being completed. I got it up and running a few weeks ago and it was pretty awesome until my cat jumped on my yet to be secured control panel and flipped it off onto the floor. Needs to be redone now. So far this one has been a project of mine for over 3 years! If I had a garage I probably would have been done already.
I recently picked up an empty SF Rush sit down driving cab that I'm going to be turning into an Xbox driving cab this summer. I can't wait to get that one going.
I also have a Robotron Cab that was converted at least 4 times. I want to turn that one back into a Robotron cab running MAME for the break room at work.
I also have the parts to build a touchscreen jukebox. No idea when I'll get around to that one!
If I can help you out in any way let me know also. I have a lot of parts hanging around such as joysticks, buttons, and some other stuff.
And did you hear about the arcade museum opening in the old Coleco factory in Amsterdam sometime in the near future? I'm pretty siked about it. The guy has about 75-80 games already.
