I somehow found the Arcade Restoration Website in '06 and I was AMAZED at the restoration work on the site. I read every restore story I could find, and found that I wanted in on this. A couple days later I discovered the JAMMA harness, and started making plans. By the end of the week, I had won a MKII board set on ebay. My dad kind of got interested in the technical side and we started building a cab (its now dismantled in the shed for a future project...) Halfway through it dawned on use that we couldn't spend $400 on a 25 inch monitor, so we went to the local op. They said they didn't sell "small" parts to the public, but to come by next month for their warehouse sale. We did and we went home with a very nice, perfectly working, Golden Tee 2K machine in a generic kit cabinet with a 25 inch monitor for $250! About a year later I won a converted Midway cab on ebay that was, at the time, a Ninja Clowns cab. That was restored to Galaga. About 10 months ago I accidentally won an empty Midway cocktail table that turned out to be a Super Pac Man cab, and that has since been restored. Now I just need a Nintendo cab and I will be good to go.
