I made this table on casters with a 36" height surface to match with my basment arcade. Previously the consoles were in the way and didn't fit in.

JAMMA Ms. Pac-Man Champion Edition & Super Zola Pac Gal
This is a really neat JAMMA board from the 90's with Ms. Pac-Man Championship Edition and Super Zola Pac Gal on it. Both have a timer you have to clear the stage in and are in turbo mode. Thanks CrazyKongFan for bringing it along!
CrazyKongFan plays Gaplus - Amazing
Thanks to CrazyKongFan for stopping by again on his way to FunSpot, watching him play Gaplus is always amazing, even with my flaky right fire button. I need to fix that.

Latest Arcade Pickup - Galaxian in Mint Condition
This will make my second Galaxian cabinet, although the other one was in much worse condition and has a much different fate. This one it in mint condition, I just need to install a cap kit and it will be perfect!

Tips on removing vinyl artwork from an arcade game
This Galaxian I picked up for really cheap, the wood is in great condition, although the artwork was destroyed when someone converted it to another game and painted over the vinyl.

Progress in so far in restoring my Propcycle
There still is a bunch of things to do, like a new seat cover and padding, but this game is very playable as it is now.

I bought a Propcycle!
This Saturday I bought a Propcycle Arcade game. It is a awesomely fun game where you pilot a bicycle/plane through a course popping balloons. The best part about this game is that you actually pedal a bike to make the plane fly! There is even a fan that blows on you to simulate the feel of actually flying!
I used to play this in the Jillian's in Albany, but half the time it was missing a pedal. I guess that is what happens when you mix arcade games a alcohol!
I was able to pick this game up for an unbelieveably low price, It actually cost me more to transport it from Waterloo NY to my house. Thanks Jason so much for selling it to me! I will give it a good home!
My Dad making sure all the straps are tight.
The hardest part was getting down the basement stairs and through the 31 inch doorway, but I was able to thanks to my brother Deign and my Dad.
I had to take the whole thing apart to get it down, which isn't a inconveinence since I would have disassembled to clean the it up and check it out. It is only missing a few parts, like a seat cover and some bolts, which I hope my wife will sew me a new cover!
What really suprised me was this this game uses a Mitsubishi 41" CRT Projection TV for its monitor. Most arcade games use a RGB monitor, but in this cause it is just a TV. You can even hook it up and watch TV on it. Here is a picture of it outside of the game cabinet:
So now it sits in pieces, the first thing I want to do is calibrate the projection TV, it is a little out of wack and I am sure it will look much better if I do this first.
