New addition

Going to pick up a Space Invaders project tomorrow... down in St Louis, which means... WHITE CASTLES! Mmmmmm time to pick up a crave case...
Got a decent deal on it, pics look good, but who knows what it really looks like in person. I figure for what I paid, worst case scenario, I can part it out (if it's reaally bad, and get what I paid for it back (and maybe enough to cover the gas and sliders)... Seller is throwing in two spare board sets.
couple pics...

monitor issues:

All in all it looks like it could be a good deal. I'll try to put up more pics tomorrow night (and update the main website)

Apparently the Milwaukee auction was a bust... hoping that the Belleville auction doesn't suffer the same fate (well at least there's brewmania if it is...)

Hope to have some update pics of the game room online soon... still working out there when I can (when it ain't colder than the proverbial thaumaturgic mammary in a form-fitting bodice of metal)

Auction Results posted, misc crap, more posts coming

Well the 10/10 Belleville auction results are up in the results page, and while it was still a relatively crappy auction, it was an improvement over the last one... so I think I'll still keep going as long as they continue to get better and not worse... This one even had a bit of a "dead row" which is a bargain hunters dream IMHO....
Anyhow, came close to picking up a few things to get outbid at the last minute again, however I did win another jukebox, bringing my juke total to 3... Why buy another juke? Well there's 2 reasons really... First, it was the box I originally wanted to get, the one that plays both CD's and 45's (100 "45's" + a 6 cd changer) AMI Rowe R-92+cd. the second reason is that I picked it up almost full (80 out of the 100 records) mostly working and for the price of $20.

I got it home, and the 6 disc player wasn't working, but I just happen to have another 6 disk that was virtually the same model as the one in the unit, so I swapped them out. Now I have a working cd player that the juke controls, but I'm not getting any sound from it, so let the troubleshooting begin. Other than a few adjustments to the tone arm and probably a new needle, the record part seems to work OK... I am concerned with getting no audio from the CD changer, hoping there isn't any amp issues, I will be ordering the manual soon.

In other news, I did throw a 48-1 board in that old Galaxy Games multi... just have a few more things to do to it (new glass art, a couple of cam locks), and to get some real cpo material (threw on some crappy contact paper material I had laying around for the time being) before I'll call it done, but it's getting pretty close. Pics of that project here

Also building a 60-1 with trackball upright, that I'll probably sell. They still seem to be bringing in a decent amount of money so maybe it will help fund some projects that have been on the back burner for a while...

Gameroom construction is slow but steady, hopefully I'll be able to start making progress on it soon as I would still like to get it done this year... It's already cold out though so any thoughts of having nice fall weather to work on it are shot to hell...

That's all I have for now, sorry for the lack of updates lately.
