Just got into the hobby and need to repair 3 machines that I recently purchased.  I'm in Millbrae near the airport.  Can anyone refer me to someone or a company that repairs Millipede, Ms. Pacman, and Donkey Kong?  Thanks.

Alright,

Looking for a Galaga Arcade game.  The stand up kind not the sit down version, never was a big fan of those.  One more stipulation is that the "fire" button can't stick, meaning every time a press it, i don't want there to be any kind of delay. 

If you have a machine like this, let me know where are and how much you want for it.

 

Xav,

Sorry for the lateness in responding, but it's been busy leading up to the show.  Now that we're done for this year, I might have some time to help you out .  If you're still checking here, LMK...

For starters, could you describe the symptoms for your game?  Some examples:

Does it play blind?  (i.e. can you start a game and hear the game sounds?)
Does the screen have any messages on it (i.e. RAM error, ROM error, CMOS error, etc.)?
What do you see on the screen?  (i.e. rug pattern, solid color, etc.)?

If you are able to look inside the machine at the game boards, there is a small LED light that may be flashing a 3 digit code.  If so, what 3 numbers are flashing in sequence and then repeating?

Also from the back of the cabinet (inside), there is a small board with 3 small LED lights on it.  This is the power supply board.  Are all 3 LED lights actually lit?  If not, which one(s) are unlit?

Let me know on the above or any other relevant information and maybe we can figure out your game's problem.

Looking forward to next year's CAX. Seeing DoDonPachi DaiOuJou was a pleasant surprise for me.

As someone who brought one machine the previous two years and two this year (and helped with a third), things definitely went smoother this year.  Also, thanks to whoever cleaned the glass on my machines, probably on Friday morning!

I want to echo the same.  Many thanks to the Extreme Team for another great show!  I'll have my annual (third annual anyway) show report in next month's Retrogaming Times Monthly (next issue).

A fantastic show this year -- best in my five years attending. So many games, so little wait time to play what I wanted, so much choice -- what was the final tally? Mark said 471 last I talked to him.

I had a blast. I assume you will get various photos and blog entries as time goes on but I'll kick it off with a quick recap from my blog:

My wife took plenty of high-res SLR shots but they're not ready yet. I'll link when she puts them online. And of course, we have some video to share too, once we get that sorted out.

Greetings all.  In typical last minute fashion, I am posting this at 3:55 AM Friday morning before the big show.  I will be a new vendor at the show this year and mainly have a complete Gaplus game, a few hundred marquees, some classic monitor glass, hundreds of manuals, some side art stickers, CPO's, instruction sheets, old Replay magazines from the mid 90's, odds & ends (trackballs, driving gas pedals, dollar bill validators, a CRT rejuvenator, EPROM burner & eraser, baseball cards for Slugfest, etc) left over from my 10+ years of collecting & operating games.  Prices not set in stone.  Buy a bunch of stuff and get a better deal.  Look for the pegboard marquee display at the show!
