Sold my first "Multicade"

As I posted in September, I picked up a Vigilante game for a decent price. Then in November, I posted that I began turning it into a 60-in-1 Multicade. Today was the day that I finished it:


I spent about an hour today wiring the new "Pac" style joystick, installing the rebuilt monitor chassis and mounting the pcb. Previously, I installed a custom marquee and bezel, black control panel overlay and some buttons that matched the color scheme. The next step was to list it on Craigslist. I decided to leave the sideart on it and if it didn't sell I would then remove it for a cleaner all-around look. I took a few pictures, wrote some cheesy copy and popped it up on the local CL. Around 30 minutes later I received a phone call from someone wanting to buy it. Fingers crossed, but by tomorrow by 11 AM this "Multicade" should be sold!

Registered a few domain names

I just registered www.arcadekeychains.com and www.arcadekeychains.net just in case I ever go forward with this as a side business!

DJ DNS made the trip again!

My buddy from Virginia (dj dns on the KLOV forums) made another 6 hour trip up to Pittsburgh yesterday. This time it was for a dedicated Front Line that I picked up for him about 30 minutes away from me. I held it for him for a week or so until he had a chance to pick it up. Since he was already making the trip, I asked him for a few things and he was able to bring them- an R.B.I. Baseball pcb and a JAMMA harness. We tested the R.B.I. Baseball in my Vs. cabinet and I think I'm going to keep it in there for awhile. I forgot how much I loved that game back in the day. The JAMMA harness is for my Mutli Williams project that is slowly progressing along.
