Nanao MS9 repair complete! One of the pads was burned off the chassis color adjustment pots (Green). Replaced all of the pots and ran a jumper, and we are back up and running! #arcade #repair #crt

Both PVMs fired up! One doesn't have a working control board, and one started smoking! Time to do some research!

Good news! Phantom Limb is healthy! The vet was surprised she survived outside as well as she did.

Took me a while to catch her, but everyone say hi to our new 3 legged Kitty, Phantom Limb!

Our wedding invites were made with real NES carts from a local game store. I made an extra for the store and they keep it on their retail shelf :)

Traded some junk for a non working MVS 2 slot (Same model that's in my Goldie). With a little work, I found some broken traces and some cold solder. Ran some jumpers and did some reflow, and we now have a working board! Always feels nice bringing something back from the dead! #arcade #repair #neogeo

We rescued some #pinball machines from a local hoarding situation. These have probably been sitting dead for 10-15 years. We were able to have them both booting in a few hours! Now to order some parts before shopping them out and getting them on the arcade floor!
