Bare with me as once you get to know me better, I sort of make sense in a odd way as that is me, odd and eccentric by choice.

Anyway, I started to get a bit more interested in the building of arcade gaming machines as I have always had a soft spot for the old arcade games of the past.

I grew up with them. I didn't partake in them much as I was more interested in other things when growing up years back.

What has gotten me so interested in this topic and subject is that I have most of the required items to build these type of games.

Now I'm not standing up on a box $elling anything as I have no time for that at this time.

But there is chance of my doing some biz in the future when I have things sorted out better and also have gained the required knowledge and learning that I need.

I like collecting vintage gaming items more then playing gaming items. I would very much enjoy building a few of my own arcade games on a budget as that is of interest to me as a project that can be done by a older person later.

As I collect older gaming items I have spent a few years and dollars on eBay looking for things to add to my collections and such.

I have noticed that the vinyl art work for arcade cabinets is available as well as control buttons and the like for those that want to restore or build clones.

I have plenty of the older computers and a nice selection of working TV CRT sets as I have searched them out for use with vintage game and recorded media items.

Now that I have done my monologue.

Any other vintage minded gamers interested in using this thread for talking about the "Multi Arcade Machine Emulators", and other related topics and subject matter?

Ideas for parts and where to find them and such.

Now remember that I know about as much about Multi Arcade Machine Emulators as I know about the man on the moon.

But I'm interested in learning about the design and construction of the machines on a frugal budget.



I would have a row of full sized arcade and pinball machines if it was cost effective.

but we can always dream and then see how we might make those dreams come True.

I have quite a few arcade game parts. I bought a huge lot of vintage computer items and there were actually several large boxes of arcade related items as well. I've been researching and selling the boards off quite nicely on Ebay "untested," but have not had time to inventory and try to sell quite a few buttons, joy sticks, rollerballs, coin mechs, etc...

I didn't even think to see if anyone on here was interested?! If anyone is looking for arcade cabinet parts, please PM me and maybe we can work something out. I am in San Antonio TX.
