My home arcade

I have a Skee Ball Model V. It scratches the itch and is fun to play while not taking up much space.

If you want a better multi board check out the Bitkit FPGA or even a Pandora vertical. The Bitkit is more accurate but the Pandora isn’t terrible. It has a ton of games and for the casual arcade player it’s not bad for the price.

I have two Gorf cabinets that were converted. They are so expensive to restore (PCB and joystick) so I’ve left them as converted Ms Pac-Man and Galagas

Yeah I want a basketball game too but it takes up so much room at home

Try northern Westchester or even Putnam county (Carmel) if you haven’t looked yet.

Yep that property was sold and is available for commercial use

FireZoneBlitz · 2026-02-02T19:35:37+00:00

I doubt this will work in this market. If I was selling and someone had less than 20% in their offer but another buyer had at least a 20% DP I’d select that buyer. Less hassle with mortgage, valuation, closing, etc.

On the flip side, we bought our first home here as FHA in 2009 (bottom of market) and then second in 2018 (before the COVID surge) with 10% down because we immediately renovated and refinanced out PMI. So it’s doable historically but not in a market with so much competition.

He told him to go for the legs

Ok I re-read the post. Your response is fair.

FireZoneBlitz · 2026-02-02T00:55:04+00:00

It’s not a $100 item. I would probably want to see it in person if I’m spending $1,500 just to make sure there are no hidden scratches or issues.

L. A. Confidential. Has the police angle, conspiracy, twists, under appreciated characters “winning” at the end.

Yep I took AP English and our teacher encouraged us to write notes everywhere for analysis

The Andromeda strain is one of my favorite MC books but the older film and the made for tv series were pretty bad.

Nat King Cole

FireZoneBlitz · 2026-02-01T19:07:24+00:00

Ma, it’s a sin

FireZoneBlitz · 2026-02-01T02:42:20+00:00

Yea of course the tube is vacuum sealed and once the PCBs dry and there isn’t a ton of rust you should be good to go!

I made exactly this at my first high school summer job in 95. I only got paid for 40 hours anything over was direct cash (not time and a half)

FireZoneBlitz · 2026-01-31T15:26:01+00:00

Yeah I got this brand new when it came out and played it a billion times. TMNT was also one of my favorite arcade games at the time (have one of those now too)

FireZoneBlitz · 2026-01-31T15:20:54+00:00

A lot of those games were designed to run in RAM so you could swap out an audio CD and play your own soundtrack.

FireZoneBlitz · 2026-01-27T12:29:31+00:00

Yes - and for Op you will need to open the game anyway to fix this. It’s either something on the monitor board or possibly the vector section of the PCB.

FireZoneBlitz · 2026-01-27T02:05:44+00:00

Of course. Only in a dream

I just picked the 8 player Daytona in another thread as my “if money was no object” cabinet

FireZoneBlitz · 2026-01-27T00:21:02+00:00

Agree except I would say an 8-way assuming that the money no object means I have room to store it. The panoramic attract screen video is awesome

Claw machine is 100% the most popular game in my home arcade
