Been a long time lurker on watching all the awesome projects being unfold and bought some of them. I got my first cabinets back in 2010 when I bought a TMNT (TMHT) 4 player cabinet and a two player Super Off Road. Sadly after a move to new house I had to give up on one of the cabinets. I chose to give up on the Super Off Road.
Between 2011-2020 I took break from arcade stuff.
Around 2020 fall I started to buy some new PCB and even found a decent Atari Ray 1100 (Finnish cabinet model) that had a SNK button layout (4 buttons per player) for two players and a rotable screen which opened the possibilities for more games than the TMNT cabinet could offer.
Fastforward to current and went from 5 pcb to have around 100 pcb and 60 mvs in my collection. And have invest stuff from many of the well known members like DarkSoft multis for CPS2, Taito F3, Sega ST-V and the MVS. Also have bought some stuff from Caius and Axunworks for awesome repair options and tools. Also bought some other stuff like Hatsune Mike Splitfire which is one of the things that brought me to arcade-projects.
I have a great interest in getting to know how the PCB actually work and repair them. Love reading other peoples repair log and with their help I have been able to fix some of the PCB I bought. I still got a lot to learn and problem is that I only have finite time to spare on the weekends. Hopefully one day I can provide some repair log that will help someone. I have few small repairs under my belt that I tried to copy paste as many place I can.
My top three arcade companies are:
1st: Konami
2nd: Data East
3rd Jaleco
I also frequent https://www.arcade-museum.com/, https://www.arcadeotaku.com/ and http://ukvac.com/
