Hi from California

[MShear]

Hi everyone my name is Mike, I grew up with arcade machines in the house since I could remember. My grandmother would constantly take us to pick up machines with her. We have close to 20 machines from the early 80s and 90s. I came here to learn how to keep these pieces of history going for future generations to enjoy. I have some electronics knowledge and done things like replace capacitors before, I would be very interested in learning how to repair circuit boards as that seems to be a common issue with 40 year old electronics. Hopefully I could get em up and working again. I am excited and look forward to learning and seeing what this website has to offer.

Thanks
Mike
