Hi folks!
Like many of you I loved to bash out a few credits on the pinball or arcade machine down at the fish and chip shop back in the 70s-80s when I was a kid. I used to collect glass bottles with refund valued at 5c a bottle then go and blow the earnings in one fell swoop.
I have been tinkering with various arcade machines over the years.....one thing led to another and I ended up the proud owner of a 1974 Williams Skylab. Now the bug has bitten hard and surely another machine will soon follow (then another and another until marital discord finally puts an end to the excess!).
I am here hoping to get some sound advice to keep my machine running and to perhaps sniff out another to join it in my "Great Temple of Amusements" located in my back room with my arcade machines and enough obsolete console stuff to choke an elephant!
It is going to be great to be able to talk about this kind of stuff without being looked at with a mixture of bemusement and even fear!
I hope to feel amongst brethren here......I am not insane!!
My other interests include vintage motorcycles and amateur rocketry. Any one else here into this stuff too??
