Just a quick update on APR..
Building - It is still in my plans to move to a large factory / warehouse in the northern Suburbs. I've decided not to utilize the smaller storage building with the planned extension. It is simply not big enough and not situated in an ideal area for me. The larger storage building (the original Pinball building built by Dad in 1975) is going to be sold. Then the factory / warehouse will be purchased. All my games will be moved to the new factory when fitted out, and then I'm selling the smaller storage building. This is a slow process, and I'm stuck using my double garage as a workshop.
Workload - Due to the limited space, and the lack of a spray booth (see above) I've fallen behind. I've had the building issues take up a lot of my time, but this will only happen "once"..So I will catch up. If there's a PM or email I've not answered for a while - resend ! I've been distracted a fair bit recently.
Restorations - My updates are well behind on customer machines. But I will catch up over the next 2 months. I'm booked out for over 18 months for the High End Restorations, but I fill in with the standard work. I have not gone near one of my games for over 2 years. Even the missus complains that there's nothing to play right now !
Repairs - I started doing house calls, but found that the machines being sold into the home market needed a lot more than just a couple of globes and a coil ! This is "on hold" until the end of October.
More machines ! - Enough for at least another 20 footer, but no room to store them. These will wait until I move.
12 months from now, I should be completely settled in the new setup. There will be some great news that will follow. I plan on regular meets and gatherings, with as many machines setup that I can muster. I just need to work through the logistical issues in the short term.
But it is "all good"..
