Hi, My name is Eric. I got interested in arcade games and pinball back in I guess 1975 when I was a little kid. I had an Atari breakout/pong home console in 1977 and played a few games in arcades at that point but I don't even remember what they were. The ones I really liked that I could remember were Tail Gunner and Star Fire. I started really playing games when I found a Galaxian cocktail table at my local pizza parlor in 1979-80, I remember I put $5 in that thing waiting for pizza. Then I started mastering games like Defender, Stargate, Joust, Robotron, Track & Field, Starwars, Tempest etc. When the fall of arcades started in about 1983 I had a small collection of games, back then I owned a Tempest, Robotron, Defender, Tron, Space Odyssey, Asteroids, Space Duel, and a couple of others, I fixed my first arcade game back in 1983. I have been collecting recently and fixing classic arcade games and pinballs for over 7 years. I have participated in the California Extreme Arcade game and Pinball show for 6 years now. I am always willing to answer any questions about items I sell; I describe them in very fine detail and basically want to make sure the customer is satisfied, if you need better pictures let me know and I'll send some. I am also looking for a few things.... Starwars Cockpit with the 25" monitor working or not, Joust Pinball machine working or not, 2 interconnect boards for a I,Robot pcb sets, and original midway Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, or Galaga cocktail tables working or not. I have games and parts to trade for these items and of course I am willing to pay cash for any of these items so let me know if you got what I am looking for.

I do decent board work but usually only for myself, most repaired items I sell like pcbs have been repaired very carefully by me. If there is any damage it is pointed out in the auction description, as I would never hide anything about an item since that would just compromise customer satisfaction and not to mention my fine reputation. :) Items that are listed as untested are in fact untested. When I have time I test what pcbs I can and have games for if they are found to be not working then they are listed as such with a description of the issues if I remember what they were. I don't usually bother testing pinball mpus or driver boards as I would just go ahead and fix them since the effort alone to test them can be extensive. Fixing and selling these parts and games is pretty much an effort to conserve the lost age of the arcades for the future and for me it's just plain fun.
