Many new projects started. They include many Taito games, several new fighters, a couple new 4 player games, a shooter, 4 Nintendo games, and an uncommon Gottlieb game that I’ve been looking forward to restoring for a long time. Here are a few pics of the beginning stages. Stay tuned for updates as I progress.

Quite a while ago I posted about a couple Return of the Jedi Arcade games that I picked up that were in a house fire. We had started the restoration process but other things came up and took priority. We are now getting back around to them and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Here are some before pics to refresh your memory and some current state pics. Almost there!!!

I spent some time working on Dragon Saber tonight. Got the control panel put together and working on building and pinning a CP harness. As soon as that’s done I’ll add the coin door and wiring and she’ll be done and ready for the gameroom. This thing has been sitting in my kitchen for a couple months, lol
