Arcade collectors...

[ben76]

Hi all,

I want to throw this out to everyone...

I would like arcade collecting to be known about as I'm sure we all would! I mean its ace isn't it!

So
what I'm after is people with a nice collection to become part of a pdf
(can't be a book yet!) about arcade collecting, why you do it, etc

Just basic things, like why you started, what you have, maybe you're a TG record holder, etc

Now
I don't have much pc time atm but I would like to try to write a
book.... It doesn't have to be stuff you still have but the why and how,
with some good pics!, also if its no longer with you, why not....

If you are interested then please pm me.... I would need some pics and a few questions answered, etc...

I know a lot of guys have great collections, or have had great collections...

Its all in idea stage atm.... but!!!!

Lets get it documented and out there for all to see!

I have seen some great single restoration cabs and several extensive collections ,,over the years,,,,,, so I think its not too relevant if your collection is HUGE or just one or two favourites.... I for one would find a revue compilation quite interesting else why would we all be on here and other forums already looking at members machines pictures and stories? nice idea.

GOOD LUCK BEN

Ok people that have expressed an interest in this have gone on a list. If you just pm'd 'interested' then I am assuming you would like to see some pics, stories, etc.

Still not sure on how to do this but had a bit of a mess about and also Rog has made one too.. What do you guys think of it being like these ideas (they are still rough but just trying to find where to go with it!)

So again that is a rough mess about. Would you guys want it like that for each page (maybe miss off real names) obviously different people would have different questions. Or should it be more or a book style?

All input is greatly appreciated and also if you haven't yet applied I may contact you when I know where this is going

Cheers everyone that has shown an interest!

Great idea Ben!
About time we did a book/article, rather than buying/watching US stuff!

I'll send some stories, etc. over.

Cheers,
