I'm an arcade virgin, looking to recreate a small part of my misspent youth. I wasn't allowed to use arcade machines often as a kid because we couldn't afford it, so they've always had a rather glamorous, romantic appeal to me. I did have a C64 and Amiga though, so played plenty of variable quality ports, and always loved playing the real thing on the few occasions that I was able to.

My aim is to get a JAMMA cab with original monitor, and then install a switcher so that I can run proper PCBs and connect it up to a PC with MAME etc. I also want to try and get a Pinball machine, although that sounds like a proper maintenance nightmare!

Looking forward to learning as much as I can from the forum.

Being born and raised in Exeter myself I know your pain when trying to get hold of Arcade related stuff. I moved up to Stafford 5 years ago to move in with the missus and it's much easier to find stuff locally up here. However two things that I miss are the beaches and proper Pasties.

Welcome to the forum!
