Hi guys
I haven’t posted in ages and given you a update on my new arcade, many good reasons why as for the last few years I’ve never felt happy enough with what I’ve got to show you.
Now my life has changed and I’m extremely happy with the new space I have and my plans going forward I thought it would be cool to document it here as well as on my YouTube channel
Unfortunately within a week of moving which was extremely stressful I broke my arm, not looking for any sympathy as I should have know better, but it has taken its toll on me mentally.
For someone like me who is all ways busy building and creating things I’ve found it very hard to be told I can’t use my arm for 3 Months.
So unfortunately the arcade is going to be on hold until I’m probably mended.
Still I’ve got one game I can play, Gorf and I can just about play my Nintendo switch, other than that it’s planning how the new arcade is going to be.
I currently have 11 machines
Gorf
Robotron
Wizard of wor
Donkey kong jr
Sheriff
Sky skipper
Millipede
Astro blaster
Rescue
And two jamma cabs
The plan is to get 3 more dedicated and maybe a pinball, with 9 cabs down one side and 4/5 down the other and have console area and my bass and synthesiser in one corner at one end.
I’m going to have one cab on rotation and I’ll be looking for a defender,zoo keeper and asteroids deluxe for next year.
Two hopefully of these are all ready waiting for me.
Im going to clad the inside with second hand corrugated roof sheets and pallet wood, but first I’ve got to insulate it and get my plug sockets in.
All this will have to wait but it’s fun planning while I can’t do much.
I’ll update more often here and always on my channel.
Thanks for everyone that’s sent me kind words and support.
And hopefully have a meet next year when we are all out of this crappy situation.
Many thanks
Alex
