Hi Arcade Fans
I reach this forum, by a search of repair logs to my new Defender's.
I only tell a little story about mu addiction, because i don't want to waste much of your time...
I am a Portuguese pinball and arcade collector from Lisbon, 44 years old. I have a private gamerrom with near 30 pinballs and same arcades:
Spyhunter upright
4 Daytona usa + 2 for parts
2 Defenders (my grail) that i just buy from usa.
When i was young almost every street have a gameroom of bar with pinballs/arcades, and i pass more time in this places that in home. In the end of 70's i start playing pinball, but when the arcades arrived 1979/1980 the pinballs came to 2nd plan, first i remember playing pong arcade and asteroids and i don't like very much, but when Defender arrives, everything in my world changed this arcade is for me the ultimate challenge i have only 12 years old and i can't play a arcade so hard, and when i see same guys more older playing with only one coin every day and disconnect the arcade at the end of day with bonus, i dream that in the future i will play like them. More later Defender will be changed for "better" and newest arcades but Defender still have a place of my heart forever. I am an game addict (every type) and when i lost much money with one arcade almost all the times i dominated this arcade. The arcade where i play better is the Xevious.
When i was 30/35 years old i start thinking to make a private game room only for fiends, i start with pinballs (I have one great pinball collection, except stern pinballs that i have only LOTR), now i start collect arcades.
Many years ago i try to buying one Defender from UK, but for different reasons always unsuccessful. Now i buy 2 from USA that should arrive at August.
As i have a problem with space in my gameroom i have to sell same pinballs/arcades to get space for my new acquisitions.
I want to sell my Spy hunter, 2 Daytona usa for parts and other pinballs.
I search:
* Xevious working
* Video pcb working for Daytona USA (I want to put 4 working connect to play with my soon and friends, i just have 9 set all unworking, and i buy and learn so much about this that i am almost a specialist in this type of board (joking).
You are all invited to visit my private gameroom in Belas, near Lisbon.
