So this is where you are all hiding

[Penry]

Hiya,

Penry here, I used to be around some years ago when the ukvac was on yahoo groups - actually, i'm still in that group, but it only gets a couple of post a year these days, no idea how to leave it, lol! I Sent someone the archive of the last 40,000 messages it had some years ago too, I cant remember who it was, but thought it was going to be archived online somewhere !!!

Been doing lots of other things for about 8 years, house renovations mainly and haven't done anything arcady for a while (other than play when i get the chance) -

Hi to all (and hi again to anyone who remembers me)

Welcome back!

a lot of the yahoo groups posts are in the archive section of the forum, thou if you still have them it might be useful to grab a copy off you.

feel free to post some pics of your cabs and post in the Members Collections

Hi dude. Welcome back to ukvac. If you still have a copy of the mail archives we'd really appreciate a copy so we can get a threaded archive back onto the site.

Cheers
tim

heya, I've not got alot to photo unfortunatly, an Electrocoin Goliath, an Operation Wolf (electrocoin cabinet version), and a 1940's PYE television i converted into a (m**e) cab a couple of years ago. 20ish pcb's and a NeoGeo mvs.

One of the reasons i've sought you all out is that i'm downsizing my gaming collection, about to sell the op-wolf, and have plenty of faults with neglected pcb's that i'm hoping i now have the time to be looking into repairing !

I had a look for the old mails i had, but haven't yet found the files. it looks like the time period i had has been included within the archive already - as i did find my mail where i discussed sending it out (to Guddler and George) - back from Wednesday 02 Jun 2004 , saying it starts in mid feb 2001" nearly 27000 messages, in 2 mailboxes, just over 100MB total ! " - i expect i've got it on a backup cd somewhere which i can seek out if you want it

Hi Penry,

I remember you. If other people still post on that mailing list can you do us all a favour and send out a message telling the slackers to get their arses on here instead?

Thanks
