Punch-Out!!, PC-10 replacement plexiglass available
by Jeff 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

A forum member on KLOV has a source for getting the smoked plexiglass for Punch-Out!!, Super-Punch Out!!, and PlayChoice 10 machines reproduced. It's not very cheap, but it's something you don't see very often. His pricing $60 +$15 shipping = $75 for one and $120 + $20 shipping = $140 for two. I think he's placing his order Monday, and he's taking money by check (no paypal). I'm buying one, but if anybody else wants one I can put the extra money in for two (or more) and I can collect payment when they show up if anybody is interested. I'll be dropping this off at the post office in about three hours though. If you want to deal with him directly, his KLOV username is Chuck 777.

Contact info for Mike?

Does anybody know how to get in touch with Mike, the owner of Nickel Mania other than calling the arcade location? I have been trying for a couple of weeks to get in touch so I can buy one of his pinball machines and I have no idea if the employees are actually passing along my info. If anybody has any more of a direct way to get a hold of him (phone, email courier pigeon drop location), I would appreciate a little help. I am trying to get the machine soon so I can have it cleaned up and in the arcade befor my in-laws come visiting. Thanks

CRT vs LCD debate may have some merit when we're talking about raster, but there isn't anything like an original vector screen. An ad for this product landed in my box today: http://www.vectorvga.com/

So. I've been radio silent for two years, and now I'm posting twice in a week. I better not overdo it. Anyways, in my limping, broken knee'd way, I've been working in my basement. I want pretty much two rooms. 1) Game room. Alas, no Vids except for a MAME cab, since the others (Dragon's Lair, Star Wars, BattleZone, Primal Rage, and a Pinbot) won't make it through my small basement door. (Strong friends and co workers are amazing) 2) Home Theater Now, I'd like a way to make a architectual drawing, without buying CAD. Anyone have any ideas?

So. I've been gone a long time. Hopefully I don't disappear into the ether again. I moved into a house, got all 14 pins into the basement, had to get one knee scoped. Oh, the fun the joy, the medical bills. I have a Killer Instinct 2. The game boots, I can hear the sounds, but I just get a thin horizontal line with some color in it. Sits smack dab in the middle of the screen. Any pointers on how to fix this (I am a pin puke) Chris ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
