Anyone buying the bumper crop of local games?
by Sean McLachlan 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Just curious if anyone was buying up the flood of recent local games. I am out of space, yet I have picked up 2 (Pole Position and Tempest) in the last couple months, and if Jason's Space Duel is still available I'll probably buy that and put it in Pete's warehouse. Man, I told myself for years that I wouldn't cross the "off site storage" line, but it looks like I'm falling into the abyss. I've now got games at my house, work, and the neighbors. Anyone else with any recent activity to report? -- Sean McLachlan

In case you hadn't discovered this on your own -- Ra Elco is closed on saturdays during the summer. *grumble* the selection at radio shack gets smaller every year. --Kurt

Hey Sean, I have done a tube swap on a 6100 before. Pretty easily swapped out but the convergence is a bitch to do. I have a tube here with almost no burn that we could work something out for if you need one. I probably have a spare working 6100. Not sure on that but I know I have two spare working Amps.

New Tempest cocktail at Sean's house.
by Sean McLachlan 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

http://www.flickr.com/photos/28458225@N06/ Hit the large size pics, the small ones don't do this justice. It's not perfect, of course, and the monitor was gone with the game boards. PS, AR I, etc are there though. I did find a complete WG6100, but it's got a lot of Space Duel burn. Might try a tube swap, if I can find a tube. Anyone done a tube swap here? Kurt, I'm glad I haven't returned your tempest boards yet! -- Sean
