Game Story
Asteroids is definitely the most popular restoration request I get. I am working on my fourth unit currently.

Anthony from Quarter Arcade was very patient with me when I was starting to learn the proper etiquette of arcade restoration. I broke most of the rules in the beginning. I did gain some confidence and received more support from Kevin's self confidence. We threw in some money, rented a truck and hauled 8 games from Philly to Norwalk.

First Asteroids Restoration Log: Asteroids
I rented a truck with John and we drove out to Chester, NY to buy some project machines. We came back with 21 games. This one gave us some trouble. It needed some artwork and the board died after the burn test. I worked with Kevin to test, clean and stabilize the unit for sale

This latest machine was my first Craig's List find. Moving out of the basement arcade where it was firmly entrenched proved difficult. Fortunately it was a two man expedition so everything worked out.
