We went out to a party last night, but I didn't drink a drop- not that I'm a teetotaler but a DUI in Overland Park can cost up to 10K according to the news yesterday.

My luck after 2 beers, I'd hit .07 and get nailed, so I drank soda instead....

Today I'm building 3 arcade game cabinets in my shop like these:

Happy New Year!

I was sitting in the bar at Teton Village drinking some whiskey and coke waiting for the kids to get out of snowboarding lessons.:beerchug: Harrison Ford sat next to us for a minute, what a surprise! Got to watch part of Hang em High before I fell asleep.

Now I'm just waiting for the kids again, getting packed to go back to Idaho, then off to Oregon Saturday. It's snowing here in Jackson like CRAZY! I'm going to miss it. (the snow, not Jackson)

I'm running a "48 in 1" board which has 48 games from the classic era around 1981. Here's a video of a similar set-up (not my vid) but you get the idea:

That is pretty cool. I have one of the 4 player original Cyberball cabinets that is my baby. Loved that game since High School and it took forever to find one.

Cyberball is a great game, there's a whole video arcade game collecting community over at:

I stumbled into a game auction around 95' and brought the first of many games home. It's a fun hobby finding them in old warehouses, restoring them, playing them and selling. Right now we've got around 30 machines at home split between videos, pinball and jukeboxes.

In my project queue is a Chicago Coin "Flair" Ball Bowler from 1966, it needs to be restored, but will eventually look like this one:

Hey Rox, dod they still have the Tram at Jackson Hole? Last I heard they planned on taking it down, and then decided to leave it for another year or so, trying to raise the funds to replace it.

OMG Rox! I have been on the Idaho side (Grand Targehee) since 12/20. We leave Saturday to head home. We own a townhouse in Driggs. Did go to Jackson one night when the pass was open, but did not ski at Teton Villiage - too many avalanches!!! I never run into Harrison! I did see him once at the airport in Driggs as he flys in here during the summer to give rides to kids and this is where he keeps his plane, or at least he used to. Be careful going through the northwest! The next big storm is going through this area today.

Yes, Teton Villiage replaced the big tram!

I've had 2 commercial Pinball machines for years...got the first one in the 70's...can't even remember which one it is...its been in the gargage for about 20 years now...

Learned a lot about electrical with it. Before I stored it I waxxed the ball surface, sprayed a lot on CRC on the reed switches and removed the rubbers...its a singe ball manual lift model...

My other one is in the house and we play it fron time to time...later model with auto lift...I believe its an "EL TORO"...not at home now so will check tonight
