Pics cause it did happen!!!

Pickup Day...

So my Dad and I drove 30 minutes to pick up the frame. It's an old Star Castle frame that feels solid. The person who gave it to me said he had plans to build a MAME machine himself, but it fell through. His loss is my gain. I'll need to fix the edges, maybe put some more supports. Still unsure what size monitor to use, or if I want to use a CRT or LCD. Hopefully I can get some recommendations. Pics coming soon...

The First Step

So, after many years of wanting, I have finally made the first step into building an arcade. I will pick a Star Castle arcade frame tomorrow. The condition is listed as "slight weather damage," so I am expecting the worst. But after some blood, sweat, tears, and an earful from my loving and supporting fiance, I will have my arcade. My project officially starts tomorrow. Wish me luck, because I have a feeling I will need it.
