Hello and Thank you for visiting our site. We hope we get the chance to work with you and provide you with the most appealing and best functioning multi game arcade cabinet in the world.
We started as route operators for several decades, meaning we owned the arcade games and we placed them in high volume locations like Wal-Mart, Pizza huts etc. and we payed a commission to the location for being able to place them in their stores. Being lovers of the classic games from the 80’s when the coin op arcade was at its highest point we always placed and maintained these games even though the newer generations didn’t appreciate them as much as we did.
The locations wanted new games and mostly merchandise offering games like claw machines and the classic games started finding their way to the back rooms of our warehouse. This was not just us but other route operators across the country where seeing similar trends.
Well this is when we started offering the old classic vintage games for sale on eBay and Amazon and other sites to clear out old stock from my warehouse. Being amusement operators for 30 years we where familiar with the failures of these old classic games and “quick fixes” to patch them up and send them along. We sent them out at dirt cheap prices because they where old games and the cash boxes had paid for them long ago.
Now this is when it got ugly. The buyers of these games where not end use basement rec room buyers but wholesale shops and “home game room” type stores. They where promising the end user and home arcade buyer a trouble free game and “totally refurbished” game when in fact where just flipping the patched up games for a quick profit. The patched up old game we sold for $300 they where reselling on websites for $2500 and advertising it as “Mint classic arcade game, totally restored” and their idea of restoring old games was a shop vac cleaning on inside and some windex on outside!
This is when we started our own restoration shop. We took old classic arcade games and put in all new parts and especially new monitors! (CRT monitors are trash, they are old tech with obsolete technology and are easily replaced with LCD or LED screens, it is cheaper to replace with a flatscreen and it is superior so why would anyone advertise they are still using CRT(glass picture tube TV) monitors now in this century?) We would replace Jamma harnesses if they had been hacked and cut on a million times(which most route games are as techs on routes would make quick repairs in the locations and cut and tape back wires etc) clean all pcb’s and check for any failures or close failures (swollen caps etc) replace buttons with new ones as the springs get weak after time and they start sticking etc.
The restorations could not keep up with demand! this is when we decided to build our very own cabinets. One of our partners had a small cabinet shop where he manufactured coin pushers and we where able to take on this facility and start producing out own cabinets. We are operators first so failures are our biggest concern as a machine out of order no matter how pretty it is is worthless. We streamlined our cabinet as new flat screen monitors do not require the enormous cabinets of yesteryear. We still wanted same game play for the player so the control height and viewing angle of monitor had to be precise and comfortable. We also wanted to make it economical but still “fancy” so we decided on standard LCD monitors and light up buttons and joysticks, also had award winning designers design us a modern 3D skin featuring the characters we loved when we where kids.
The result is now there is a better option for you home arcade! You can still have the old classic coin op arcade games you grew up with , but now when you have that New Years eve party and 50 of your closest friends and colleagues come over they don’t see a broken old space invaders game in the corner, but rather a sleek modern cabinet with eye catching graphics and lighting. It is sure to be the topic of discussion at the party as you scroll the 60 or more games and compete with your old friends for the “high score” on Galaga (which by the way mine is 172K!) or many other of the old games of yesteryear.
All games come with coin mechanism optional but can easily be set on free play mode with just a simple switch.
