Hi, I’m the one currently running out of garage space over this. Been collecting and restoring arcade cabinets for about six years now, started with a dead Galaga rescued from a pub clearance and never really stopped.
This site is just a record of the restorations as I go – parts hunting, the mistakes (there are always mistakes), and the odd bit of advice for anyone else getting into it. I’m not a professional, everything here is learned the hard way through trial, error, and the occasional YouTube deep-dive at 1am.
Currently working on a Defender restoration and a Ms. Pac-Man cocktail cabinet, both at different stages of “worse than I thought when I started.” Get in touch via the contact page if you’ve got questions, parts leads, or just want to talk about old arcade hardware – always happy to compare notes.
