Coin Door Aquired!!
Holy crap this thing is awsome! Just got it in the mail the other day, and it's great. $30 shipped was damn good for this, seeing as how a new one cost more like $65-$70! It's a little beat up, but nothing that can't be fixed. Little paint and I'm done really. The ebay seller says that it was taken out in working order... and while i have no reason not to believe him, it's still to be seen. I can only hope this thing works out okay. Not totally sure as to whether or not it can be set to accept anything other than quarters, but even if it can't, that'll be fine... it's really just for looks, not functionality. Next is the controls, casters, and T-molding. I've priced it all out, and if i order from dreamarcades.com (plug), 4 joysticks, 26 pushbuttons, 4 player buttons, 4 lockable caster wheels, and 35 feet of 3/4" smooth black T-molding, will run me about $93 with shipping! Mega dig it!

Keyboard Encoder has been Purchased!
Friggin sweet! I just popped on ebay today and just for a goof, searched for the i-pac4 (pictured left) and there it was! Used, but $20 cheaper than I would have paid for it. Holy crap this thing is gonna make everything a whole lot easier when it comes to wiring everything. In case you have no clue what the hell I'm talking about, check the post right below this one. Really didn't think I was gonna find this, but I got lucky... now we'll see how far the luck runs...
