Join us as we invite our friends Marc Crouse, Roger Deem, and Gene Wills on to the show in our very first roundtable discussion. On this episode, we discuss our memories of arcades from our youth, our favorite games, and the current state of arcades today.
Elmer’s Rotted Wood Stabilizer
The wood repair glue Roger mentions.
Good representation of how much arcade games cost the operators nowadays.
$30,000 will buy you this!

There are a lot of pinball podcasts out there, but this one is waaay above the rest. Tune in and listen to Rod, Gaz, and Pinball Stevie give you a down under take on pinball. They are only on episode 5, but they have the podcast thing nailed. It is also very interesting to hear about the pin scene in Australia. Soon as you finish up with our episode, go there!!
Need a pinball shipped? These are the recommended guys.

In episode 102, we gave you some ideas on where to buy your first pin. In this episode, we discuss things you need to bring with you when you go to pick up your pin, and also items to check before you even think about plugging your new pin in. Unfortunately, we also give you cave like voice quality, and laptop fan noise! We have been trying new ways to record the show with both of us in the same room, and we just haven’t got it down yet. Can’t blame the Yeti mics, just our idiocy. We do apologize, and bear with us, as it will get better…we hope.
Very good prices and good quality on LEDs! Check out Comet Pinball:
Florida area forum that has a pretty good pinball/arcade classifieds section:
