The Broken Joystick

On Sunday I drove to York, SC and I picked up a Sega Out Run for $200. Took me 7 hours of driving, but it was well worth it. The game looks and plays great. I wanted a good driving game for the arcade and Out Run was my #1 choice.

While passing through, I also dropped off all my extra PCBs to the guys from Lyons Arcade. They were glad to take them and I was glad to get rid of them and have some space back in the arcade.

I sold my mini JAMMA cabinet last night. Sold it to a nice local guy and sold it with my multigame PCB so now I have to buy another one of those. Funny thing is, he bought the pachinko I saw on Craigslist a few weeks ago and is going to sell it to me for what he paid – $60! So I’ll get that next week.

I was gonna sell the Pengo but changed my mind. I decided to keep it. The good news is, I finally repainted the coin doors and repainted the bottom kick panel black so those look good now. I’ll be going to Charlotte this weekend to pickup an Out Run. I’ll finally have a good driving game!
