Avid arcade collector. Here is a link to a list of my cabinets and game boards:

I own two restaurants, also. The company is called Andy's Burgers, Shakes and Fries! Cooking and games are basically my life.

Most pics on my account will be of my video game collection, especially my arcade collection. I have been collecting arcade cabinets since my dad got me my first one back when I was in middle school. I've basically taught myself how to do everything related to games (repairs, restoration, conversions, etc.) myself. I even worked at an Alladin's Castle arcade (namco owned) and did all of the repairs the summer after I graduated high school. I taught the manager how to do repairs because namco wouldn't teach them. They let the district managers do on-site repairs. Needless to say that summer no games were down for long.

At first I collected whatever cabinets I could get. Now I try to get only dedicated cabinets. I also collected games from the era I grew up in at first (late 80's through 90's) and have just recently started collecting classics.

As far as the restaurant business, it is good. Sales have been up even though the economy has been down. I started in high school dropping fries and now I own multiple stores in the New Bern, NC area. I look to get at least one more this year. After that, the sky's the limit!!

Drop me a line at jwalski@suddenlink.net if you want to stop by and see my arcade or just stop by an Andy's restaurant if you are in New Bern (except Neuse Blvd. location, not mine.....yet)
