First stage of the project
Like any project ,it took long discussions and much documenting but in the end it came out quite fine.
Me and my friend worked as kitchen staff and our work program was 2/2 days shifts, we worked 2 days from 10:00-23:00 at a Burger Restaurant (THE BEST BURGER RESTAURANT) and then we had 2 free days ,that was a lot of time to spare.
One day my friend also my partner in crime came with the ideea to build arcade machines, to bring retro gaming back in the light.
It took about a week to set up the templates and find the special equipment needed,we ordered what we needed from the internet and the started working, slowly but steady it gained shape 36034246_1045075308967081_4206424466428788736_n.jpg
This was the first working model that we built and we were very proud.
We took some photos and uploaded them on social networks and online second-hand stores , about a week later a got a call from someone and told me that he was interested in buy-ing a arcade machine kit made by us.
There was a little surprise, we thought that no one was interested anymore but looks like it is the other way arround.
No time to waste , we started working on the project and in 2 days it was already sent ,we had our doubts because it was the first wood template made for someone else.
The package was delivered and i had no ansewer from the guy for about 5 days, first i thought it was a scam but the man returned the call and was very pleased with the product ( That was a very big relief).
For a while we made templates for other and worked well, the one order came for a full functioning stand up arcade machine, it was tricky because we never built a big arcade with a sistem.36045967_1045075148967097_1203944839909998592_n.jpg
Started from scratch we got it going ,we transformed my friend`s living room into a arcade workshop ( IT WAS FUN)
We encountered a lot of flaws with the assembly , electrical system , coin acceptor and our dead-line was close , it took s 3 full days to get it done and with another hand to help, we were tensed ,angry ,nervous but in the end :

Awesome stuff and great work, thanks for sharing!
I've actually been doing some "historical" gaming posts lately, covering noteworthy games released in certain years (just made two about 96 and 2000) - really cool to see this kind of stuff still being a "thing"!

Thank you so much
