Also, still looking for someone in the Triangle area who can repair a Space Invaders!

Virtual pinball machines ARE awesome...but you can build one of your own for a fraction of that price. I built mine for around $1600. (Check it out at www.davesclassicarcade.com). You can also buy them cheaper than that at www.virtuapin.net (starting at around $5000 for a full-sized one).

As for the repair service, I have had a couple of my games repaired by John Clements in Raleigh. His e-mail is pinw...@aol.com. He should be able to help you out. He charges around $50/hour.

Dave - That virtual pinball looks awesome, good job!

I agree John Clements does a great job! He's worked on a few of my machines in the past. After troubleshooting the Space Invaders though, he wasn't sure where to go with it. He didn't find any problems with the power supply or think the monitor needs to be recapped, and said he isn't that familiar with that monitor type.

So I'm still looking for someone.
