BIO
We first started repairing arcade games when we bought an original Ms. Pacman, back in August of 2011. The game was purchased off of craigslist and had been stored in a dusty, smelly, and extremely dirty old shed. The shed and dilapidated buildings around it of course had "no power". When we took it home and plugged it in it was dead. While disappointed, we were still excited to have it. To google we went to do some research to see if anyone in Albuquerque or other nearby cities could fix our game, To our surprise, there was no one. All the arcade repair technicians were either not around anymore or didn’t want to bother with these old games. With no options, except taking the game to another state for repair, we decided to learn how to fix it ourselves. After doing countless hours of research, we had a game plan, to get the arcade game up and running again. A few weeks later we had the game torn down, monitor rebuilt, power supply gone through, repaired the game board, cleaned everything, and put it all back together again. To our amazement, we now had a working Ms. Pacman of our own. We enjoyed the game so much that we started traveling to other states to get more game to bring home and add to our collection. Soon, we were fixing games for friends and family. Then, before we knew it, we had a house and garage full of games, and a few years of repairs under our belts. Since we enjoyed this hobby so immensely, and saw a need for arcade repair technicians in New Mexico, we decided to open our own business buying, selling, and collecting these classic 80s and 90s arcade and pinball machines. Join the fun and “Coin-up the 80s” with us!
