BIO
We first started repairing arcade games when we bought an original Ms. Pac-Man in August 2011. The game was purchased off 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 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, game board repaired, everything cleaned, and put it all back together again. To our amazement, we now had a working Ms. Pac-Man of our own. We enjoyed the game so much that we started traveling to other states to get more games 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!
