Rearranged the line-up
Making room to work on Taxi and set up some art studio space so I can make paintings again. Will end up bringing big guns to the office but need to finish up some work on it. Planning to repaint the space mission cab this summer, then maybe that gets sold. I think the garage…

Space Mission working, schematics FTW
Spent about 5 hours going through the entire machine over the weekend. Inspected and (if needed) adjusted every relay and score reel in the game. Found quite a few problems on score reels, namely some loose connections or broken solder spots so I made all those repairs. After that the machine wouldn’t do anything upon…

Clear coating Space Mission
I haven’t been doing anything out in the garage but playing Surf Champ since I fixed it. Last week I broke that habit and put on my nitrile gloves and my respirator and rolled the second to last coat of clear on. Put the final coat on tonight. I know that it won’t be completely…
