Still Recovering...

Like the title says, I am still recovering from my wisdom teeth surgery, and they say no exercise, so I figure hauling a ~200 pound arcade cabinet into the house and up a flight of stairs would probably count as exercise, and not a good thing to do. I have been doing some mental work though. Besides trying to find a new HDTV for my dad, I have also been trying to figure out what is wrong with the TV I got for the cabinet, since it will turn off randomly only to be remedied by a nice bang on the side or top, which last time I checked isn't very good when playing games. I am also trying to figure out the best way to mount the trackball in the control panel. I think I am on to something, but will let you know when I make progress. Another thing which shouldn't be quite as hard is mounting the Ms. Pac-Man joystick. There is still a challenge though, as the shaft is very short. There is an arcade fairly close to my house that if I read their website correctly, has a replacement shaft for the controller, which should fit through the 3/4" material without any routing.
