I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who helped me on Saturday.
Dave Astill - Thank you for dropping off the Arena pin!! Plays good, I'm looking forward to making it shine And thanks also for the Motordome sound ROM! it's a big help
Highspeed - Huge thanks to Rick for bringing some stuff down from Ottawa for me. It was a tight fit, but it got done!! I'm realizing more and more that I really should get a trailer hitch.. Thanks, man!!
And the biggest thanks of all...
Teamatomics - Craig is an amazing guy. Thank you for your generous offer of giving me two classic arcade cabs and and a few parts to sell to get back some of the money I lost in the whole scam mess.. a real incredible guy, that Craig. I think we'll both be glad to put this whole mess behind us.

OH! And thanks to Monkeybug for helping me buy the right parts I needed from Starburst.

Machine Slave, thank you for the props, I've been on edge hoping they've arrived safely. I can't take a full generosity credit, it's mostly the scammer's money, and at least I get to sell "something" out of the whole mess to make up for the auction fees, crating, and moving etc. Now I can sell the rest of the games I have and live in peace, and you have the task of selling some. I've already thrown away or destroyed a $1000 worth of parts and machines in the past year, so giving away another $1000 isn't much of a stretch.
Leaving this sketchy hobby and industry will save my sanity, so I guess I should thank you also.
