Thanks for the pictures Azatotht. I always like seeing what went on with a few pics. Wish I could have made it today, but just didn't have time.
His place in St-Janvier sure is brighter and more open than his old shop off of Boul St-Martin. The old place had machines piled everywhere. You could barely move in there.

Splitskull and Mrs.Splitskull came to say hi (love ya guys!!!), and I had the pleasure of meeting Newf112 and his buddy Steve, who were looking for some rotating joysticks, and ended up leaving with a Time Soldiers in a Juno First cab (which looked sah-weet!). They also bought an MAACA t-shirt and some Ms.Pac CPOs I had. It was truly a pleasure to meet you guys!!!
And again, I want to thank Denis for putting all of this together... Even with his eyes hurting, he worked his a** off to make everything great for everybody... and that, people, is a guy who has class! And if you couldn't make it today, give Denis a call, he will surely help you out anyway he can!
A happy and sunburned Sparky!!!
PS: here is a pick of a mere sample of what Denis had outside, and another pics showing off Newf112 and his new toy!!!
It was great to meet you too Sparky and thanks for your help!
Also, big thanks to Denis, great deal on the Time Soldiers game and thanks for the marquee!
I would have loved to have come by on saturday but sadly I worked until 2:30pm......again
Denis is a great guy. I have dealt with him on several occassions and had nothing but excellent words to say about him. He went out of his way once to find a replacement monitor for my centipede, few people would have gone through that much trouble just for one small sale
...You didn't take a pic of the older ones there... Denis has 2 pong-clones... a TV-Ping-Pong 2-player game by Amutronics, and a VERY NICE and fully working 1973 4-player Williams Pro Tennis... I know, I know... not exactly awesome classics, but I have been looking at that Pro Tennis for a while and it would make an interesting addition to any gameroom. It even has a 25" screen!!! ...Black and White Zenith 25" TV! How retro-cool is that!!!
...I wonder if he even has any of those dart games left... those were awesome too, and a bargain at 250$... Too bad I am on a really tight budget...
I'd like to say thanks to Denis for his expert advice. Was gone pick-up a 19 inches cab for a Mame project (altought I'm having a hard time cutting any wires yet...) but he highly recommend the 25 inches for a lot of reasons...He was right all the way! I went home with my new toy: a Neo-Geo System cab. Man I'm having tons of fun just by looking at the way this cab was built. It's a beauty!
Thanks Denis and remember that you owe one to my wife as well (for her final O.K. on buying this cab instead...).
I was also glad to meet you Sparky, and all the rest of the guy's.
Darn! Forgot to buy that T-Shirt...
