JD told me about it from day 1, i been exchanging messages with him for about 6 months before buying my first machine...
Files sections would be nice yeah, with pdf and stuff, just gotta make sure they are legal, as i think Gottlieb is not allowing their manuals to be online..
Its very nice to meet other people from Montreal (and anywhere else ), i sometimes feel like i am the only one to like pinball machines... trust me from all my friends i'm the only one, they keep laughing when i pronounce the name.. |

As far as manuals go! if there is a legal issue we can rewrite it in our words and change things here and there and they cannot do anything. If it is not their manual that is posted there is nothing they can do. All we have to make sure of is that we not committing any form of plagiarism.
The best would be to do like the Haynes Manuals for cars. And that is to create your own manuals based on a complete teardown and rebuild. I realize this is difficult since we do not have all the machines to do this with but in the end it would pay off because these documents can be published as well. |

I found it after a lot of digging.
Started at arcadecontrols.com, was looking over some projects and found a one from a Canadian named Russ, he had a link to arcade4all.com. After poking around there for a while I found the link to MAACA.
Finally! An active board with members within a 2 hour drive!

One of the administrators saw a pinball advertisement of mine on Mr. Pinball Classifieds and directed me to this site. I believe it was either Sparky or JD3. I'd like to thank the administrator responsible at this time. Thanks, your site rocks!
I really get a kick out of some of the posts, while at other times I get necessary information to fuel this hobby.

I was searching for Car Body shops, and Google asked me if I meant "Maaca" instead of "Maaco", so I decided to sell my car and play vids. I'm also on CGCC, which is the gateway drug to Maaca.

I have had it book marked for quite a while, But never really had a chance to poke around and see what was here. Seems like a pretty cool group. A bit of a scaled down Canadian version of RGP, and that is not a bad thing at all!

I found MAACA through CGCC.ca. I think Monkeybug posted a link there once upon a time. And Diamond Dave mentioned it once or twice as well, when I first got into vids. |

Recommended by a member as an excellent place to browse and post classifieds without the scams and scrap currently infecting ebay and craigslist. The fact that its ALSO a place to discuss and share everything pinball (and vid) - is a huge bonus! I am going to like it here!!  Regards Jeff |

Long story short, arcardes were the family business in the late 70s to the mid-80s and after having numerous games in the basement from the age of 5 onwards, I miss it. then the GF tells me I need a hobby since I seem.. bored.... woohooo!
I googled last night, "montreal arcade" and this site was the first hit.

I sold a pin (Cirqus Voltaire) to pins only, hasn't everyone? He mentioned this site and I have been enjoying it since. Great to find others with the same interest, some great info and tips. I am starting to feel like I know some of you guys from the frequent posts. |

I was looking for pin collectors in New Brunswick, I wrote MrMikeman after seeing his name on some dated owner's lists. He wrote me back saying he moved but to check out the forum. Poking around a bit tonight and the forum looks really interesting. (It'll be even more interesting when I'm at work on Monday!)  |

Thanks! That's actually me in the Stormtrooper costume. The belt actually reads "Royal Rumble Pinball Champion" and whoever gets the high score on a given night gets to wear the gold! |

My whole life I have been an arcade rat, trolling the arcades looking for a race in Daytona, a fight in Street Fighter or even a shoot out in Lethal Enforcer. As time passed, a lot of the arcades I held dear started to disappear...... and before I knew it, I was better off just inviting friends over and playing on Mame dumps or the good ol systems. But my lust to combat strangers, to leave my mark on a record board that could be challenged by the world (well the locals of that arcade...) push me to find every arcade in Montreal and see what is still beating. I still went to my current stomping grounds at Amusement 2000 Plus downtown, but I wanted more. So I found this place. |

I dig my way up here throught the wonderful world wide web... Or some call it GOD... I mean Google... I wan doing a research with the proper key word I guess If I discover this place...
Improvement: Section/forum, FAQ with all the shop/store near MTL who can provide us with this fabulous world of gaming...
Also it can be useful to have a section with online store where we can buy replacement part for the games or helpful website concerning arcade... Some sort of 'your favorites' in internet explorer...
Also a FAQ 'bible' with all the proper name for each part of an arcade/pin
Obviously I'm new to this... And It's kind of pretty hard to have all the information at the same place... It's always a hard time to get from a website collect a bit of information, get to another one collect more information, and on and on... It's shouldn't be like a puzzle... It's should be one place! With all the knowledge this community can offer!
Also a section: Buy/sell |

TIPS AND HOW TO section... The problem is that if we create more and more categories, we would get lost in the info. As for links to online stores, you need permission to "officially" have a links section. Most stores have turned me down, probably thinking I wanted something in return... not at all in fact. So members post on certain stores. As for a part name... I don't think you realize how many parts there are out there. Best thing is that if you are unsure, ask! No one here will laugh at someone who is starting out in the hobby, or merely needs info on a part. |

Believe it or not I heard about you guys from a fella looking to buy tires who's a member on this board..... We got to chatting only to find out we are both into pinballs. He set me up with the link so I signed up looks like an informative site.
See you on the boards. TFC
BTW - I'm into antiques, Ford trucks and wedgeheads....... |

A friend of mine told me about this site. I bought my Mata Hari from him and he highly recommended this site. I think it's great that you can go to a site and the whole objective is to help each other out and share ideas.
I am just a rookie when it comes to fixing machines, but I am willing to learn, and I have already learned a few things thanks to this site. |
