1) target of my affections

This is the old Konami "ALIENS" arcade machine I intend to restore and rebuild. I bought off eBay for $100.


Here is the machine in our basement. Its not in bad shape, it just needs to be cleaned up a bit.


Closeup of the controls. Mine will have 6 buttons per joystick plus have a track-ball in the middle.
