Hey Jeff,

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to build. I actually sent the info for it to RetroBlast. I visited their site everyday and noticed a link to contribute stories. I figured there would be a lot of collectors out there that might want to make their own sign.

Can’t wait to see your new site design. I read in the comments for one of your posts you are going to update it.

Pretty cool little sign for sure, that isn’t a new idea among the commenter(s) here.

But I will say that it was smart that EvilMadScientist.com and LadyAda.net came to your rescue and helped you troubleshoot your issues. They may have felt no obligation, but by helping out you, the arcade collector, they have made their product that much more appealing to other arcade game collectors. Your article got picked up on Retroblast I see, so a good amount of people got to see your Pac-man Eat Me LED sign, so hopefully that will bode well for their business.

Thanks Gunbu. MacGyver could probably make the same sign with a roll of duct tape and some paperclips.

I just want to state the obvious here and say that your sign came out awesome. MacGyver himself would be proud.

LOL…thanks! Man, you are fast. I actually just posted this, and was still tweaking the formatting (probably when you were reading it). I need to come up with another $80 so I can make a Space Invaders one.

That turned out great! I love how you decorated your game room, and that sign fits right in. The room just oozes fun!
