Hi! When it comes to Golden Age classic arcade video game restoration and upgrade, we are one of the best in the world.
I know of no others as prolific or as engaged in that part of the arcade video game business as we are here at Ace Amusements.
We can restore, upgrade, and modernize almost any beat-up 30-year old Golden Age arcade video game machine to look and play like brand new.
The finished product is simply amazing. Because, we can restore a machine to its original like-new condition.
Or, we can upgrade and modernize a machine by installing a multi game system, a new LCD/LED monitor (not the old obsolete CRT monitor) , apply all brand new graphics, and replace all the old with new mechanical and new electronic components.
You can see the photos below of some of our many past restoration, modernization, and upgrade projects. Indeed, it is usually love at first sight.
Inquire if you see one you want. We may have the cabinet in stock, because we inventory 100's of classic arcade video game cabinets.
For a few, like Atari, Midway, Nintendo, and Williams, we can build the classic cabinet brand new. See the list below for examples marked with (*).
Many classic game cabinets are candidate for upgrading into a multicade - multiple games in one machine. Be sure to inquire about that possibility.
Here is feedback (9-2014) from a very happy refurbished and upgraded Donkey Kong customer:
Hello Steve,
I wanted to give some time between my receipt of my Donkey Kong machine and this feedback email so I could give you the best feedback based over time. First, what an excellent job. For anyone to find fault in your craftsmanship, they would be setting their standards way to high. The Quality is amazing, even after 5 months of HEAVY use from myself, family and friends. The machine is top quality and everyone that has seen it, immediately asked to play it. For people above 40, it was so unexpected to see their faces light up like kids again. Even though my wife teased me about the purchase, at least once a week she challenges me to “a butt kicking”. That alone is worth the cost of the machine!
After 6 months of heavy use, I am happy to say that my machine has had absolutely no issues or quality problems. I came on your website to see how to lubricate the joystick as that is the only maintenance issue I’ve even started to notice. The decals, cabinet quality and layout are absolutely top rate. I very much appreciate your hard work and care that went into my machine. My wife and I tease that with the amount of playing time from the 2 of us, our 5 nieces and nephews and our friends, if it took quarters, it would have already paid for itself.
As you may remember, I had told you I went through your website and many others for months before ordering. I am so glad I did. I got a fantastic machine that FAR EXCEEDED my expectations.
I look forward to ordering another machine from you, probably early next year. Thank you again for everything. It was one of the easiest and smoothest processes I have ever had in ordering any product.
Have a great day!
