Hello all, I am new to this so please bare with me. I am looking to purchase (home game room) a POG machine, but do not know where to start. Sure I have visited a few sites and whatnot but the prices differ greatly. My question is would I be better off putting one together myself? Is this even feasible with the limited knowledge I have? Thanks for any help.

If you can read a road map then you can read a wiring diagram.

If you're handy with small tools: pliers, screwdrivers, crimping tools, etc... then you can install a board in a cab.

If you can handle a drill then you can drill the holes to mount the buttons/switches. Smiley

Bars and truck stops love these games, that's why they're so expensive. If you can afford one, it's easier to buy from a reputable dealer... do a google search on them to find out if they're screwing everyone over with junk.

Keep an eye out for law enforcement auctions or arcade game auctions in your area to pick up some cheap. Wink
