Any good reads out there?

[IronBuddha]

I'm looking for a book that teaches you how arcade machines work, and maybe even shows how to restore/fix and even build them. Is there a complete A-Z book out there on arcade machines?

I have it on good information that such a book is in the works. 8-)

i cant help but thinking that i saw a book along these lines when i was researching mame cabinets but i cant seem to find it within 5 minutes of googling.

There is Project Arcade, which is just a good starter book for building a MAME cab. This doesn't really teach restoration, or what parts of a real arcade are and how they function.

Looking forward to it! Maybe some one can also do pinball machines, or does one exist for them?

While not in paper form, pinrepair.com is pretty much the end-all be-all of Pinball repair/resto resources.

Awesome, thank you, we have an old pinball machine in the house that features a gate that always breaks. I wanted to learn how to repair the thing, I'll check it out.
