Brass Oil lamp for 5 Bucks!

 I picked up this oil lamp from a salvage store for five bucks!  It reminded me of an old emergency civil defense lamp. I figured I could shine it up plus it came with a bag of new wicks and heck you never know when you might need emergency light.

X-Arcade project

OK so I learned a big lesson on this one. I got this for free and it had a bad connector on the control board so I went to the scrap electronics heap and found a donor board that had the part on it. Then proceeded to replace the part and reinforced it so it wouldn't break again and it worked!  Now here is the lesson it was a wast of  time because when I went to look up the user Manuel on line this is what i found. 


Indestructible Design With Lifetime Warranty

Office building
Whether you are thinking about forking over some cash for the X-Arcade™ Tankstick or the X-Arcade™ Machine, your X-Arcade™ product is built tough, really tough.

How tough?

Well let’s put it this way, some scientist friends of ours predict that when the world ends there will be two things that will survive; cockroaches and your X-Arcade™.
Now having your X-Arcade™ survive the apocalypse may not be all that useful, as you probably won’t be around to enjoy it, but it does give you an idea of what kind of punishment it can withstand.
So go ahead, let the kids beat way at it, have your rowdy friends over, put it through the paces, this materials are soo tough it is hard to even scratch it.

Cuddle it if you want, but you don’t need to!

Most electronic gaming gear is built with Barbie doll plastic components, but each component of your X-Arcade gear is industrial grade stuff, tough stuff that is then riveted and bolted together with the loving care of drill sergeant.
You’ll probably love your X-Arcade™ so much that you will want to coddle it and wipe it with diapers and we do encourage that, if that is your thing. But you really don’t need to. We mean it when we say X-Arcade™ game room gear is tough and guaranteed to bring you a lifetime of fun.

Built to last: tested for 10,000,000 Uses!
