Cheer up, my friend! We are about to release an episode of the RVG podcast where I interviewed Brian Colin. First time I do that! LOL

Waaaait a minute. Is this your first time on this show? If not, why am I only finding out about this now? Please send me a link so I can mention it in the show.

Well, I'm an admin on the RVG forum and there has been a podcast but it is not often out. Now, this will be the first time I'm on that podcast and it is the first interview I do this way. I am listening to the final version now so it should be released this week. I will send you a link when it is out. I do post there about your podcast.

Hi Ferg,
I just bought tickets to visit my mom in Philly 7/17 - 7/22. I would gladly drive down to Delaware to meet up. I know there is one other person on here from Philly as well. Who is it?
But as Eugenio says take care of your self.
All the best.
Ed

Is fixing screwy paddles really as simple as everyone says? Alcohol (91% was the best I could find), cotton swabs, and bada-bing? I've always used WD-40 (or the superior, more long-lasting MotorKote) and Q-Tips. Either way, yes, it's pretty easy. Just make sure the whole metal ring gets coated. Probably the easiest controller "fix" I know of! This guy prefers alcohol, but his instructions are helpful anyway: vintagegamingandmore.com/atari-paddle-repair-cleaning/Thank you very much for the above reference! With the illustrations and easy to follow instructions, I was able to get my paddles working like new! I tested them with a couple of classics like Breakout and Kaboom! Then I tried a new-to-me game I picked up in my most recent lot: Piece 'o Cake by US Games. All I could say about that was, "...well my paddles are working great anyway!"

Cool! I'm glad you were able to get them working well. A superior game in the baking genre -- out of two, granted -- is Cakewalk by CommaVid. It's like a horizontal Kaboom!, or perhaps an easier Tapper.
