I want to use this lens to provide useful, working links to great sources of Arcade related information. By Arcade related, I mean: Classic arcade games, Arcade machines for sale, Arcade repair and maintenance information. If Squidoo introduce an ebay module, that would be cool, but at least I managed to find some cool, relevant stuff on Amazon.
