Features

40% the size 100% as fun

Each game cabinet is meticulously scaled to match the original and uses authentic controls and coin mechs. Stylistic acrylic windows show the original components and inner workings of the game.

Original Boards

Every game uses the original licensed PCB. No emulators or multi-game bootleg boards.

CRT Screens

Every game uses custom built or difficult to source 9-13" CRTs that accept 15khz RGB video signal. I never use LCDs. They do not look right and introduce unacceptable lag to the game.

Free Delivery

I deliver directly to your business or home within San Francisco. The games are small, so tight spaces, stairs, escalators, and any other challenges are no obstacle!

Variety

Don't spend big bucks on one game that not everyone likes or will get tired of. Small Change Arcade will deliver a different game every month, so you, your customers and staff will never get bored!

Locally Built by Hand

Every part of the cabinets are built by hand in San Francisco in the tiniest of workshops. All acrylic is hand cut and bent. All artwork is hand painted, or faithfully redrawn digitally and printed on appropriate vinyl.
