Eh, Yo! This week we dive into Vintage Vault Arcade. We had the pleasure of getting to know the owner of Vintage Vault Arcade James Srenc this week. James has a unique story of how he opened Vintage Vault Arcade. James started his addiction just like other collectors, getting a game and playing with friends. He enjoyed it so much that he bought more games with the money he made DJing with some of the largest DJs in the world. As he collected too many games for his house he opened Vintage Vault Arcade. James walks us through some of the challenges and victories he has had with Vintage Vault Arcade. You can visit Vintage Vault Arcade just outside of Milwaukee in Mukwonago Wisconsin.
