The Phillytron is a community cabinet for the Philadelphia independent game community, hosting a growing collection of games made by Philadelphians.
The cabinet was converted from an All American Football arcade by Woody Fentress, Jake O’Brien, and Steve Petit.
In spring of 2017 I did some work to preserve the integrity of the 30-year old cabinet, as well as rebuilding the upper control panel and creating several new Neon marquees for it.
In Autumn of 2017 it was featured in the Franklin Institute as part of their Game Masters exhibit
