PB #7

And here it is!!! It didn't work at first because one of the pins that attach to the safety cut off 'plunger' had fallen off (which was a heart stopping moment after 6 hours work!!!) But after reattaching, it fired up straight away! In the end I was quite glad to have taken it completely apart because it was absolutely filthy and I could then give it a really good clean!

I found a broken earth connection to the top box/ marquee and so I reconnected it, the problem I have now is that the box doesn't light up but then I don't actually know whether it did beforehand... It comes off easily enough though and just has mains connection going into it so I should be able to work it out pretty easily (later though, there's gaming to be done!) Don't know if it'll stay in that place either, it does seem a shame to hide the Star Wars in the corner, I'll probably swap them around so all the vector games are together.

Things to do still:

  • Get a pink gun! Or a lens for player 2 at least so the second gun is operable.
  • Get a new control panel overlay from NAMCO and some new holsters if they're reasonably priced.
  • Fix the lighting in the top box/ marquee - it'll look fantastic when its done!
  • Give the monitor a cap kit (it does tend to bend at the corners during gameplay).

I'm over the moon with it! Another cab to take off the wanted list!

BIG THANKS to all concerned for all their help, you've made me very happy!
