I respect that. In my case, all I had was the power brick and the AC harness, and too much money into the cab to justify hunting down a power supply, boardset, harness, etc. Plus I really wanted to play some Mad Planets and Qbert on the machine. I have a really nice marquee and bezel here...
I've got a complete uncut AC harness out of a Krull, along with all the yellow grounding straps. So half of what you need. Ping me if you end up piecing this together, and need the AC side. I also have a working Gottleib power brick.
I gotcha. Makes a little more sense now considering your vision for it. Perhaps use a linear gradient going from black at the top to the blue at the bottom. A linear approach would define that bottom edge. Great work.
I hate to be the one that says it, but the gradient does not play for me. I'm looking at the mushrooms, and they're cut off along the bottom edge. The original Willis used a colored area there to frame the main art. Beyond that, I think it over-modernizes the vintage Atari+Willis look to the...
I've got a Krull with a JROK on which I used top fire Wicos for both sticks in order to get fire buttons for games like Mad Planets. I can confirm a top fire joystick will work with the JROK playing Mad Planets.
I grew up in the Baltimore suburbs and remember seeing games in places like bowling alleys and pool halls before everything exploded. We also had the boardwalk arcades in Ocean City. They were filled with skill games, skee ball, pins and a few vids.
Then (as I remember it) Space Invaders came...
Yeah. If the design is subject to change, I'd love to see:
Atari people graphics for the P1 and P2 start buttons in place of the 'player 1' and 'player 2' text, Atari logo to the right of the Willis logo, and remove the 'fire' and 'move' text.
I didn't mean it like that. You traded me a project Pac-Man that I knew up front needed some work to take it over the line. It's great now. Not to sidetrack this thread with Pac stuff, but... The G07 I put in it came out of a Pac-Man, and had very minor burn. Paired with the G07 chassis...
Let's not forget these machines are 40 years old. There's a limited supply of the machines, and a limited supply of parts. Both supplies are growing smaller as time goes on. Basic economics dictates that a decrease in supply will require a market adjustment (a price increase) to keep demand...
On the Road Again
The machine is back on the road again and going into the lineup. Somewhere. I wasn't planning on picking this up, but it was such a good deal and I had mostly everything here for it. I did have to spend $25 with @Mylstar at arcadefixit.com for a NOS shifter spacer, and grip...
PCB Time: Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!
This machine came with a partially working PCB stack. The PCB stack for this machine consists of a CPU board and a Video board linked together using a small Interconnect board. The video board in this machine was having issues as it would not display...
