Thanks. I might take you up on that.

Thanks nesjess. Hmm... Might be some Elevator Action when I get home. Wish I had the proper board though. What size is that screen?

I don't mean to jump in, but it seems you guys know a little about the taito cabs. Can anyone shed some light on this one? I've partially tried to restore it, unfortunately the paint was hard to remove even with stripper, so I ended up being a little too rough with the scraper. It has a Jungle...

Haha, oh dear. I change ROMs wearing static inducing clothing, all the time. Never had problems so far. But then again, if I'm dealing with something worth more than a few hundred, I'll use a band. Might source the pic chip and have a go at it some time. MK3 is damn hard to find here

The picture above shows what's happening :(

G'day. I'm quite new to authentic machines. No stranger to building tho. Right off the bat, i scored a cheap Paperboy cab. Not the original cab either, it's a tempest cab with wood grain pattern. It boots, it plays. Except where letterbox and obstacles should be, is a line of blocks of...
