Nothing has been tested. The edge connectors are still secured to the game pcb with the original Atari factory plastic ties.

Oh, I didn't even attempt to deconvert that sliced-up control panel. Wasn't worth it when I could easily acquire a complete control panel in excellent condition.

Here is a pic of this cabinet when I acquired it. The only remaining original internal part was the transformer/fuse brick. Over time, I acquired the pcb, A/R, wiring harness, control panel, marquee...

Welcome!

It is an 8-inch, 8 ohm. Here's my standard post on the subject: In the past, when I needed a new 8" speaker for an Asteroids upright or Lunar Lander cabinet, I'd buy a Pioneer B20FU20-51FW. Sadly, that speaker isn't made anymore. Parts Express does still sell an equivalent to that Pioneer...

I have Lunar Lander #3524 in my collection. I purchased it on ebay out of KC, MO in 2006. Made the round trip drive down from Minnesota to pick it up in person. Restored it to operating condition. I also owned Lunar Lander #509; I purchased it out of an operator's warehouse in Minnesota. It...

While not my very first game (the 4th, actually), I've had my Tempest since October 2002. Acquired it in my first warehouse raid.

Not terribly exciting, but I acquired this sign many years ago out of an operator's warehouse.

When I first took my wife to CAX in 2016, she fixated on the game Kangaroo. After that, I knew that I'd better acquire one. It wasn't until the end of 2017 that a decent example came up for sale in my area. I bought it, did some light restoration and preventative maintenance, and added it to...

Wish that I was going this year! I last made it out to CAX in 2019. Maybe next year...

I had originally planned to make several interchangeable control panels for my MAME cabinet. One with a 4-way joystick and a spinner, one with a trackball, etc. The control panel in my MAME cabinet is identical in shape and size to that from a Taito Double Dragon cabinet. I used to own two of...
