I really like it at first glance. The more I study it, the more the shape of the background feels harsh. Maybe it is just me. I like the building, flags, cars, colors...just not the shape of the background. I went down this same path myself a year ago when my search for the sideart appeared...
Thanks and sorry! I can’t imagine taking longer than me to finish up a restoration. If I had to do it again, I would only restore one game at a time so the rest of my collection would have been playable over the last decade.
I went to fire up my Centipede cocktail a week or so ago and nothing. Nada, no sign of life from the monitor. Ugh!! So, I open the cabinet to find....nothing! It turns out these games play a lot better if a monitor is installed. At some point, I must have pulled the dead monitor so I...

Look at that! I finally put the wraps on my Turbo restoration. I would give this one a B+ as I did cut a few corners but honestly I doubt 99.999999% of the people would notice. However, any time you get a game working is victory in my book. I was luck enough to salvage the t-molding which...
We are looking at a similar feed. Did you happen to catch this gem? Looks like explosive diarrhea plastered all over the bottom of this Galaxian. Suddenly, the AD becomes much easier on the eyes.
My Turbo Mini had the same style pedal assembly hinge…and I had to drill out the screws as well. I feel your pain. Turbo has a polished metal base and there was some type of thin white plastic under the plate where the peddle assembly screws into the base. I wonder if that white film was just...
