Another option I guess is to take a photo of the 1p side once I pull it off to replace the trackball, and make a repro overlay from that?
I've done the masking techniques on old skateboard art before, not sure about with this though.
Hey guys!
I'm unsure how to go about beginning cleaning up this machine!
Everything is fairly straight forward on the rest of it but this 2p side has me scratching my head. I have new buttons and cones on the way and a new trackball waiting to go, its just the playfield that has me stumped...
Yep. Hadn't read that thread, but have now. The guy seems to have a screw loose. He doesn't own the machines, he finds them, I assume he buys them, doubles the price and sells them one. Usually ships direct from the seller to the buyer too.
I don't think he's actually into the games at all, it...
Yep thats pretty much the deal. He's some kind of TV presenter. Sent me a wikipedia link about himself as a reply to my first email through his website : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Thompson
Claims to be the biggest collector of games in the uk and europe! Sounded like a used car...
Yep thats the one.
I'm picking it up from Stoke on the weekend.
Already got a new monitor bezel on the way and 3x the cones for the buttons as well as new trackballs and a rebuild kit for them both, but like you said the 2p side is busted pretty much art wise.
I'd appreciate that contact...
A coin pusher? Weird.
No risk of that. Heavy Barrel is going to be what it will end up. Now to try and find some art. Mamemarquees has Ikari Warrios CPO's, but thats nowhere near as cool as HB even though its almost the same.
I haven't tried to rotate it as anything I want to convert it to is vertical. Yep Heavy Barrel does use the rotary sticks. I can get them from Happ. They aren't the cool yellow ones, but they will have to do unless I can track some original ones down. I'd love an original CP too!
This is...
Not that I know of. They are often found in UK pubs with any random jamma PCB under the sun in them. Sell quite cheaply (for here anyway) on eBay all the time.
This one came with a few boards, Raiden and a couple of games I didn't know like Supervolley, Worldcup 94 and Football Champ. Ah and...
UK Leisure 2000 cab. Can I convert it to something?
I've just picked up one of these quite cheaply :
It's in quite nice condition and has a Raiden board in it, all working fine.
Is it possible to convert this to something dedicated? Maybe a Heavy Barrel? The marquee area looks smaller...
