    Found or No Longer Wanted Wanted: Q*Bert harness

    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...

    Found or No Longer Wanted Wanted: Q*Bert harness

    I feel for you. I found the same type of butchery in my Krull. I ended up doing a full rewire and put a JROK in it. Good luck finding all the bits.

    Found or No Longer Wanted Wanted: Q*Bert harness

    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.

    VOTE ! - Centipede CPO 2025 Remix of Willis

    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.

    VOTE ! - Centipede CPO 2025 Remix of Willis

    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...

    FS Parts: Top Fire Joysticks (Ninja Gaiden, Silk Worm, etc.)

    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.

    What 80’s Arcades Really Looked Like

    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...

    I suggest white for the 1P and 2P, or stick with black. The logo placement looks great on that front flat.

    VOTE ! - Centipede CPO 2025 Remix of Willis

    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.

    This is awesome. I'll definitely buy one from you if you have them printed.

    Pole Position Restoration (Survivor) UR05123

    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...

    The self-inflicted price explosion of KLOV

    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...

    Pole Position Restoration (Survivor) UR05123

    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...

    Pole Position Restoration (Survivor) UR05123

    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...

    MatsuSHITa Out, K7000 In The original MatsuSHITa monitor was in the machine when I got it. It needed a cap kit at the very least and was sporting some pretty serious Game Over burn. I had a Wells Gardner K7000 on hand from a Pac-Man I got in trade from @CharlieG. I ended up putting a newly...

    Pole Position Restoration (Survivor) UR05123

    Controls and Metal As I mentioned earlier, @JC Arcade supplied me with piles of extra parts above and beyond all the NOS stuff he collected for the Pole Position II project I'm working on. Piles. I imagine that over the course of 8-10 years he bought mostly every decent looking steering wheel...

    Fixing Up the Cabinet Next up was the cabinet. It was in really good shape. It doesn't appear to have ever seen water. While the sides are marked up a bit, they look pretty good - actually perfect for this survivor style resto. One of the rear corners was broken on the inside at the...

    Pole Position Restoration (Survivor) UR05123

    Control Panel and Dashboard The control panel was bent pretty badly top to bottom like somebody yanked the steering wheel with enough force to lift the whole cabinet. I took it into the garage and was able to bend it back into shape. Slow and steady. It cleaned up really nicely. It's nice...

    Deep, Deep Cleaning and Breakdown This machine had to be sitting in a warehouse forever. Every bit of it inside and out was covered in dust and rodent mess. It was absolutely covered in dirt and took several passes with various cleaning products like Krud Kutter, LA's Totally Awesome, and...
