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...

Remember to go over to the new thread for the details on ordering a panel!

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...

Nope. My funds and space were very limited back then. In hindsight, I wish that I had been able to pick up that Star Trek and a lot of other gems that were in that operator's warehouse. You can read the story of that warehouse raid at...

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...

Yeah, ten years ago, I scrapped out the (dead due to motherboard capacitor plague) original Win XP PC. I wasn't into old PCs at the time, so I didn't save any parts of it. This past winter, I had accumulated a pile of parts with the intent of building a Core2Duo Win XP retro PC. I could have...

Thanks for all the stories and advice! I spent some time this past weekend and built-up a PC for my old MAME cabinet. This was a mix of new parts, used parts, and stuff that I had on hand. I had intended to install a used Ryzen 7 2700X that I have, but I talked myself into buying a newer...

2003: My first real game room in my first house. Of the games shown, the only one that I still own is the "Total Impulse" MAME cabinet. (Although the Galaga is still owned by a friend who only lives a mile away from my current house.) I really, really, really wish that I had kept the Wacko.

I would buy one. I have an original panel that I could lend. I would have to dig it out to see what condition it is in. It was converted to another game and has at least six extra bolt holes drilled in it.

20+ years ago, I restored a couple Centipede games for a friend for him to resell. (two cocktails and a cabaret) At his request, in one of the cocktails, I replaced the trackballs and fire buttons with translucent red, and then installed lights within each control panel to backlight them. I...
