I got my Tapper and Timber today. It was a long drawn out process with shipping from Canada as I had never arranged shipping and customs before. Both machines arrived unscathed from the move.
The Tapper needs some work and is definitely going to need a lot of it to bring it back to the glory it deserves. It does not work at the moment. Took it in a package deal with the Timber. Looks like SN 3052.
The Timber has been my #2 grail for a long time. It works 100% with a little screen burn on the monitor which is barely noticeable during play. It is in a Root Beer Tapper cabinet but it has a tag inside that you can see in the pic that says TIM-314. The cab is also stamped 314. I thought all Timbers were sold as kits. Did Midway assemble Timbers in other cabs at the factory?
I would think it was just a kit if it were not stamped with the same # as the tag. You can tell there was another tag stapled behind the Timber tag at one point, plus it appears as if they tried to cover up the old serial # stamp as seen in the pics. Someone school me on this.
Anyway I am glad to finally get the Timber and will most likely give it a full restoration since the art is now available. This will be my first restoration so any help would be appreciated.
Does anyone know where you can find the player 1 and 2 start buttons?
