After a long working time... STAR HAWK!

Wow, that's only the second Starhawk I've seen while I've been a member here, and the first one was rough looking. Great job, as a fellow Cinematronics owner, I'm impressed!
 
It looks new..

i've been lucky...
joysticks were in quite bad condition and someone changed them with new ones, but stored the originals inside the cabinet!!!

what I did:
- monitor changed
- pcb changed (now it's working with a vectorbeam board but i'm working on the original)
- a little work to the coin door
- joystick refurbished with bycicle grips (hehe) and new fire buttons (thanks to andysarcade.de for buttons)
- t moulding glued in some parts
- some metal parts derusted

This is the only other Star Hawk in Europe that I know off and I had the pleasure of playing it ! :)

I notice that the coin-door is different, and yours is missing the side-art on the top ?

yes side art on the top is missing... I remember andreas asked me a picture for his cabinet but it seems in europe that part of side art never arrived :)

about the coin door: I've never seen something similar before

wow thats pretty impressive sooooo clean and fresh, the only thing i noticed was the buttons on top of the joysticks were diffent, i totally dig this, so awesome!
 
That is an Atari "owl eye" coin door... the original must have been replaced at some point?

Most of the Starhawks I've seen have the early Cinematronics rectangular coin door:

Your kick is entirely different from mine and others I've seen, tho...

Edit: Sorry, didn't realize you are in Europe! That door might be original and specific to the European production. Very interesting. Great job!!
