Barn Find Tutankhams treasures revealed !

[ArcRevival]

After being locked away in the Barn Tomb for 15+ years, I broke into the Tutankham last night to have a look. Once I finally got the lower panel open and pulled out the drawer where the motherboard and PS are, i found this tucked under the motherboard. It looked like it wasn't touched since it left the factory. The envelope was actually glued shut :

Not exactly a big deal but I thought it was cool for being in a barn find game. But the best part of all is that the game is fully working ! I stuck that sucker on free play and played me a couple games as the cabinet leaned to one side from the bottom being rotten. Can't wait to restore this game and get it in the house.

Tutankham rocks, dude.

Nice. Very nice.

I can't make it past level 4 or 5, I forget which one. The blue map with enemies that look like spinning swastikas. A very difficult map.

If your thinking of parting that out let me know. I need some parts!

i bet if i added the angle cut to the top-back on the sides, i bet that's the same cab as bagman/pooyan.

This cabinet is actually in nice shape except for the bottom few inches on the sides. The tarp that was on it really saved it. I plan on splicing in some plywood on the bottom, repainting it and putting on new Sword Art. It's too bad the cabinet was sitting in the damn mud. The marquee that was on it was busted up a little too, that is a different marquee than what came on the game.

I had the exact same experience with my Tutankham, it was odd because another manual was actually sitting in the back of the cabinet. But, under the board set I found the same package untouched. Great game btw!

Great game! Side art appears nice, too.

Cool find, and cool you could save it. I'm working on an Omega Race right now, trying to save the board. It's crazy.

I am pretty sure the cab is the same otherwise, except Pooyan and Bagman use over/under coin doors, not the Stern coin doors.
