Hello everyone,

I recently picked up a Canyon Bomber that is in fairly rough shape. I am asking to see if there is anyone else out there that would need an art scan or a set of cabinet plans made and posted to the website. My issue is that the game has a unique cabinet that is not shared with any others from the time period. I am thinking I may try and refurbish what I have. I can probably do the restore / clean up in a couple of hours, but scanning the art (even with my new jig) will take a while....but add on tracing the cabinet and cutting a new one will make it days worth of effort.

Thanks
Brian
 
Aww, I'm jealous. Been wanting to find one of those for a while. Great game.

I'd say do the work to post the info anyway. It will help preserve the game in the long run.
 
i have one in a terrible state, need to disassemble it and make a new cabinet or at the least replacing most of it

original art work appears to have been screen printed directly on the cabinet
 
It's on my list, too, where I'd buy one locally if the price was right. I'm not sure that I'll ever build my own cab for it, but would buy a set of art just to have them and support the project.

Looking forward to seeing how it goes! (and open to PM's if anyone around Chicagoland is selling one...)
 
so, if you do scan the art please sent me a file, this may be a way for me to redo the art on mine - i think

this is the main reason mine is still in storage and in a very sorry state
 
Looks like I will be doing a full cabinet rebuild on it. Moved it into my shop last night and I had to vacuum up a trail of wood it left behind =-).

Anyone have any advice on dealing with the scan?

Thanks

other than needing a scan of the artwork, sadly i cannot offer any advice other than possibly consulting with Markrl ? he seems to do this sort of thing from time to time
 
Started tracing the cabinet tonight. Hope to get it done some time this week and I will get the side art scanned sometime after I am done.

Show some photos. This is a really terrific underrated/unknown B&W. I'd love to own one some day.
 
Great freaking game.

I would love a Canyon Bomber.
