Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the restoration forum, but since it needs more physical help than TLC, I'll start here. Hopefully Dokert and some other Atari gurus can help me breathe some life into it, but the Dig Dug cocktail I picked up yesterday definitely appears to have some nice restoration potential. It will also put me in good graces with the Mrs. since it's her favorite game. For nothing more than that do I want to get this running.
Still waiting on Tom to get over the flu for the DK Jr. monitor removal/cap project, so we'll move onto this for now.
Below are some pictures and associated questions related.
Thanks in advance,
Evan
Cocktail Top seems to have the wrong underlay (wood grain + a couple inkjet printouts slid under for effect from what I can tell). Where can I get a repro Dig Dug cocktail underlay?
Player 1 CP not bad, but could use a new repro overlay. Do these exist? Also need a coin lock for below the mechs.
Player 2 CP could also use a new overlay. Worse yet, what the heck is supposed to go beneath the CP? Right now there's a black painted plywood board there held in with a couple long wood screws.
Monitor is filthy but looks complete. It's an electrohome G07 (yay something I've worked on!) Right now there's no power flowing to it, but I'll probably just Bob Roberts' the thing while it's out of the cabinet anyways.
Power supply looks to be physically in good shape but the game is dead, so we need to start here. Dokert or anyone can provide me some test points for this thing?
