Last summer I restored a Sea Wolf, but it was missing the periscope endcap. I was able to get one from Dave(ArcRevival). He took it off the Sea Wolf he found in that falling down old barn(along with a very nice marquee for me, too). I finally got around to sandblasting and painting it. Here's some before and after pics.

I'm currently working on restoring a second Sea Wolf now....

Yippeeeeeee!! Can't wait to see the 2nd one Johnnyboy.
 
Nice. It's good to see yet more of the parts we dug out of that arcade graveyard going to good use. It's amazing how many usable parts we got out of what looked like a total loss to most people.

This is so true. (Dave)ArcRevival sent me the coin mechs out of that wreck, too. Strange thing is the marquee is damn near mint, I would've never thought it was nice at all, seeing the pictures of that old barn. And Sea Wolf marquees are known for flaking paint as well. So it all turned out good.

Here's a couple of pics of the better marquee. The old one was presentable, but looked really bad compared to this one. I'm happy....

hatrick, I know you were there too, digging out those games. So thank you as well...

Wait a minute, did you break the world record with that end cap missing ? The end cap missing would in theory make the periscope lighter allowing for quicker reaction times to fire torpedos. I will have to submit my score now and have TG investigate yours. I smell a movie in the making...

Seriously, it's nice to see your game whole again. I suppose that can be my claim to fame, supplying the end cap for a world record machine :)
 
Man I wish I had more space to grab Todd's...that thing looks like it DWARFs Asteroids Deluxe though, which means it wouldn't not be Jeff's dumpy rented garage compatible.

Yep, I should be disqualified for sure! I'll have to tie my score on the one I'm restoring now to remove any doubt....

Thanks again Dave for the spare parts.
 
Looks sweet. What was the color you used on it? Hope to start mine soon.
If you happen across an extra step let me know;)
